Tabs reopen in random order #28

Closed JonathanLennox closed 3 weeks ago

JonathanLennox commented 11 months ago

When I reopened my tabs, the tabs opened on my new phone were in an apparently random order compared to the tabs on my old phone.

Chrome 120 in both cases; transferring from a Pixel 3a running Android 12 to a Pixel 8 running Android 14.

Workaround: I can manually edit the tabs-reopen.sh file to fix this.

This is probably an issue with the underlying Chrome HTTP API endpoint, which is used to collect the open tabs.

This tool doesn't transform the received data in any way, except for iterating over the entries in order. If they're already coming back in a seemingly random order, I don't think anything can be done about it.

I will re-check with my own device(s) regardless. Thanks for reporting!

Added a new section in README.md addressing the tab order and groups.
