Not working outside Chrome

[HikariWS]

Thanks for trying to crack it, but I tried it on Brave and still didn't work. I'm logged on Google and it still asks to sign in to Chrome. Maybe it's still looking for some code on Chrome. Looks like Brave doesn't have Chrome's sign in on Google feature.

If it doesn't work on other Chromium browsers, cracking it is useless. Its license is lifetime, so just buy it.

Actually Vladyslav Volovyk, the main developer from Tabs Outliner seems to be dissapeared for almost a year now, and no new developments were made to tabs outliner even before that, so it seems that a fork of his work is necessary and having his full work here seems like a good place to start.

That is because chrome.identity API is not working on Brave, refer to brave/brave-browser#7693.

I will try to resolve this in few days...

@rodrigo103 he's been away for years. It's been 5 years he makes no post on its official forum and 3 years he doesn't even login. We believed he might had died and nobody notified us, but a few months ago we had an update on Google's extensions repository.

That means that he (or somebody related to him who has his Google password) is still in minimum condition, and was able to submit a new version. But there's no mention on what had changed on that version, which makes we believe he only did that to make it look like the extension isn't abandoned, and more ppl buy its license.

We can't fork the extension, as its license doesn't allow that. This repository is piracy, and nobody can distribute any software based on code here. At maximum, anybody can use it to understand how things are done and develop new code not related to it.

I found this repo in a web search when I was looking for the Tabs Outliner forum. I had to laugh because now there are cracks for browser extensions... and why not, right? But Tabs Outliner is so unstable, it constantly loses tab groups and accumulates duplicates in the tab list because it crashes every time I restart the browser. Tabs Outliner is incompatible with extensions like Auto Tab Discard. There are also many weird visual glitches like broken lines and spurious garbage:

It's been 5 years he makes no post on its official forum and 3 years he doesn't even login.

I guess the web site has been deleted to cover this up. That is not a good sign: I think the developer just wants to sit back and collect money without fixing any bugs. I would not be happy if I had paid for this badly broken extension, and do not think it is worth cracking:

There are other extensions in development which can replace it. Their code is much less sloppy and they are built with modern web technologies. This extension is really a mess -- the developer knows it is obsolete and does not care about the users.

We believed he might had died and nobody notified us, but a few months ago we had an update on Google's extensions repository.

Aha, yes -- 1.4.137 was published immediately after this post. So I think he is following this discussion very closely. If only he spent as much time on development as he spends on monitoring and censoring discussions! But he cannot censor reviews in the Chrome store, so there are plenty of comments like this:

"My main reason for not jumping on the paid subscription is that lost data results in loss of faith in the program (and programmer)."

"history garbage, which accumulates constantly"

"Used to love this extension so much but now there is no support, no response to emails, very disappointing. I have thousands of tabs saved over 3 years that I can't recover."

"Vladyslav Volovyk: Since you have had such a hard time maintaining this extension, would you be willing to make it open source and throw it up on GitHub?"

"I used to like it BUT it get too messy as time goes on. It takes longer and longer to load up when I click on the button."

"At first it was marvelous. But recently, after I've had a crash or similar event, I've opened TO and found that there had been nothing saved -- for WEEKS! And I upgraded to the paid version too."

"UNSUPPORTED. BEWARE. When it has problems - and it will - you will discover that there is no support."

"Really wish I had read this review before I paid for this extension. TO is completely useless if you want to use the 'Continue where I left off'..."

I spent a lot of time searching for similar extensions, here are some which you might want to try:

Tabli
Treely
Treely Lite
Super Focus Tabs
Vertical Tabs

Treely seems to be only one which does multi-level nesting. There is one feature I can't find in any of this is to be able to select multiple tabs with ctrl/shift key pressed and then do batch operations like delete.

Is this the error?

Missing required parameter: scope [Learn more about this error](https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/oauth2)
If you are a developer of Tabs Outliner, see [error details](https://accounts.google.com/).

googles OAuth page pops up but the problem is the scope is not defined.
