Xalomon (ID: 000000fce49f3da0) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 04/25/2022 Opening a bunch of saved tabs will drive you insane as they fill up your ram and make your browser and system hang. Use recently closed for a better alternative that doesn't do this.

Mason (ID: 0000000a36bf4166) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 03/10/2022 really needs to use the chrome window name so you don't have to rename the window in chrome and the extension every time you open or close it

Najla Nur Ariqah (ID: 00000035c536c722) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 01/08/2022 Love it already! although i think there still a lot of improvement.. like the ui and else!! but overall it's good, tbh i moved from another session tab extension to here because this is the only one that i found can add tab with url and to use it very simple!~ Btw, I hope there was sync feature later on (but doesn't make you must use account to be able to use it). My issue is on the Support section I just realized that this literally doesn't got updated at all, last update is 2018.. lol
