The Next Generation Session Manager; A Really Working Too Many Open Tabs Solution; And Your Browsing Notebook.

Image from store Tabs Outliner
Description from store Tabs Outliner is a fusion of tabs manager, session manager and an tree like personal information organizer. It’s also embed instruments that greatly help reduce open tabs count by making possible easily annotate and close-save open windows and tabs in their original context. And what’s more important - allow then working with there saved tabs practically in the same way as with open ones, thus greatly reducing resources usage. It also implements one of the best ways to handle crashed sessions - an unfortunate reality for users with a habit of accumulating hundreds of open tabs. = FEATURES AND CAPABILITIES = ☀ Complete Overview of all your open and saved tabs and windows, along with custom added notes and marks. ☀ Flexible and fully editable by Drag and Drop Tree - everything can be easily organized in logical hierarchies and delimited groups; unlike in other similar tools every node can be a parent for any other node, all items can be freely reordered to specify priority or importance. And all of this can be done not only with somewhere saved links - but with open tabs and windows! ☀ Close and save - just in one click you can preserve “in place” any tab or window in their original context and surrounding in the Tree. Saved windows and tabs can be freely mixed with those that are open. And as Tabs Outliner window is often active all the time, because it’s enormously useful to observe all currently active items, things saved in it does not fall out of the focus, as this often happen with other tools that save everything in some separate lists, so the actual action to close-save something to free resources become mentally much ease and really accomplished. ☀ Innovative Tabs Outlining And Organizing Features – you will be able annotate windows and tabs, add comments to them, summary of main ideas, to-do items. Text notes can be easily added in the Tree directly from web pages, just by Drag and Drop. ☀ Tree Style Tab feature - those who remember famous Firefox plugin with the same name immediately recognize inspired by it very useful way to relate tabs to one another. This feature relates newly opened tabs to the tab from which they were opened, which automatically builds strong context for all items and nicely visualize tabs relations. ☀ Crash Resistance and Restore Feature Done Right - no more hassles after browser crash or sudden system restart. No more being forced to all or nothing choice, like with the default Chrome crash restoration: to lose all of these “remind me of something” tabs, or to have again a completely unresponsive PC, if you load all of them back. This extension makes it possible to reopen only windows you need NOW, or even some individual tabs inside them, without losing others. Everything will be available to reopen anytime you decide and in the same context and place where they were crashed without consuming any resources, along with newly created tabs, as if you simply continue your session without any crash. ☀ Tabs List Exporter - easily export and share the annotated list of your tabs through Google Doc, Word, Evernote, email or some messenger. Hierarchies of windows can be exported individually simply by Drag & Drop. Or the whole tree can be saved as HTML file (by Ctrl-S in the main window). ☀ One Click Procrastination Stopper - Close-Save All currently open windows and tabs just in one click! Without losing all of the context and structure. Regain your attention and your PC responsiveness - momentary become ready again for some new work. = PAID FEATURES= Everything mentioned above can be used absolutely for free, but to support project there are some additional paid features that can be indefinitely enabled for a small one-time payment and an unobtrusive banner that show up once in few weeks to remind about their existence: ☀ Keyboard Shortcuts and Clipboard support which enables whole new dimension and speed for tree manipulations and editing by pro users. ☀ Access to frequent local backups that are saved every few minutes for restoring accidental edits or deletions or to review latest changes. ☀ Automatic Daily Backups to your Google Drive. Not only this secure your data this also enables possibilities to access your tree remotely from some other PC. This paid features are completely optional and application can be effectively used without enabling them. In additional that the tree is constantly save all changes locally, backups and data exports can be done manually at any time. It’s not required to pay anything for this.

  • (2025-06-30) gina jota googlemail: ok ok :-)
  • (2025-06-27) Shadenium: Lost all my saved tabs several times. Now is the 3rd time since 2017. Just blank window again. I can't take it anymore. They also removed "Don't create tree structure" option. I don't want tree structure, bring the option back if you ever plan on working on this extension again.
