André Dock (ID: 0000000e21f9b7a6) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 06/10/2023 Not embedded, might need perfection, but no bugs at all, very good and simple! One of the best of the kind.

Samuele gg (ID: 000000b00bfe818f) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 06/03/2023 Utile per modificare il titolo e il colore del gruppo scheda e per aggiungere una nuova scheda in un gruppo, assente un contatore delle schede in ogni gruppo e icona nella barra non visibile con tema dark applicato, assente modalità light. Useful to change the title and color of the tab group and to add a new tab in a group, absent a tab counter in each group and icon in the tray not visible with dark theme applied, absent light mode.
