Pat MySecret (ID: 0000000f565a0b8a) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 10/23/2021 It's mostly a Tab Dumper. If you inadvertently go beyond your limit, it shuts your tab, and you may be left wondering, "what just happened"

MrGhostMark (ID: 00000023673ac643) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 05/25/2021 New chrome update prevents extensions from automatically reopening old tabs. Manually opening from the stack still works.

Jemma Oldman (ID: 00000075c16442ea) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 11/17/2020 I am definitely the type of person that likes to be hyper-organized. So having 18 tabs open on my computer can drive me a little insane sometimes, even though its necessary. This extension is a life-saver. It's so helpful when I'm doing my school work or just working on my personal writing projects at home. It made me do that little happy dance when I first started using it because I was so excited. Could it be improved? Of course. But everything can be improved somehow, and that shouldn't take away from this extension's capabilities. I absolutely love it, and will be using it every day. I highly recommend it for anyone who can be a little disorganized or likes to be a little too organized.

Karsten Johansson (ID: 0000003bceb286e7) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 12/20/2018 What I like: It really lightens the load on my Raspberry Pi. I'm a habitual multi-tab then eventually read kinda guy. It appears a whole lot of people out there are. I like the plugin enough that I started using it on my server as well, which has way more than enough memory and cpu speed without it. What I really *really* want: Why can't I right-click on a URL and send the link directly to stack-tab? It seems like a most obvious feature given what it does already. That's the one and only feature that I see as a glaring omission in this otherwise productive tool.