  • (2025-06-25) Эйрик Торвальдссон: Great idea but poor execution. I just did to "save and close" how the manual suggested and when I tried to open the window again it cloned half of my tabs to open them twice and opened closed tabs too.
  • (2025-05-30) Charles LaBrec: This extension has one of THE best features of any extension out there, to the point where I can't imagine switching browsers to one that won't support it. However, my score reflects that it seems to have fallen out of active support and updates, and many features no longer work as well as they did--in fact, a number no longer have a settings toggle for them like they used to before last year's (somewhat forced by Google) update. Two or so years ago, I'd have given it 4/5 stars. Backups (I'm a paid user) have a number of issues. The "tag" you can put on backups seem to be stuck to a value I used to use on a separate computer, so changing it does not change the tag on new backups. This means I can't distinguish between backups from a number of other systems I use. I had to resort to putting a label in the my tree to identify it. They also no longer seem to backup locally on any regular schedule. Also, when viewing a backup, groups cannot be expanded or collapsed. Luckily, I can drag to the active outliner window though. Next, the option to not tree out tabs but just store linearly under a window is gone. As well as the option to restore windows and the outliner window sizes and locations. I've also noticed that after restarting a system after hibernation, the old outliner window goes unresponsive, and a new one will usually open automatically, in the wrong location and size that is. These are the biggest issues I've had since the update almost a year ago, and they do significantly get in my way, which is why I have downrated the extension. Restoring the above to what it was before would restore my rating to its former value. Somewhat related to the lack of support is that my license got corrupted once a couple/few years ago, and I couldn't find the email with my license, so I was stuck. I had to buy a new one because I never got any response from the author. And on the issue of paid licences, you should note that a license is tied to a given user profile, so if you use multiple user profiles for yourself (e.g., I have a "home" and "work" profile), if you want to get paid features, you have to pay for each one. One QoL addition I'd like to see, if this ever goes back into active updating, is that it would be nice if I could open a new window under a group using a kbd shortcut or some other mechanism. Right now, to do so you have to open the window normally, which puts it at the end of the outliner list, then drag it up and into the group you want. For a short list, this is fine, but it's tedious when you have a very long list of groups and windows under them. Another QoL addition is one I encounter at work a lot since we use an SSO system that is less than great. So I open a window and don't noticed that some tabs have redirected to the SSO page (or sometimes even redirect to an error page). If I don't login to that page quick enough, that page because useless since it won't let me refresh to try again. And since it was a redirect, there no page history to go back to (and even if there was, technically the page I was on is no longer the one I'd go back to since it was a redirect. I end up having to use a new window to SSO login, then restore the window/group from an outliner backup. It would be nice if outliner could somehow save some history itself when it sees a redirect so I could go "back" from that history. While I my issues here are really more due to the really poor SSO implementation at work, if outliner could mitigate this, that would be an almost instant 5* rating :)
  • (2025-05-23) Troy Acott: I love Tabs Outliner, super useful for complex nested trees full of many windows and huge numbers of tabs. Easily close and reopen whole windows with all their tabs, it's an incredible bookmarking storage and window/tab navigation system. Only problems are can't do backups in Brave because it won't let you pay for a license in Brave, and you have to close all windows before rebooting the browser or it will randomly organize your whole tree structure upon reopening things as the browser reloads. Let me charge a card without logging into Chrome when I'm in the Brave browser, or let me transfer my paid license some other way from Chrome.
  • (2025-05-14) Joe Arguedas: brilliant. Cannot live without it.
  • (2025-04-22) bluelovers ka: hope can support chrome tab groups
  • (2025-04-12) Damien Theo: I can't re-open my tabs or window with double click. This is one of the basic functions I need and it doesn't work. Sometimes it would but I couldn't figure if I had to have the cursor positioned a specific location or what the trick was. Led to cursing at the computer and that's unnacceptable. Holding Ctrl or Shift didn't work either. Really disappointing because the organization options are great.
