Xalomon (ID: 000000fce49f3da0) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 03/26/2022 Can't even find a way to save or restore windows or tabs. Badly designed if these features exist.

Soyoko U. (ID: 000000581f02da06) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 02/08/2022 The usability of the extension is fine enough, but I've lost my saved window after exiting Chrome multiple times now. I'm not sure why, but it might be to do with fixed tabs, which you also don't seem to be able to send over tabs to using the right click menu.
