No longer works with Manifest V3
I've noticed a sharp decrease in usability recently on this, and tried to switch it to manifest v3. Now the js has stopped working altogether. Any solutions / suggestions? It looks like you can no longer run persistent js on chrome now.
I've got it mostly working on Manifest V3: https://github.com/cspotcode/spaces
It's ported to a service worker as dictated by manifest v3. Not sure if the service worker going idle and terminating will break things. As far as I can tell, browsers restart the service worker on demand whenever you open the extension's popup or interact with it.
I was gonna teach the extension to understand tab groups, but I dunno if I'll have time for that; Edge has this mostly built-in with Workspaces, so I might just use those.
I'm a developer of TabXpert extension. It has a similar session tracking approach as in Spaces, no wonder, because Spaces encouraged me to write TabXpert. I recently implemented an import from Spaces. Also, TabXpert MV3 compatible and supports Chrome tab groups, sync with Cloud and many other features.
@cspotcode
I try to use your repo, and I found some bugs about active space name in race condition and can't trig spaces-switch
to specific closed sessions correctly.
(repo: https://github.com/alieonsido/spaces , in 20250106 it's stable enough to work on V3)
So that, I had rewritten some functions by LLM and sent pull request.
However, I'm not a front-end engineer, ~~although I fixed wrong spaces-switch cases, but active space ID in race condition bug haven't been fixed~~ (It works on 20250106)
maybe added some redundant & dirty codes.
More details are in pull request script.
Sincerely, thanks for your work & help, your work helps me a lot. I really love Spaces Project.
I've stopped working on Spaces because I discovered Edge Workspaces. They do everything I need and are built-in to the browser, and I haven't hit the occasional syncing and tab duplication bugs that seem inevitable with extension-based solutions. Though to be fair, I never tried any paid options.

Anyway, I'm posting this because I don't want anyone to waste time sending me pull requests, but feel free to take my code for your own fork.
@cspotcode Again, Thanks for your contribution to help me finish thr porting work and Happy New Year m(_ _)m I sent PR to deanoemcke Repo after I had sent to you, sorry about the inconvenience Which I did.
Everybody interested in my Porting V3 Version could go to my repo mentioned above.
Hey folks - I've missed this subsequent discussion (and the forks!). Anyway I've also forked it and updated it here: https://github.com/codedread/spaces.
I worked with Dean to transfer the Chrome web store item to me. I'm accepting patches!
