Persist Tabs Between Windows when using Groups #1727

Description

Hey! I was recommended to use SideBery since I am transitioning out of Arc for Windows, and I was told this creates the same experience. So far I like the general idea of sidebery, but there is something that is missing that I think would make the general usability much greater.

Right now opening a new window creates a window with the same groups, but without persisting the tabs. I'd appreciate the tab persistence, so that you can essentially just have several groups of tabs in every window, rather than one window overloaded with tabs.

Even if this means you can't have a group open in two windows at once (which wouldn't make a ton of sense to do anyway), the lack of persistence is a usability issue for me, and likely more than just me.

came here to suggest the same thing! as impressed as i am with how customizable sidebery is, this lack of persistence as you mention defeats the whole purpose for me. tab stash, for example, shows all your saved groups and tabs whenever you open the sidebar, though the use case for that extension is slightly different. the ability to save multiple separate windows in a tab group would be a welcome addition as well.

I've been using Vivaldi as my daily driver since opening this issue since they have the tab persistence natively in the browser, albeit not across devices like Arc does. Might be a good alternative for you while waiting for Sidebery to add this functionality!
