Denis Varga (ID: 0000005d9e4742c1) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 05/07/2024 Started to randomly duplicate tabs that i put into it. It happens this way - i put one tab into TMT, then i pull out the tab, then i open TMT again, and the tab is still there but there is two of them now, so i have 1 opened and 2 still inside of the extention. Very annoying. Gonna have to find alternative...

Wize B (ID: 000000e5029bac25) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 09/13/2023 Sorry but TooManyTabs being one of the first Tab managers, also makes it too ugly and outdated circa 2000? 😅 Too complicated and not user friendly. Im sure your other Ext get way more love and look good tho! 😉

TNS (ID: 000000d664bf5e23) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 02/22/2023 It's good but not great!

Broba Jolis (ID: 000000d51af68610) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 01/30/2023 the overall interface and performance wasn't impressive and the impact was too little

Florian “furomin” Gaul (ID: 0000008d3ab9b559) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/21/2022 Great extension! Recommended! I'm running on MS Edge but it should work even better when using Chrome! Just one minor issue: I was trying to donate a few bucks towards the devs to keep the app up and running, PayPal stated "Donations aren't supported in this organization's country"... I even used the link from the settings page within the extension... Don't know if this can be fixed, though...
