Luis Ramalho (ID: 000000d0a34de149) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 05/15/2023 It seems to work as advertised. To my understanding, with the extension active in chrome, and enabled, every new tab opens in an entire new session, and it seems doing just that. I can have multiple online "same game" different accounts opened at the same time. I would just add a few observations. 1- There should be a icon badge indication, the extension is enabled and causing new session tabs. 2- We don't exactly know how this works. I meant, if I'm in a tab and follow a link opening a new tab, this new tab belong to the parent session, or is a new session? I thing it should belong to the parent session, but I don't know. Please clarify the situation. 3- Maybe You could colorize or use some unique mark in the tab so we know wich session it is, a new session or a tab belonging to a parent session (I don't know if I'm being clear and making sense). 4- Maybe it is also a good idea, not only keep the current functionality intact, but also add, as an option, the possibility to create new tab in a new session ONLY when I click the extension icon. As it should, every time one clicks any tab created under the this extension management, the extension should somehow signal with a icon badge that the tab session is being manage by the extension. Anyway, this extension works even with discord.com. I say this because there is another extension, with similar session per tab concept, that prevents discord to fully load, and executes correctly, one can't even login.
