P N (ID: 000000b41c234e44) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 11/03/2020 It's cool to see all my tabs in a grid view, very easy to jump to a given tab. But it has a great flaw. It doesn't show the title of the tabs above the thumbnail, so when the addon fails to get the thumbnail image, it's impossible to know what is the tab. And even without that, it's needed, as the image doesn't always say all.

Jonny Camilleri (ID: 000000531b0b2b13) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 04/24/2017 This is just what I was looking for. Shame it hasn't been updated in ages. Doesn't seem to work properly on the latest Chrome. Most thumbnails don't have images. Also, it would be nice if they had page titles. Hope the dev will update it one day.
