Xalomon (ID: 000000fce49f3da0) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 04/25/2022 Saving tabs into a group make them lose their suspended status, meaning using this extension will make all of them to fill your memory when restored (if they're too many tabs), unlike google's recently closed.

Stuart Rackham (ID: 000000525dcc643b) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/13/2020 Great extension, settled on it after trying a number of others. Love the minimal UI. Would be nice if you did not get a blank tab when you open a group in a new window.

anon ymous (ID: 00000076f5e3854c) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 05/06/2019 It doesn't group tabs what-so-ever. It's just bookmark folders.

Kázmér Nádudvari (Kazi) (ID: 0000003ea2886f1a) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 05/01/2019 The best tabs manager I have downloaded so far. I like the UI, but there are 2 issues need to be fixed: 1) The UI pops up slowly on large amount of URLs, approx 8 tab groups with sum of ~100 links 2) "Open in new window" menu opens the tab group with an additional empty tab, and the new window is not maximized. Please fix, thanks
