Barry Smith (ID: 000000ccdb03b0e8) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 12/02/2023 I really liked it to begin with, but when I open up my browser, it would randomly create new tab groups for some tabs when there were already groups present and it would also jump existing tab groups around, which was very disorientating... Not for me at this time.

SHIGERU NAGATANI (ID: 000000eae02f4fe1) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 03/12/2023 Chromeの「タブをグループに追加」機能を自動で行ってくれる。色も自動で設定され、特に良いのはグループのタブ位置が常にNAMEの順となるのでタブグループを自分のお気に入り順にでき、自分好みの順序にできるため使い勝ってもよいです。

Thiago Wress (ThiagoW) (ID: 000000e515229931) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 02/13/2023 Just missing the option to backup the tabs and import, export, also option not to load all the tabs when clicking on the group, put the tabs to sleep to save memory
