Changelog
Full version history of all releases
Version 6.1.0July 2026
New Features
- NEWAdvanced Tab Management (Pro) — The full tab control suite is now a clearly labelled Pro feature in Session Tools, with a Pro badge. Includes: Reload All, Merge Windows, Mute / Unmute Tabs, Auto Refresh, Pin Tabs, Unpin Tabs, Sort Tabs, Close by Domain, Close by Title, Close Empty Tabs, One Tab Per Domain, and Move Tabs.
- NEWTab selection for Move Tabs — Click individual tabs in the Move Tabs tool to select them directly (just like a normal tab list). Selected tabs are highlighted; all selected tabs move together to the destination window.
- NEWAdvanced Tab Management in Premium Features & Pricing — The Premium Features panel and the pricing page now both list Advanced Tab Management as a Pro benefit, with all 12 tools named.
- NEWPopup remembers your last position & page — The extension saves your last-visited tab and restores it when you reopen the popup, so you pick up exactly where you left off.
Improvements
- IMPROVEDMore descriptive tool labels — Session Tools descriptions updated to be clearer and more informative for everyday users.
- IMPROVEDTab Suspender moved before Advanced Tab Management in the Session Tools grid for a more logical layout.
- IMPROVEDPro users have full unrestricted access to Advanced Tab Management — no upgrade prompts shown inside the tool when signed in with a Pro account.
Bug Fixes
- FIXMove Tabs: only 1 tab moved when 2+ were selected. Fixed a bug where selecting multiple tabs and moving them to a new window would only move the first tab. All selected tabs now move correctly.
- FIXDark mode display issues — Fixed visual glitches in Chrome's dark mode that caused elements to appear incorrectly styled in the extension popup.
Version 6.0.7June 2026
Bug Fixes
- FIXBulk open and URL extract tools now open tabs directly from the popup context. This resolves communication issues with background service workers and improves tab loading speed.
Version 6.0.2June 2026
New Features
- NEWRemove all cloud data — Settings tab action and Account page on sessionmanager.net to permanently delete every synced session (including Recently deleted). Local sessions on this device are not affected.
Improvements
- NEWRemove tabs from the info popup — hover a row in the session tab list for a subtle × button; one click removes that URL from a saved session, temp session, or auto snapshot with a light animation (no confirmation).
- IMPROVEDSession info popup is wider (380px) so tab titles and session names truncate less.
- IMPROVEDPro users see Import and Export in the nav bar on the Current Session view for quicker access.
- IMPROVEDPopup layout refinements — slightly wider popup and tighter nav/button spacing.
Bug Fixes
- FIXPremium plan is no longer shown when you are signed out without a valid token.
Version 6.0.1June 2026
Bug Fixes
- FIXWith multiple browser windows open, saving or opening a session from the popup now targets the window you opened the popup from — not the first window in the list.
- FIXAdd window, add tab, replace, temp session, auto snapshot, and Session Tools actions (duplicate scan, suspend active tab, bulk open) use the same correct window context.
Improvements
- IMPROVEDPinned tabs are now included by default when saving sessions and temp sessions (Tab Settings checkbox on by default).
