Work with tabs and windows

Lists, opens, focuses, closes, reloads, moves and groups tabs in any connected browser.

op tabs

Details #

op is one of:

list: [{tabId, windowId, url, title, active, pinned, audible, browser}], filtered by match.
open (with url, background), newWindow (private), navigate (url).
focus, close, reload, back, forward, duplicate, pin, unpin, mute, unmute.
dedupe: close duplicate tabs, keeping the oldest.
move (toWindow, index), and group (name, color, Chrome family).

Ops that act on tabs take match with all: true, so "close every tab on twitter.com" is one step. Without match or tab they act on the front tab.