  • (2025-04-07) Mike S: DO NOT GET THIS EXTENSION! It no longer works and all those saved tabs over the years appear to be gone. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME!
  • (2025-03-29) Eric Shields: Sadly, this extension is no longer maintained. The author is in Ukraine, as I understand it, and thus I'm sure this is VERY low on their current priority list. It is an incredible tool! Unfortunately, more recent updates to Chromium (I use Brave) have broken much of the interface and have, in some cases, resulted in a total loss of tabs. I wish I'd known that I could recover the JSON, as another reviewer described! What I am doing, however, is slowly working on a local copy of the extension where I "fix" the most broken bits and enable both the ability to actually buy it (which I've been trying to do for years, lol) and the connection to Google Drive for backups. If I can get it fairly stable, I may post it to the store as a fan update.
  • (2025-03-27) Hebert Caballero: Good extension, but, sadly, it is not evolving with the times. 1) It is a good way to keep a record of the past, beyond the default browser history, but now that method feels outdated. 2) It becomes hard to maintain over time. 3) It makes your system slow as it keeps collecting and collecting stuff. 4) It requires you to use Chrome for the paid features, cannot be done in other chrome-like browsers. 5) When it fails, you lose your tree. Period.
  • (2025-03-25) Charlie: No longer works and this extension doesn't seem to be maintained by the dev anymore. I had saved thousands of tabs and the UI is just a blank page now. There doesn't seem to be a way to restore the saved pages. Don't get this extension unless you are prepared to lose everything you saved.
  • (2025-03-11) Brandon: Please update the extension I lost the majority of my tabs because I couldn't backup due to using Brave browser and now it doesn't load at all with new manifest v3. PLEASE FIX.
  • (2025-02-25) Todd A: This has been, and still is for me, a great app. For those of you wondering where the developer is, he is from Ukraine. I haven't seen a post from him in a very long time
  • (2025-02-12) Onkel Morra: UI looks like a 90s website and most of the useful features are locked behind a paywall.
  • (2025-02-11) Joel Perry: I have always told everyone to use Tabs Outliner, I cannot even recall how long I've used it. I can't recommend it enough. please donate so it doesn't go away! (I am not affiliated with, nor even know who the author is.) If you have never used it before, the short version is that Chrome retains every tab you have open when you close a window without closing the tabs one by one, or reboot with chrome running. Tabs Outliner allows you to see that "cache" of webpages, rename them, organize them, close them and reopen them later and even move them to different chrome windows. Some of this functionality is built into chrome, but this extension puts it all in one web page to easily view every page you have open and manage them as a group or separately. With everything that can be done in a web page now, effective utilization of Tabs Outliner will allow you to manage your open (and closed) webpages to minimize performance issues and optimize your time, by removing tabs you don't need now. but keeping them ready to be reopened exactly as they were when you need them.
