PaPa Man (ID: 000000b5fbdc5d0f) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 04/06/2018 I thought this was gone. For those who don't know, this will sync your tabs to your google account. I like onetab, too, but I can't tell you how often a computer will go down and for some reason all of your onetabs are lost. Dog ear takes the extra step of backing up to your google account. Of course you are establishing trust for this extension to access your account. Of course you are trusting all extensions and google's ability to limit their capabilities. Security bugs never exist :D. Anyway, I like this better than any of the similar products. I don't know why only 12 reviews show up, I've used it for a couple of years.

Sam (ID: 00000061c59463a1) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 01/18/2018 Decent app; it's basically an easier, more convenient way to bookmark stuff. Does exactly what it claims to do. But, can be a bit buggy. Would recommend.
