francois dubois (ID: 0000002e30cbf0cc) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/16/2023 I've used this off and on and found it to be wonderful. Unfortunately, with Chrome 118 update, the ability to use a local file as a new tab page no longer seems to work. Thanks for your help!

Sergio Lanzone (ID: 00000090160c75c8) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 09/26/2023 I liked it much, much more when it didn't require copy & paste permission. I can't read the code but even if it's now harmful, once the permission is granted the developer could always change its behaviour in any future update. What a shame, I found it very useful. Please remove c&p requirement!

Charaf Bokhabrine (ID: 0000004252cb8fa8) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/23/2023 Really helps to get new default tab in opera! Thank you man! I wanted that bonjour thing but couldn't find how.

Jessi “Jela Miraj” Cady (ID: 0000001f5143cf63) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 07/29/2023 Helps me use the new tab I want more reliably on opera. Does this addon really need access to copy and paste permissions when it just redirects? hopefully not & I would like to know...

Krisztina Panczel (Krissy) (ID: 000000b654486ab0) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 05/16/2023 I accidentally found this extension by someone's mention on another page and now I am able to use Tab for a Cause on Opera GX, and all the other features are super useful as well! It made me so happy, thank you for making this!