  • (2025-02-08) David Matten: current review (updated Feb 2025): This extension is now seriously broken. I have been using the Paid version for 10y. Now the Tabs window goes stale, unable to reopen suspended tabs. You have to kill and reopen the tabs window. And left behind are handfuls of duplicate ghost tabs within the same tree. I can't imagine anyone new paying for it in this state. I give it two stars only because it has some [diminished] utility to me because I know how to manage around the new bugs. But a new user would just uninstall it. It's a pity if the project is truly abandoned. It was great while it worked. If the publisher doesn't want to maintain it anymore, hopefully they release it so it can become community maintained. old review (2015): exceptionally useful, especially for searching tabs & avoiding bookmark hell

  • (2025-02-06) CL Chambers: I've used and loved Tabs Outliner for years, but a few days ago, for no reason at all, I lost everything. Years of saved tabs, and hundreds of important ones for every aspect of my life...all because I was apparently naive enough to assume that I didn't have to *manually* save my sessions on my own to some separate drive as an html file for a more solid safety net, since avoiding such a mundane process was precisely WHY I got a tab manager extension in the first place. What's the point of having a tab manager that doesn't truly "save" and back up your tabs? Unless you pay for it suddenly when it was a free extension at the start, that is. Silly me, I wasn't aware of this at all because the UI layout design informing a user of this in both the Tab Outliner window itself and where the "extension options" link goes are both confusing, convoluted car crashes to look at and an ADHD person's worst nightmare. So my eyes have literally just blocked the massive "explanation" text out for YEARS after skimming it once at the very start, back when it was still free. And so of course I never read any of the new "fine" print (ie. same scrolling wall of text that still hurts to look at for too long) about the paid features introduced for actual reliable backing of your data. But it also just doesn't make sense. Nothing at all unusual happened prior to this loss of years worth of tabs--no hard disk fail, nothing. I have no idea why this happened, as there's no rhyme or reason to it doing this when it worked perfectly all this time--I simply momentarily exited the tabs outliner window itself for a moment, but when I clicked on its shortcut that I keep next to my browser tab in chrome...everything was just gone. Everything. Where did my tabs go, when my browser didn't even crash? And I can't find any way to contact anyone for help--even for a real confirmation that no recovery is possible. So I feel stuck in limbo not quite knowing if everything is gone forever or not, and nervous to troubleshoot in case I end up causing something irreversible where there was a chance for recover data. I can't seem to find any answer from the developer online that isn't last dated around 11 years ago and yet informing other people who experienced the same sudden loss of data with just an "sorry, should have saved it manually, oh well." Has the developer been involved with it in any way since, especially if this was an issue other people experienced too? If there's truly no solution for this, and given what it's done to my years of data out of nowhere, I can't use this extension nor recommend it to anyone anymore, even though I was a truly avid proponent using it everyday for years...and despite willing to have paid for the "backup safety" upgrade, had my eyes been able to digest this extension's clipart and bullet pointed "table of contents".
  • (2025-02-05) Walt Mecleary: I have been using for at least 7 years - paid version, I bought early on to hopefully keep the project going. It saves me tons of time for managing development web teams. I have many nodes setup, some are my permanent "go to" everyday nodes for my tickets and project management, some for ongoing projects that might be temporary, some for our company internal documents. As far as people say it is not working, I am using on mac with Chrome Version 132.0.6834.160 (Official Build) (x86_64) - Feb 2025 - Still works for me. I think there is a free version - see if it works for you or maybe there is an extension conflict, I keep my extensions to a minimum these days. If it works think about supporting the project and backing up your nodes to the cloud. You have to take the time and get used to using it. It is not without a learning curve. There is a proper shutdown method I use, not sure if it has been addressed. I make sure to close each browser manually before shutting down Chrome. Else if you shutdown chrome with all browsers open when you reopen tabs outliner will say (tab crashed on date) next to the node next time you start Chrome - I also try to remove un-needed tabs in my everyday nodes, else they can get pretty deep fairly quickly. With a higher monitor resolutions I always have the tabs outliner tab set real narrow to the far left of one of my screens, when I need to get to one of our servers I go to the node I created for that server(no need to remember the IP address, then I can can quickly open up My Zoho node to check my teams tickets. If I need to update our company documents I open My G-Docs node. Easy Peasy. No more bookmarks to scroll though. I do still bookmark the occasion site, more for personal items. And when I do research on any topic I save the browser session with all the tabs as a node if I want to get back to researching that topic or need to reference that research later I have it. And the pro version backups to my Google Drive. I think it is brilliant. The little UI interface looks a bit dated.... but form follows function in my book. It works for me, your mileage may vary....
  • (2025-01-31) AAA3BR: I'm testing it yet, but in this few days my first impression is very good.
  • (2025-01-23) Paul Dowsett: I paid for this extension, because I loved it. Sadly, it's currently broken, and seems unmaintained. When I click on the Tabs Outliner (TO) icon in the toolbar, the window appears empty, apart from the TO icons at the bottom.
