Doesn't save Tab Groups to Bookmark subfolders.

Just what I was looking for! Save multiple tabs to a bookmark folder. UI could use an update, but works well.

Full disclosure, I'm copying and pasting this verbatim from a reply I gave on October 28 2019 in response to Robert Bossy's September 25 2019 review. Since the old chrome.google.com/webstore URLs no longer works and the "modernized" UI on the newer chromewebstore.google.com URLs only allow you to view reviews with star ratings (i.e. no other subsequent responses, save for ones given by the official dev account for that extension's webstore page) my previous advice was no longer able t obe seen by anyone Hence I decided to just post it as an actual review, both for better visibility reasons in the hopes it helps others, and also just cuz I honestly think this tried, tested and true over-a-literal-decade-"old faithful" extension deserves a full 5 stars :) EDIT / P.S. Here's the developer's own blog post introducing the extension → https://web.archive.org/web/20130729154405/http://dashburst.com/bookmark-my-tabs/ ORIGINAL COMMENT This extension was published back 2013 and to this day remains at version number 1.0.0, so don't expect any new feature requests to be incorporated lol. With that said, the behavior you're describing here already exists. It's actually why I prefer using this old bookmarking extension over the many others I've tried out. I guess I've been using it in that manner for so long I just assumed it was the default behavior at this point, but since you seem unaware of it here's the step-by-step process to configure it to your (and my) liking: 1 - Right click the extension icon and select "Options" from the context menu (alternatively, you can manually navigate to chrome://extensions and open up the "Details" pane of the extension, then scroll all the way down that page to click on the "Extension Options" button... but honestly right-clicking the icon is way easier) 2 - You should now be looking at the options page which opens up in a new tab. The specific setting that incorporates your feature request is on the third row, titled "Default URLs selected." Click on the drop down list and choose the "Select Highlighted" option. 3 (Optional) - Take a moment to adjust any other settings to your liking as well. If you're interested in my setup, I have both "Hide" options un-checked (i.e. this ensures that both the Bookmark section and Quick Launch section appear in the pop-up window), I've maxed out the Bookmark Buttons under the Quick Launch section (which only goes up to 6, but of course you can always hit "More Bookmark Folders" in the pop-up to show the rest, so this isn't a big setback), and I've also set it up so that any of these "Quick Launch Buttons/Bookmark Folders" open up in a separate window rather than shoveling a bunch of extra tabs onto my current window. Your tastes may differ, but I've found this is my optimal setup. And voila, now you can multi-select tabs - either CTRL/CMD clicking individual ones, or SHIFT clicking a whole range in between two tabs, or some combo of those two approaches - and once you've highlighted all of the relevant ones you can invoke the Bookmark My Tabs extension to see the popup already having checked off those tabs that are in an "active" status in your browser window. Give it one more quick glance over and manually un/check to taste before Copying or Bookmarking to a New/Existing folder, and you're done. Before this extension, I used Chrome's built-in method of right-clicking the tab-strip and selecting "Bookmark all tabs" (CTRL/CMD+SHIFT+D) and either ended up bookmarking an entire window containing a ton too many unnecessary and irrelevant fluff, or I'd go through and select all the tabs I wanted to save first, manually drag them out into a new window, then CTRL+SHIFT+D. Now I don't have to deal with that all or nothing "choice" anymore. Ironically enough, this over half a decade old outdated extension makes that workflow a lot more straightforward than the native bookmarking function that's built into the browser.
