Mark Hutchison (ID: 0000009baccdaeab) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 02/27/2024 Does what it says on the tin. Simple; just works. ## Edit: looks like latest chrome with tab groups breaks this extension

Ivan Baydanutsa (ID: 000000b819820f11) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 02/26/2024 I really love this extension but it stopped working reliably after recent Chrome update (Version 122.0.6261.69 (Official Build) (arm64)) on my Mac. Can you guys please fix it? 🙏

David Best (ID: 000000fcc962a212) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/28/2023 This app is excellent! It's obviously very simple but it's probably one of the most simple of its kind. I use Alt +Q multiple times a day. It makes chrome easy to use fluidly and naturally. I truly have no complaints about its functionality.

Scott Lawrence (ID: 000000487d00bef4) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 07/19/2023 Excellent minimalist utility that I have used for years now. Never once had an issue with it. Thanks for the great tool!

Tomas Glatz (ID: 000000535d55eb70) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 06/27/2023 Very simple and useful, especially when you have many tabs open and only 1 monitor. I have 3, but use it anyway. It spared me much time and nerves. Surely worth 1 USD.
