Floofy Tanker (ID: 000000f2687e3f2c) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/05/2023 This was exactly what I was looking for, tab limit extensions were too, sorry for the pun but "limited" and I'm a power user of chrome since when researching I tend to open a lot of tabs and the problem with that is that it consumes so much memory that chrome just stops responding at that point. This extension made my life a lot easier by both limiting the tabs for me and queueing the tabs that exceeds that limit and loading them once I close the old tabs! excellent extension!

Jesús Gildardo Mejía Cortés (ID: 0000004d3e7eec5c) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/05/2023 Excelente. Trabaja rápido, abro mas de 70 pestañas desde una carpeta de favoritos y las pone casi de inmediato en la cola.

mark ifi (ID: 000000556791ee19) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 06/02/2023 it fills a gap in the webstore, a good replacement to the now defunct "tabs limiter with queue" by rubenmv, this is pretty much perfect, but if you have further suggestions it is actively developed by inkz.dev. it also handles re-opened tabs better than the old extension, giving them priority instead of putting them on the back of the queue. it never crashes, stable, and it doesn't touch pinned tabs

Fatih Bayraktar (ID: 00000093193754f2) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/06/2022 This is exactly what I was looking for. I believe this extension has much more potential than 254 user as is.

Rafael Miranda Soares (ID: 000000fe133a5055) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/03/2022 It's the best one nowadays, since Google removed "Tabs limiter with queue", about queue I wanted to say... It lacked a queue, but it's still better than the others because the others don't let you open other tabs . It actually has a queue, but it doesn't have access to the links. I don't know if the tabs are saved if the browser crashes, I'll test it later."Tabs limiter with queue", supported browser crashes. Thanks for your extension.
