TMS 8.1.0 is a significant feature release. Tab Groups are now a first-class citizen, favicons are more reliable, and the suspended tab page can now follow your OS theme automatically.

What's new​

Tab Group support​

TMS will now save and restore your Tab Groups across version upgrades and session save/restore operations. Groups are preserved with their names and colors. This was the most requested feature since the MV3 rewrite.

Automatic theme​

A new System option has been added to the theme selector in Settings → General. When selected, the suspended tab page follows your operating system's light/dark preference automatically. The existing Light and Dark options remain.

More suspend intervals​

The "Suspend automatically after" dropdown now includes additional minute-level options, giving more fine-grained control over how quickly inactive tabs are suspended.

Favicon reliability​

Several improvements to favicon fetching and caching make the icon shown on suspended tab pages more consistent, especially in Chromium-based browsers like Vivaldi.

Session Manager shortcut​

A dedicated quick-access button to the Session Management page has been added to the extension popup, so you can reach your saved sessions without opening the full settings.

Other fixes and changes​

  • Removed cookies permission (no longer needed)
  • Fixed TypeError: undefined crash in tab queue handling
  • Removed leftover console.log from the content script
  • Added extension icon images to web_accessible_resources for Vivaldi compatibility
  • Various Crowdin localization updates
