Harley _ (ID: 000000245c468e97) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 11/10/2023 The number is really difficult to see. Would've better if there's only the number, that means no folder icon, the whole widget will just be a a number!

Misha Chirpy (ID: 000000e336bc6cd8) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/04/2023 It's functional and very easy to use. It doesn't pretend to be anything other than a tab counter, which I like a lot. The interface also isn't fancy or modern at all which makes it easy to read as well. I have used this extension for several years at this point and it's hard to live without it at this point. I personally use it because I like statistics and I'm a tab hoarder so I want to know how many hundreds of tabs I have open, but it can also be useful for people who want to limit the number of tabs they have open at any time.
