Ryan Wang (ID: 000000abe1ac8f38) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 09/13/2023 Works almost exactly how I want: save a window in laptop, open that window in desktop, etc. Minimalist and intuitive UI. I just wish there was a way to save groups. For example, suppose I have 10 tabs in a window, 5 grouped as math, 5 grouped as english and save that from my laptop. When I reopen that window in desktop, I get those 10 tabs but lose the math and english groups. It still preserves the order though, and doesn't take much time to group them again.
