- (2024-11-09) Mathieu Gentile: Coming from TreeStyleTab on Firefox, your extensions appears to be very nice. Is it possible to move the tree to the left of the screen? Update: I found one can do this by changing the Chrome Side Panel setting.
- (2024-08-04) David Lewis: Hallelujah -- a nice, simple, vertical tab manager in a side panel. Doesn't try to be a Swiss Army Knife. OK to add features, but please take care not to mess up the beautiful simplicity. I've been waiting for this for years -- what I need to finally leave Firefox (RIP!),

- (2024-04-22) Aaron Iba: This is my favorite of all the chrome "tabs in the side panel" extensions. Especially when I learned that one can go into "manage extensions" and assign a keyboard shortcut to open/close this side extension. One opportunity for improvement, I think, would be to do more for hierarchical organization. For example, having an expand/collapse button next to parent tabs that show/hide their children. Also, supporting more than 1 level of hierarchy. Firefox's "Tree Style Tab" would be the gold standard for this. But I think this extension is really close! Thank you for making this!
- (2024-03-20) Charles Shopsin: This is fantastic! The one thing I really miss from my previous tab manager is the ability to set a keyboard shortcut to go to the extension with the search box selected. That way you can hit the hotkey and just start typing the name of the tab you want. Thanks!
- (2024-03-17) Steven Dickens: It has potential. It beautifully displays all tabs within each window in side bar. The search function works great! However, here are my issues: (1) there are no instructions. One has to guess what odd looking icons mean. Press a diagonal down arrow and all my tabs collapse in that one window under one of the tabs... odd. I do it again to another window and it simply moves to the bottom of the list and all tabs remain intact. Can't figure it out. (2) There does not appear to be any way to name the Windows containing a group of tabs! (3) You cannot organize tabs by dragging and dropping the between windows. (4) There is no way that I can figure to collapse all tabs within a window in the sidebar. These added functions, coupled with clear instructions would render it 5 stars.
- (2024-02-09) Bob Therina: This sidebar tab manager is great! I love that it nests tabs under others and the ease with which grouped tabs can be arranged and viewed at a glance. I would like to see the ability to have it on the left side, but I am not complaining. This is awesome!
- (2024-01-02) John T Huber: As mentioned before, thisisi by far the best sidebar tab manager I've tried. Any change of open sourcing it so we can all help out? I'd imagine most people that want side bar tabs are developers anyways and I'm sure we'd be able to help out. Taking firefox as an example, TST and sideberry and both open source and I know it can be a daunting thing but it also looks great on a resume. I'd be willing to help at least, I'm sure many other will too. Feel free to get in touch if so, I'd be happy to help in whatever way I can. (Hopefully I didn't just mist the github link somewhere)
- (2023-12-18) AA0010: I love it! It is currently the best side panel tab for Chrome! I would just wish for a drag-and-drop tab nesting if possible, as the other reviewer (Zhou Dong) mentioned.
- (2023-11-18) Zion Yang: Best among all side panel tab managers
- (2023-11-09) Zhou Dong: * Nice, easy, most important: very clear. * Love the compatibility of chrome builtin tab-groups. * feature suggestion: support drag & drop to move the tabs, to change tab position, and into / out of a tab group. * feature suggestion: during search, explicitly show which part is 'history'. * Because that time I used search in tabs, after clicked a tab in search result several times, it does not switch to that existing tab, but to keep opening new instances of it. And at last I realized it was opening from history which caused it.
