About Changelog

All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.

This changelog will be updated according to the development progress. The date following the version is the date it was submitted to the Web Store, not the release date in the app stores (review times vary between app stores, with the Edge Add-ons store review potentially taking up to a week).

You can find the latest version in the Chrome Web Store, the Edge Add-ons Store, or the Firefox Add-ons Store.

✦ Cross-Browser Bookmark Sharing — View Your Edge Bookmarks Right Inside Chrome

Use Chrome at work and Edge at home? Two separate bookmark sets with no easy way to cross-reference. Now each browser joins its own sync space, and you can follow another space to view its bookmarks read-only in the side panel. No merging, no overwriting — switch between two independent sets anytime.

  • Follow other sync spaces to view read-only bookmark copies in the side panel.
  • Click any link to open it directly in the current browser — no app switching needed.
  • Fully isolated — your local bookmarks stay independent.

✦ Bookmark Cloud Sync — Zero Data Loss, Multi-Device Auto Merge

Say goodbye to data loss from "last write wins." Every bookmark operation is precisely recorded as an operation log; multi-device conflicts are resolved deterministically by the algorithm; deleted items are preserved as tombstones. Preview merge results before joining a space, auto-snapshot before each sync, and a Failsafe anomaly detector blocks unexpected large-scale changes.

  • Create or join a sync space for automatic multi-device bookmark sync.
  • Preview local-vs-cloud merge before joining, with 3 merge strategies.
  • Safety guard: auto-aborts and prompts confirmation when large-scale deletions/additions are detected.
  • Browse another sync space's bookmarks read-only in the side panel (no local impact).
  • Real-time sync progress and status display.

✦ Bookmark Snapshots — A Time Machine for Your Bookmarks, Every Step Reversible

Auto-snapshot on every significant change, plus manual creation anytime. Browse any version on the timeline, highlight diffs between two snapshots (added/deleted/moved), and restore with one click — the current state is auto-backed up before restore, so every step is reversible.

  • Manually create snapshots, browse the full bookmark tree, compare with current bookmarks and highlight differences.
  • Auto-snapshot: triggered before cloud sync and on bookmark changes, with smart deduplication to save space.
  • Scheduled snapshots (every 6/12 hours, daily, or weekly).
  • Import/Export: HTML (Netscape) and JSON formats supported.
  • Granular settings: auto-snapshot toggle, max retention count, minimum change threshold, schedule interval.

✦ Lock Tab — Real Protection, Not Just "Pin" — Prevents Close and Navigation

Chrome's pin tab only repositions and shrinks — it can still be closed. VertiTab's Lock provides two layers of protection: close interception, in-page links forced to new tabs, and address bar navigation auto-rollback. Lock persists through browser restarts.

  • Closing requires confirmation after lock (Ctrl+W, middle-click, × button all intercepted).
  • In-page link clicks open in a new tab — original page stays.
  • URL navigation auto-restores; new links open in new tabs.
  • Lock state survives browser restart.
  • Per-site settings also offer a lightweight "prevent accidental close" option.

✦ Debug Mode — One-Click Site Data Reset for Development and Everyday Use

For developers: one-click clear of IndexedDB, Service Workers, Cache Storage, etc. with hard reload — precisely preserve login cookies. For everyday users: many sites store trial counts, popup flags, and read limits in your browser — clearing resets those restrictions, making the site treat you as a new user.

  • Mark tabs or entire sites as "in development"; click the icon to trigger clear + hard reload.
  • Toggle individual storage types (localStorage, IndexedDB, Cache, Service Workers, Cookies).
  • Cookie exclusion list to precisely preserve auth tokens.
  • Per-site config — different sites can have different clear strategies.

✦ Group Management & Productivity
  • Close tabs in current group — Right-click submenu to close other/above/below/same-hostname/same-domain tabs, scoped to the current group only.
  • Merge groups — Combine multiple groups into one with a custom target name and color; hover buttons to quickly copy group info.
  • Auto-collapse inactive groups — Automatically collapse groups after a configurable idle time, globally or per-group, with option to promote as default.
  • Save tab URL — Remember a tab's URL, edit it later, and return with one click even if the page has navigated away.
✦ Visual & Accessibility
  • Color-blind / color-weak mode — Okabe-Ito accessibility palette for tab group colors, plus a dedicated color-blind theme.
  • Custom tab group colors — Override default group colors with any hex value, separate config for light/dark mode, with live preview.

v3.6 is an update that brings bookmarks to life. Whether it's cross-device sync, cross-browser browsing, time-travel restore, or page lock, we want you to rely on your browser with more confidence and keep your focus on what truly matters.
