Side Bar for Arc Users

Arc Browser like Pinned Sites, Bookmarks and Active Tabs in Side Panel

I missed Arc's sidebar after switching to Chrome in how Arc puts favorites, bookmarks, and tabs all in one vertical list and its pinned tab support. So I built this extension to bring that experience to Chrome. ## What's New: Arc-Style Spaces Finally, Spaces are here! Create workspaces that link a bookmark folder to a Chrome tab group. Switch between Work, Personal, and whatever else you've got going on - each space shows only its stuff. - Each space has its own focused bookmark tree - Uses Chrome's native tab groups to organize tabs - One click to switch contexts - Give each space its own color and icon - Swipe with two fingers to jump between spaces - Included in import/export ## Key Features - Arc-Style Persistent Tabs - Bookmarks act as live tabs. Click to open, click again to jump back. Close tabs freely—bookmarks stay in the sidebar. - Arc-Style Spaces - Isolated workspaces linking bookmark folders to tab groups. Switch contexts with one click. - Arc-Style Unified Sidebar - Pinned favorites, bookmarks, and tabs in one vertical panel. - IDE-Style Tab History - Navigate by usage order like VS Code. Keyboard shortcuts: Cmd+Shift+< / > - Tab Groups - Full support for Chrome's native tab groups. Drag, rename, recolor, save as bookmark folders. - Drag & Drop Everything - Reorder pins, bookmarks, tabs, groups. Drop tabs into folders to save them. - Search & Filter - Filter by text, live tabs, or audio. Save frequent searches. Export/import as JSON.
