Borys Koreniev (ID: 000000cae5870729) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 07/08/2022 I wish blank tabs were smaller, but probably that's not an easy task. A really clean and simple extension. Thank you Tyler!

Emiliano De los Reyes (ID: 000000d0390722d2) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 07/04/2022 It would be better to be able to have the normal google page instead of a blank space, could be an option that could be turned on. Other than that, the extension does what it says, and helps keep things organized.

Yi ‌ (ID: 000000034ae69995) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 01/24/2020 It does its job well, however when working with Chrome in low-light settings or at night this extension could really use a dark mode.
