Aleksandr Kulevich (ID: 000000bba34c7e06) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 08/15/2023 doesn't work "Sort This Window", tried several times on different version the UX is terrible - "Extract This Domain" extracts from all the windows, but not from the current one, so I've lost tracking of all the windows I had

Beau Gunderson (ID: 0000000c07b57a82) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 04/23/2023 No longer works now that Chrome suspends tabs to save memory. This plugin needs to be updated to use the `pendingUrl` attribute of the tab object to get the URL for those tabs. A workaround is to visit every tab so that they are all resident, then use this plugin to sort them. This is annoying if you have hundreds of tabs open, however.

John Lockard (ID: 000000fd989cffc4) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 04/21/2023 I wish it could sort selected tabs. I don't always want *ALL* tabs in my window to be sorted, but only some. For example, I'm shopping and have opened up tabs for all the products I might be interested in, and I'd like to sort only that stores open tabs. Selected the range of tabs and then sort.

Russ Clarke (ID: 00000066f0d2aba0) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 02/13/2023 I'd love to revise my rating to 5* but I have an issue with the way this works in Edge (yeah I know, but I'm trying to earn MS Points!) ... Basically, it just doesn't behave well with vertical tabs, most time I can only get them sorted if I temporarily disable the vertical feature. It also doesn't seem to play nice with tab suspenders like Marvelous Suspender, once a tab has actually been unloaded. That said, I very often have 100's of tabs open and this can be a life saver!
