- (2022-12-27) Teodor Dimitrov: Works great!
- (2022-11-21) Cindy Bahl (Cindy): Just tried it out. Wow. It went weird and acknowledged it was having issues. But the only way I could totally undo and stop this extension was by uninstalling it. Disappointed.
- (2022-11-19) James Davies: Highly recommended. I've been testing this extension for a few months now. Had a few bugs initially but they were quickly resolved and its worked perfectly ever since. Saves me loads of timen & enables me to easily work with large numbers of tabs in multiple windows. I've tested numerous other bookmark/tab/workspace managers and will be sticking with this one. Only suggestion for improvement would be ability to open a URL straight from a list of bookmarks, rather than having to click on the individual bookmark and then click again to open the URL
- (2022-11-12) Kamen Dochev: Works great. All the features look great and minimalistic. Many options to customize it. The calendar could be a bit more useful.
- (2022-11-12) Amber Rose: I like this extension so far. The rounded effect is a bit buggy, but I prefer the modern. I left off a star because there's room for growth. I'm really not a fan of the organization of google calendar events on new tab home page. It's visually appealing but confusing for someone who wants to work and see my events quickly. Consider more uniform alignment rather than back and forth on day/time and event name.
- (2022-09-30) Moni Alex: I'm very happy with this extension. It is easy to use and works excellent! I like the bookmarks and calendar features best, recommend it to everyone!
- (2022-09-20) Yuliana Yovova: I love it! I've tried many other extentions like onetab and momentum but there's always something missing.. This one's awesome, it has everything I need and really helps me navigate through my tabs and bookmarks while keeping my new tabs pretty at the same time. You just get the best of both worlds. I also like that I can customize EVERYTHING so it looks exactly the way I want it to!
- (2022-09-20) Matthew Christensen: Seemed really buggy and always crashed on me. Very little documentation, would have appreciated a little "this is how you set it up and use it" page on the website or something.
- (2022-07-22) Lyubomir: Works great!
- (2022-07-16) borislav marinov: Works great, using it every day! I like it :)
- (2022-07-15) Валентина Латинска: This is a perfect extension to organize my links for work! Recommend it to all
- (2022-07-10) Ester Cabrera: so far, so good! uh..would just be cool to have a "reopen closed tab[s]" button cuz uh, O_O yeah...that happened ! (for some reason I could only restore about half my tabs with google's version on the feature..go figure :S I'll lurk my history later but food for thought, maybe?) looks great btw! I'm totally here for it ^__^ regarding looks tho: would be cool/even better to have another panel just like the one that features the bookmarks but instead, for our tabs! would be way more aesthetically pleasing while doing any organizing or sorting :)) oOooh, and this one's kind of a big one for me..would LOVE is there was a tab saving feature..basically like OneTab..While I use OneTab, it/Chrome bugged out on me once and I kinda panicked so now I'm looking for alternatives..kinda how I stumbled across this haha.. anyway! all just some friendly suggestions! ^__^

- (2022-06-19) Dilyan Peykov: good job, keep going!
- (2022-05-31) L Rellim: Suddenly it's asking for full control of the tabs, no can do, this is just recently, will uninstall.
- (2022-05-28) Riia Jarvenpaa: I keep looks for methods to keep my tabs in control, and this looks promising.
