Lauris Stephani (ID: 00000007477cd30e) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 09/30/2023 Wiped my dozens of tabs when I clicked save state, including tabs I will never be able to find again. Great job

icon

Hozefa Sadriwala (ID: 000000f81f57ad41) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 03/08/2023 Extension works well, but only with one state of tabs. This is similar to the functionality that chrome provides builtin by going to history and choosing the last closed tabs state for example. I was actually hoping it would have a way to save multiple states (i.e. multiple tab groups), and labelling them too, so I could open the tab group that I want to currently work on. If that functionality is incorporated, the rating goes to five stars :)

Bruce Preston (ID: 000000dcd36320da) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 01/02/2023 It doesn't work the way a "save state" feature should. Save state implies that you can save a web page in the state it was when you last accessed it and then upon loading it, it loads the same content again. This extension does not "save" anything except for the urls in the tabs and then re-loads the url. It will not save the web page content. The web page content will re-load and update and will be different from what you had before. Automatic one-star for a gimmicky, sketchy, mis-leading fail state extension.

Kyle Rioux (ID: 000000431badf4c6) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/18/2021 Having a computer with an abysmal battery life, this extension has been a life saver for keeping my tabs saved. Especially helpful for research papers and the like. Would highly recommend to anybody.

Jessica Sparkman (ID: 0000006596b44110) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/17/2021 This extension has made my life way easier! I was always having to close all my tabs to shut down my computer and that get's annoying fast. But with Save State I can save them, and they'll still be there after the restart!
