cw noway (ID: 000000988e6ee8df) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 01/26/2024 Make the dropdown scroll to and auto-select the current tab In an environment where you have many tabs open, it would be better if your app automatically scrolled to and auto-selected (highlighted) the current tab upon your dropdown opening; like "TabZen" does. This way, if you wanted to quickly close the current tab, you don't have to manually scroll down hundreds of tabs just to perform a simple tab close.

Autumn Krist (ID: 0000004c489ed9b3) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 11/17/2021 Overall, I really like this extension! It saves tabs which is especially great when needing to restart pages. An important note though, when restarting, it doesn't save the windows tabs are in. I have a solid 7 windows with many many tabs and each time I restarted, I had to manually organize the tabs. It was somewhat laggy but a worthy price to pay to save my 100 tabs!
