Disable copying of system tabs about tabbard HOT 6 CLOSED

In my first post I added system tabs to be skipped only for Firefox. Now I add list of tabs to be skipped in Chromium:

• chrome://bookmarks/
• chrome://extensions/
• chrome://flags/
• chrome://history/
• chrome://settings/

I may have missed some other system tabs.

This is a great idea.

In Firefox, it would probably be best to have an option to just exclude:

• about:*

and possibly

• moz-extension:*

But not exclude:

• chrome:*
• resource:*

In Firefox, if you have chrome or resource tabs open, it's likely you are developing code and want them copied too.

If you want to get fancy, you could have individual checkboxes for each type... then it wouldn't need to be different across browsers.

I'll also include brave:* into this list. Sadly, there is no isSystemTab flag on Tab object.

I know uBlock Origin uses specifiers like about-scheme. See https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/blob/1.25.2/src/js/background.js#L114

I only mention it if it happens to help you. Otherwise, I think it's better to just use specifiers like about:*.

Any thoughts on implementing this? It would be a significant improvement to a great extension! :)

Sorry. Manifest v3 will kill this extension. Continuing its support is pointless. Closing the issue.
