CRUZ MORALES (ID: 000000ffe1398920) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/23/2023 Amazing work and I absolutely think it's the best tab organizer out there, hands down. Only thing I'd like is the ability to set my own keybindings for the common things like grouping tabs. And a quick how-to would be great!

Troy Robinson (ID: 00000052425ba225) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/20/2023 I rarely write reviews although this extension is the best tab/bookmark manager I've ever tried, and I've tried 10s of them. I've been endlessly searching for a tab manager that works with Chrome's built-in tab groups, bookmarks, etc. and Stash nails the UX. It's like the developer(s) went ahead and built for the world what the Chrome team hinted towards years ago (https://chromeunboxed.com/how-to-save-and-recall-chrome-tab-groups). Thank you so much!
