Zhou Dong (ID: 000000d86ed7907a) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/09/2023 * Nice, easy, most important: very clear. * Love the compatibility of chrome builtin tab-groups. * feature suggestion: support drag & drop to move the tabs, to change tab position, and into / out of a tab group. * feature suggestion: during search, explicitly show which part is 'history'. * Because that time I used search in tabs, after clicked a tab in search result several times, it does not switch to that existing tab, but to keep opening new instances of it. And at last I realized it was opening from history which caused it.
