Tony Merlino (ID: 000000489c7dbcd3) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 06/08/2023 Has been my go-to for years. It started to crash about a year ago (2022) on my M1 Mac but it has since recovered (must have been a Chrome thing because dev hasn't updated the extension since 2015); back to high performance. UI is sufficient and better than a lot of other tab managers, also intuitive enough for my purposes; easy to update/save/delete sets. I also like that it stores its bookmarks in the Bookmark Manager so it's easy to access and maintain outside of the extension's UI. Recommended.

Samuele gg (ID: 000000b00bfe818f) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 06/03/2023 Molto utile e uno dei migliori provati finora, icona ben visibile sulla barra, interfaccia grafica molto chiara e intuitiva, finora mai avuto problemi di perdita dati; presente un contatore per ogni sessione salvata. Trovo, invece, molto scomoda la funzione esporta/importa sessioni, non è possibile esportare in blocco, ma solo una per volta e in formato .txt, stesso vale per l'importazione. Very useful and one of the best tested so far, clearly visible icon on the bar, very clear and intuitive graphical interface, never had any data loss problems so far; There is a counter for each saved session. On the other hand, I find the export/import session function very inconvenient, it is not possible to export in bulk, but only one at a time and in .txt format, the same goes for importing.
