Inconsistent Page or Group Behavior Across Multiple Browser Windows

When using multiple browser windows, such as having two Chrome browser windows open side by side, an issue occasionally occurs where the content on one window unexpectedly switches to the other.

For example, imagine you have two browser windows labeled as Browser 1 and Browser 2:

In Browser 1, you have a chat with ChatGPT open. You type a question and press enter, and ChatGPT begins generating an answer.

While ChatGPT is in the process of generating the answer in Browser 1, you switch to Browser 2 to work on something else.

However, in some instances, once ChatGPT completes its response in Browser 1, the generated content may suddenly switch and appear in Browser 2 instead of staying in Browser 1 as expected.

In summary, the issue is that when using multiple browser windows, the content from one browser window sometimes unexpectedly transfers to another window, causing a disruption in your workflow.

Hi there, thanks @loilo for this add-on, i was dreaming of it for a while ! I would add an enhancement to this issue : I'm using several browser windows too, like "environments" (team work, personal work, personal research and so on...). As you may know, when opening a link from another source (mail client, chat client, etc) the link will open in the last used browser window, and Auto-group Tabs is not grouping the newly opened tab to the potentially existing group in another browser window, but it creates a new group in the current browser window. May be you can add a setup, general or by group to activate or not multi-windows grouping ! Thank you !

Hey @Hyug, you can do this on a per-group base. Click the "Advanced Settings" button and tick the "Merge" checkbox. Then, an existing group in another browser window will be preferred to creating a new one in the current window.

That said, as a general note: Please do not chime into someone else's issue unless you're like 99% sure it's actually the same problem. It makes separating problem spaces harder for me – just create a new issue in such a case, they're free. :)

@Loevbo Not really, I didn't really have time to dig deeper into the extension since you opened the issue, sorry.
