window & tab management for chrome?

What's the best of breed Window/Tab manager for Chrome (Mac)?

I often find my windows too cluttered - duplicate tabs, too hard to find the thing I am really looking for. This has to be a solved problem - what am I missing?

So far TabBrew looks like a promising option, but there seem to be about a dozen extensions, and maybe other ways of doing this?

Hoping to tap the Lem-mind..

I know you asked for chrome, but firefox is really the best here. With https://github.com/mbnuqw/sidebery (version 5) it's extremely nice.

Here are my custom styles which I think make it look a lot better

#root.root {--tabs-activated-shadow: 0px 1px 4px -1px rgba(0,0,0,.5), inset 0 0 0 1px rgba(255,255,255,0.133);}
#root.root {--tabs-activated-bg: #d3ebffff;}
#root.root {--tabs-inner-gap: 6px;}
#root.root {--tabs-indent: 8px;}
#root.root {--tabs-font: .9rem sans-serif;}
#root.root {--tabs-height: 25px;}
#root.root {--popup-bg: rgb(244, 245, 246);}
#root.root {--general-margin: 0px;}
#root.root {--frame-bg: #9a9996ff;}

#root.root {--status-active: #146fd9;}

#root.root {--tabs-border-radius: 4px 0 0 4px;}


/* OLD CSS VARS

*/

.Tab .body{
  border-style: solid;
  border-width: 0px 0px 1px;
  border-color: rgba(154, 153, 150,0.55);
	background-color: #FCFCFC;
}

.Tab[data-discarded="true"] > .body > .fav,
.Tab[data-discarded="true"] > .body > .t-box, 
.Tab[data-discarded="true"] > .body > .ctx {
  opacity: 1.00;
	--frame-fg: red;
}

.TabsPanel .bottom-space {
	height: 0;
}

.TabsPanel .bottom-bar {
	display: none;
}

.Tab .progress-spinner {
	right: 1px;
	bottom: 1px;
}

.Tab[data-loading="true"] .fav-icon {
  mask: radial-gradient(circle at calc(100% - 8px) calc(100% - 8px),rgba(0,0,0,.141),rgba(0,0,0,.141) 8px,#000 8px,#000);
}

Tab Groups (which is a native feature, not an extension, but not sure if available on Mac)?

Or just multiple windows + Session Buddy to stowe away/restore your tabs/windows.

Tabgroups work fine on Mac - but they don't help me not open duplicates or find what I'm looking for unless I'm really diligent about grouping things.

It's an ok start.

Unrelated but why not use safari? The tab grouping is so good, and not buggy/useless like the built in groups in chrome or the extensions for chrome and ff

Thanks for helping me think outside of the box
