maddada (ID: 0000004cca3a8b7a) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/25/2024 Since the V3 update this extension has become unusable for me sadly. It also doesn't support showing the tab groups that I have in my browser (Edge). Thank you for this great extension that I have used for years, but I would have to stop using it now. Keeping the 5 stars for old times sake.

Bryan Keadle (ID: 000000263e461080) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/16/2024 Great work! Get rid of all your other Tab managers! This one is all you need!

Lowell Ramsey (ID: 0000008c5f2ea4ad) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/25/2023 So I've been using Tabli for an hour or two, and I love it. I've had several hundred tabs open for a long time, and Tabli is escorting me out of tab hell, just like Antony says! The concept of converging bookmarks and tabs into one UI is the best. Chrome has ignored bookmark hygiene for way too long. Kudos to Antony for starting to clean up an Exxon Valdez-sized mess!

Rupert Allan (ID: 000000b4eb33af1d) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/04/2023 Really nice and simple, and allows quick renaming/access/reorganization without being overkill or clunky. Would just love the ability to change keybindings!

Prav Ma (ID: 000000245cb62a9b) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/14/2023 Love that it gives me a tab list separated by windows. Searching it and having it be separated by windows is great. I just wish Chrome offered extensions an API for virtual desktops so Tabli could go a level higher.
