Kendra Moore (ID: 000000fb22cfd3f9) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 12/17/2017 I love the idea of Tangent, but the application has some insurmountable issues. This extensions requires you to be logged in to properly sync over multiple systems, and logging in erased everything I'd saved before I logged in. Even though I'm currently logged in on two systems, my projects aren't syncing. Decided to switch to Project Tab Manager, because it saves everything in the bookmarks folder, which syncs across all Chrome systems, including mobile phones.

Alberto Cohen (ID: 0000007be845125d) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 08/18/2017 I'm using it and it is very helpful. I found one problem, though. I put some 15 tabs in a folder and, whenever I try to open that folder, Chrome would hang up (memory). Is there a way to edit/split the folder without opening it, so that it becomes smaller?

Sue Amar (ID: 0000004aef8f233b) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 04/18/2015 This is the perfect plug-in! I constantly have multiple tabs open and for different reasons or "projects" and this makes it easier than bookmarking or leaving everything open for a long time! Thanks Tangent!

Sam Ganim (ID: 000000ab5c3be3a9) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 04/08/2015 One of those apps/extensions that make you wonder why it isn't already in the browser. Really easy to save and load projects.