  • (2025-01-13) Jeff Mercado: tldr; extension is mostly abandoned at this point, but you can recover your saved data in full Unfortunately, it seems like neglect is preventing this extension from being truly the greatest extension. The extension has mostly been coasting for years on being a great tool and hasn't made any serious evolutions since. If it hasn't reached you yet, the more recent chrome updates effectively breaks this extension completely and I have no confidence this will be fixed. Apparently in my case, slowly features (such as local backups and Google drive backups) have been failing. Last drive backup goes back a year, local backup ~6 months... so it seems all is lost and the UI still doesn't load up. Looking at the extension code, it looks like it was refactored for manifest v3, but it's unclear to me how the update broke it. I'd suggest looking for other ways to manage your tabs from now on. With that said, if you are a current user and need to recover your tabs, the backups are a good start, but depending on when it broke for you, it might not be current. You can however recover the tree state as json and you can pick through that. Fortunately it will be in local storage under the key: onViewClose_lastSessionSnapshot 1. Open the extension (it will be blank) 2. Press F12 to open devtools 3. In the console tab, make sure the context (the dropdown on the top left) is set to "top" 4. Enter the command: console.log(localStorage.getItem('onViewClose_lastSessionSnapshot')) This will dump the json (which should be significantly large) to the console which you can copy to file and recover your data.
  • (2025-01-10) M A: It has a very good data model even though the UI looks clunky. If the developer teams with a UI designer and a good growth lead, this can be turned into a significant product with a ton of revenue I am sure. Only request to the developer for now is to keep it updated as chrome changes versions and code standards.
  • (2025-01-10) Uthai Thani: A FIX.... I created a small partial fix for the error that suspended tabs / windows cannot be reopened. You can see the error I got below. If you have the same error in order to (kind of) fix you need to do the following... 1. open the 'Manage Extensions' page and go to the tabs outliner extension 2. click on the 'developer mode' at the top right 3. click on the 'Inspect views service worker' which appeared in the tabs outliner extension box , this will open a DevTools window. 4. Go to 'Sources' and find using ctrl+F the following line of code (currently it is on line 1070 but it might change) - chrome.windows.create(createProperties, restoreSavedWinCreationDone); 5. Replace it with the following code: try { chrome.windows.create(createProperties, restoreSavedWinCreationDone); } catch(error) { createProperties.left = 0; createProperties.width = 1000; chrome.windows.create(createProperties, restoreSavedWinCreationDone); } 6. Press ctrl+S to save. 7. Now try to open old suspended tabs and windows (They might not open at the size and locations they used to before) I hope that helped. Good luck! ------------ 3/10/24 Still having issue with opening tabs and windows, probably problems with the multiple display calculations. ------------ Any fixes of the following error expected and when? still can't recover suspended tabs. when trying to open suspended tabs / windows, I keep getting: "Error handling response: TypeError: Error in invocation of windows.create(optional object createData, optional function callback): Error at parameter 'createData': Error at property 'width': Value must be at least 0. at chrome-extension://eggkanocgddhmamlbiijnphhppkpkmkl/tree/js/treemodel.js:1070:32" Also after the beginning of the issues I backed up the chrome profiles just in case, and actually the extension data disappeared. so need to recover, but can't find in the profiles where are all the extension tabs are kept. Nice extension but after the update few weeks ago there were issues, and even after the update two days ago there are errors
  • (2025-01-02) Jennifer Winer: I've used Tabs Outliner every day for years. It's a fantastic way to save tabs across time & multiple devices. I use it to save state on the many different projects I'm working on at the same time. It breaks at least once a year, and the developer doesn't do a great job of communicating issues or helping folks fix things. But, I've always found a way to fix it, so if you're somewhat technical you should be able to fix it. Eventually. Probably. YMMV? Overall, I love this extension and would personally rate it 5 stars. It's buggy, and occasionally stops working, but for a reasonable one time fee it's had quite a positive impact on my life.
