Brave Workspaces

Opera-like workspaces for Brave/Chrome, built on tab groups, with automatic memory suspension for inactive workspaces.

Features

Workspaces with name, color, and icon — each is a tab group in your main window
Switching collapses other workspaces and focuses your last-used tab
New tabs join the active workspace; tabs opened from a page follow their opener
Inactive workspaces are suspended after a delay (default 10 min): tabs are discarded to free memory, but audible tabs (music/video), pinned tabs, and opted-out tabs keep running. Discarded tabs reload instantly when clicked.
Keyboard shortcuts: Ctrl+Shift+1..4 to switch workspaces (remap at brave://extensions/shortcuts)
Right-click a page → "Move tab to workspace"
Search tabs across all workspaces from the popup
Memory indicator: see how many tabs per workspace are sleeping
Session backup: a snapshot is saved continuously; restore it manually from ⚙️ Settings if a session is ever lost. The extension never deletes or restores tabs automatically — enable Brave's "Continue where you left off" for normal restarts.

All features can be toggled in the popup's ⚙️ Settings panel.
