Xalomon (ID: 000000fce49f3da0) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 05/17/2022 Try to close a window with many tabs and using Chrome's History>Recently Closed to restore them, and there'll be no problems. Try to use this extension and when they're reloaded, all of them fill the memory at once causing the browser to freeze and the system to hang. Something isn't working the way it should.

Guillaume Pelletier (ID: 000000a4ad387982) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 06/07/2021 Great for launching tab groups. I wish it preserved the "pin" state of a tab though.