  • (2024-12-17) Functional Health Team: I've been using this extension for nearly 10 years. I paid early on supporting the develop because it is extremely useful. This vey low review is because the developer has neglected to respond to questions I have submitted for support from them, even though I can see that they viewed the emails. They are simply choosing not to support me and I find this unacceptable.
  • (2024-12-13) Eric: Edit 2: ONCE AGAIN, EVERYTHING LOST. BACKUP DOES NOT WORK. NOTHING. DEVELOPER HAS DELETED THE ONLY DISCUSSION GROUP WITH PEOPLE WHO HAVE HELPED EACH OTHER IN THE PAST. NEVER REPLIES TO EMAILS. CORRUPT BEYOND REASON. AVOID THIS EXTENSION AT ALL COSTS. ONCE REGULAR USER NOW WILL NOT TOUCH WITH TEN FOOT POLE. YOU WILL, AND I REPEAT, YOU WILL ABSOLUTELY LOSE EVERYTHING IF YOU RELY ON THIS EXTENSION. EDIT: AGAIN, TODAY I LOST EVERYTHING I'VE BEEN SAVING SINCE THE UPDATE. I DID NOT CLOSE ANYTHING. IT'S JUST LOST. ORIGINAL REVIEW: LOST EVERYTHING ON THE UPDATE. YEARS OF MY LIFE AND WORK DELETED. DEVELOPER IS INCOMPETENT BEYOND BELIEF. NEVER EVER USE THIS EXTENSION. I've tried everything that's been suggested by other people here and more, multiple times, yet nothing works. Also, entire windows that seem to be open in tabsoutliner are not open in my browser, and I cannot click any of them. It does nothing. Also, dozens of empty "loading" tabs at the bottom of every window in TO, which cannot be closed, just loading with their circle spinning. Utterly ridiculous. Developer should NEVER have pushed this update if it was so utterly broken. The developer has been MIA for many years since before the war in ukr even began, to the strong dismay of many many people who purchased a license but were repeatedly ignored and never got support. Now all of a sudden when developer may lose money because of the manifest v3 update, he appears out of nowhere. RIGHT. We all know what your true priorities are, Vlad. Thanks for literally nothing. To you people who just want to stop "negativity," please consider how naive you are being. You are not a "miracle," Vlad, you are incompetent and you should refund everyone's money. You should also probably be sued for your incompetence.
  • (2024-12-12) Jace V: I've been using this extension for 10+ years, across multiple browsers. It's fantastic. It's not a glorified tab switcher like so many other extensions are. Tabs Outliner lets you organize tabs and windows that belong to different tasks or research topics, rename anything so you remember what it is and why you saved it, and add notes either as part of a saved tab node or directly to its own node. All of this without the "out of site, out of mind" problem that bookmarks have (or the organizational limits). Read through the options and the help section. (Something the reviewer below me clearly didn't do, since there's an option to change the single/double-click behavior along with an explanation for the default behavior). Yes, browser updates sometimes break extensions, including this one. Blame how Chrome handles local storage, and back up anything important before updating. If you can afford it, the paid version has automatic backups. If not, click the question mark in the extension window to find the help section, where there are directions for manually exporting your tab tree.
