oops os (ID: 0000008794e58e14) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 04/18/2023 Looks promising but (for me) currently lacking some features. 1. Import, export & backup of workspaces/links 2. Search across all workspaces for a link (rather than having to go into each workspace individually and search) 3. I would prefer the use of the new tab for any extension to be optional; there doesn't seem to be any way to use this extension while keeping the new tab for some other function. And alongside this, a keyboard shortcut to open the Blixem interface. 4. Save multiple tabs to a workspace by selecting the tabs you want to save and clicking the icon without opening the Blixem interace. Currently this only saves the active tab. In summary, this extension doesn't do what I need it to do right now, but what it does, it does well, and I'll be keeping an eye on it as it develops. It would be nice if the extension website had a more extensive FAQ, and a roadmap for development.

Josh Kasap (ID: 000000d0e96cb03b) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 04/17/2023 Could be great but there are a few issues. The first and biggest issues is security concerns. Why on earth does this extension have access to the following. 1. Personally identifiable information 2, Financial and payment information For example: transactions, credit card numbers, credit ratings, financial statements, or payment history 3. Authentication information For example: passwords, credentials, security question, or personal identification number (PIN) 4.User Activity For example: network monitoring, clicks, mouse position, scroll, or keystroke logging 5.Website content This extension's permissions seem designed to steal personal and financial info. As for functionality of the actual extension, When saving a workspace it does not save the tab group. Instead it puts all tabs of a workspace under a single tab group called section 1 by default. You can manually create multiple sections but the fact that this isn't done by default is annoying. Furthermore tabgroups/sections are randomly colored. So I'm out of luck if I have a youtube tabgroup that i want colored red because the extension will give it a random color. When I open a workspace i would like the option to open in the current window or open in a new window. When I open a workspace I want the workspace to dynamically be updated if i add or remove tabs. ATM it only seems to save tabs that are manually added to the workspace via the dashboard. When opening a workspace the extension doesn't seem to actually recognize a window as a workspace window. It's just opening a window with the specific tabs you saved to the workspace. This make the workspaces work more like starting template for browsing sessions instead of an actual workspace. No way to know if a workspace is already opened. If I have many windows open I might accidently open a workspace that is already open.

色无痕 (ID: 000000fc25fe098e) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 01/15/2023 just can't open correctly on my chrome

Kent Macaraig (ID: 0000009bfdd88770) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 01/14/2023 This tab manager has a beautiful user interface, tons of functionality, and is highly user-friendly. contains every functionality a tab manager ought to have. Given its extensive feature set and low cost, I can imagine this Chrome extension competing with some of the well-known tab managers, such as Workona. With the right promotion, this may potentially reveal the majority of extensions. Occasionally, if I interact with a button, such as the "Create new workspace" or "Delete workspace" buttons, I have to hit the "undo" button first in order to receive the desired outcome. This is a tiny problem that I've discovered, although not a significant setback.

SiemprePalante77 (ID: 000000680d28adaf) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/04/2022 Great extension. Loving it so far. I was using TabCloud for tab backup, but it stopped working correctly. And, I was also using InfiniteDashboard for the new tab page. This extension so far combines those too. The UI is great too. I haven't delved too deep into it yet, since I've only installed it today but I think it's going to remain in my toolkit.
