John Maia (ID: 000000aa83be2121) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 02/07/2021 Way too invasive. Collects your email address to even use the extension.

Om Khandekar (ID: 000000781a8e6128) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 01/14/2021 Flow has really helped me out in my personal and professional life, and it has especially been great at helping me keep the two organized. Ever since I started using flow, I've been able to switch quickly between different trains of thoughts and it's let me stay organized no matter what the last minute ask is. Highly recommend to anyone who is struggling with browser organization!

Vivien Sin (ID: 000000142f509a39) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 12/01/2020 I'm one of those folks who have 100+ tabs open across multiple windows. It's been significantly better after installing Flow - the visual compartmentalization really helps, as well as being able to see all the pages in tab so you're not guessing from a bunch of logos. Looking forward for more features to help make tab management a productive and delightful experience!

Michael Pierre (ID: 0000005cd01a17f5) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 11/17/2020 I am such a scatter brain so this extension is super helpful! There are definitely some tweaks that can be made but overall this will truly have a positive impact on my life!
