✦ Browser Right-Click Menu — Manage Tabs Without Opening the Side Panel

Access tab management features directly from the browser's native right-click menu. Right-click a tab, a page, a link, or the extension icon to suspend, close, group, sort, snapshot, and more — zero screen space consumed.

• Suspend tabs — Suspend current, other, all, by hostname/domain, inactive, or other-window tabs. Shows live tab counts for same-site items.
• Close & cleanup — Close tabs above, close duplicates, close all hibernated, close by hostname/domain, and batch-clear by condition.
• Reload — Hard reload (bypass cache), batch reload all/other/same-site/hibernated tabs.
• Duplicate & move — Duplicate to new window or incognito, move to incognito, move tab or group to start/end.
• Sort — One-click sort by domain A-Z/Z-A, URL, or last access time.
• Group — Group by domain, AI smart grouping, ungroup all, merge groups.
• Snapshots — Create snapshot, view history, open snapshot settings.
• Tab info — Rename, copy info, generate QR code, view browsing history, schedule tasks.
• Site data — Clear cookies and site data for the current site.
• Quick actions — Mute all playing tabs, switch to last accessed tab, lock current tab.
• Link context — Open links in a popup window from the link right-click menu.
• Extension icon — Quick actions: view snapshots, set sidebar position, toggle page sidebar, tab group operations.
• Tab context (Chrome 150+) — All tab management actions available directly in the tab strip right-click menu.

✦ Split View — Side-by-Side Window Tiling

Arrange tabs into tiled windows for focused multitasking. Available from the tab right-click menu, the side panel tab menu, and the browser context menu.

• Single-tab split — Right-click any tab to split it side-by-side or top-and-bottom with the current window. The original window keeps its remaining tabs.
• Multi-tab tiling (Premium) — Select 3–4 tabs in the side panel and tile them into custom layouts: three columns, three rows, 2×2 grid, or asymmetric arrangements (1 left + 2 right, 2 left + 1 right).
• Cancel split — Restore all tiled windows back to a single maximized window. Available from the window menu and browser context menu.
• Multi-session support — Run multiple independent split-view sessions across different windows simultaneously.
• Browser context menu — Split View submenu with Side by Side, Top and Bottom, and Cancel Split options right from the page right-click menu.

Due to browser API limitations, split view currently works by creating separate windows. We'll switch to native split once the API becomes available.

✦ Right-Click Menu Settings

Full customization from the VertiTab options page:

• Drag-and-drop reordering of menu items.
• Per-item enable/disable toggles.
• Per-context type toggles: page, tab, frame, link, extension icon.
• One-click reset per section or all menus.

✦ Multi-Select Checkbox Mode

• When enabled, favicons are replaced with checkboxes during multi-tab selection for clearer visual feedback. Configure in Settings > Tabs > Appearance.

✦ Extension Icon Action Expanded

• Extension icon click action now supports two additional options: Tab Snapshots and AI Assistant, alongside the existing side panel, popup, and pop-up window options. Configure in Settings > Appearance.

✦ Smart Highlighted-Tab Detection for AI Grouping

• AI grouping from the browser right-click menu now automatically detects multi-selected (highlighted) tabs and groups only those tabs instead of the entire window.

✦ Content Script Exclusion List

• New "Other Settings" page where you can add domains to exclude from VertiTab's content scripts, resolving conflicts with websites like Google Gemini. Disabled features on excluded domains are clearly listed.

✦ Version Update Notifications

• New version updates now appear as a notification in the message center for better visibility, in addition to the existing changelog badge.

• The Page Keep Alive helper script is now injected on-demand only when the feature is active, instead of being loaded on every page. This reduces interference with third-party websites.
• When the "Use Pop-up Window" option is enabled (click extension icon), resizing the window now remembers the dimensions.
• Closing tabs to the left or right of the current tab no longer closes pinned tabs — pinned tabs are always skipped.
• Browser right-click menu on tabs (Chrome) now shows descriptive labels like "This Site" and "This Domain" instead of hostnames that may not match the right-clicked tab.
• Each right-click menu popup (AI Grouping, Rename Tab, etc.) now remembers its own window size and position independently.
• AI Grouping dialog now displays real-time progress and stays open until manually closed, allowing you to undo the operation if needed.

• Fixed "Close Same Site Tabs" using domain-based matching instead of hostname-based matching, causing incorrect tabs to be closed.
• Fixed settings with valid falsy values (e.g., disabled toggles) being incorrectly reset to defaults.
• Fixed AI Grouping popup from the right-click menu not showing the login prompt for unauthenticated users.

• New permission: contextMenus — enables integration of tab management features into the browser's native right-click menu for quick access without opening the side panel.

v3.7 brings tab management to where you already are — the right-click menu. No panel to open, no screen space consumed. Right-click, act, done.
