Add setting to disable Chrome tab group creation
Resolved 💬 3 comments Opened Feb 12, 2026 by ajiblock Closed Feb 16, 2026
Feature Request
Every time a new Claude Code session starts with Chrome integration enabled, the extension creates a new tab group in Chrome. These tab groups accumulate across sessions and clutter the browser, especially for users who run many sessions throughout the day.
Current Behavior
- Each new Claude Code session creates a "Claude Code" tab group in Chrome
- Old tab groups persist after sessions end
- No way to disable this behavior short of
--no-chrome(which disables all browser integration)
Requested Behavior
A setting to disable automatic tab group creation, e.g.:
// ~/.claude/settings.json or .claude/settings.local.json
{
"chromeTabGroups": false
}
Or a CLI flag like --no-chrome-tab-groups.
The Chrome integration tools (read page, navigate, etc.) should still work — just without auto-creating and organizing tabs into groups.
Workaround
Currently the only workarounds are:
- Manually right-clicking each tab group → "Close group" or "Ungroup"
- Disabling Chrome integration entirely with
--no-chrome