  • (2024-12-06) Yahusha ben Moshe EliYahu: I've been a paid user of tabs outliner for.... I forgot how many years now. But apparently this "upgrade" the other day (aug 2024) didn't go as planned or something. I've waited multiple days now, as on one system it shows Nothing except the menu at the bottom. No tabs on the list at all, even the current tabs open. On my other system it shows tabs in the list, some seem to save but others don't. And instead of my system name it shows it as "ffv3" or something close to that. And it looks like this has been happening to a bunch of us from the comments here. Like I said, used it for years. Its a great tool with nothing else that comes near its particular set of features and functionality. Especially when I move back and forth between systems at different locations. But they've had some issues from time to time. One other issue its had is if you're a paid user, and even with it being connected to your google drive/google account, for some reason if you remove/uninstall it from chrome and then reinstall it, you have to pay for it again to get the paid features back. Thought maybe they had fixed that... took a chance to see if that would "fix it" what it was doing this time. Well, it didn't fix it, and it shows the "upgrade now" again... Hope they get both of these issues fixed soon. Lost all my tabs on this system that I'm currently using. -> EDIT: Well another week has passed, they still haven't fixed it. And this computer still wants me to "upgrade to paid"... again. Which I'm not paying for it again, have done so everytime I wiped a computer and reinstalled windows. Or uninstalled/reinstalled chrome. Or uninstalled/reinstalled the app itself. Also had to always pay for it again on each computer I used it on. From here forward, IF they ever get it fixed, I will no longer rely on Tabs Outliner to save important groups/subjects of tabs, especially when it comes to my online work. I'm going to have to try to open each set of tabs on the list, and save them to different folders in chrome bookmarks. Can't afford losing that info, and I need to access those links on my other computer. sad to see what was such a useful tool, go to waste. ----------------- EDIT / UPDATE: Well its nice to know that I can go to my email I got when I paid for Tabs Outliner and click that link to "re-activate" the paid mode. I searched for that email, and found I have bought Tabs Outliner 4 times since 2017. In any case, some saved windows still won't open. I have to open each link in a "new window/last window". Then delete the original window and replace it with the new one. Also machine names/labels does not work, both of my systems at two locations both save the backup file as "FFv3". ----------------- UPDATE 12/6/24 Well it basically works now. But it still won't open/restore windows at times. I have to close Outliner and reopen, then it usually works. Really annoying that FFv3 is what ALL backups are named. Doesn't matter what label I use, or what computer. They are all just FFv3, which means it is hard to keep track of what backup is from which of the computers that I use, Personal, my Work computer (which I own), or my laptop. Really wish they would fix this. I'll bump my rating from 1 star to 2 stars, because it does "mostly" work. But still needs fixed.
  • (2024-12-03) I used to love this extension, but it stopped working some months ago. Double-clicking on a closed tab does nothing. Many other recent reviews also indicate that this extension has died.
  • (2024-12-03) Isaac Lewis: This is really janky and kinda clunky. It's a completely separate window, and one of the really annoying parts is, you have to double click on the tab you want to get it to open. I mean, it works in the most basic sense, but I get the feeling whoever made this either isn't comfortable with the tools they used to make this, or they fully lack any understanding of how or why different people might want to use tab trees. Even something as basic as integrating the window into Chrome isn't done.
  • (2024-12-02) Paul Edison: I've used Tabs Outliner for a while and really appreciate its unique approach to organizing and managing tabs. The tree-style structure is incredibly helpful for keeping everything in order, especially for heavy tab users. However, it seems like the extension hasn't been updated in a while, and I’ve run into occasional bugs. Recently, I started exploring VertiTab as an alternative. It also supports tree-style tabs, but with additional features like cloud sync and automated snapshots, which have been a game-changer for me. I’d still recommend Tabs Outliner for anyone looking for an innovative way to manage tabs, but it’s worth checking out VertiTab if you’re looking for something actively maintained.
  • (2024-12-01) Jondeir Junior: amazing! please keep it up, it's just amazing!
  • (2024-11-21) Anna-Devo: Not working anymore on MacOS (Sequoia)
  • (2024-11-16) Oliver Lewis: Does not open tabs now
  • (2024-11-13) Apekiller: BROKEN. It used to work, but now it just opens an empty window without any saved sessions at all. There is NOTHING in the window except for the background and small panel at the bottom. Now it is completely useless.
  • (2024-11-10) Paul Alcorn: This app has been UPDATED and Fixed! Finally! It is so amazing now, even better than it was back when it was brand new. Give it a shot!
  • (2024-11-08) Daniel Weiss: Still working for me with no problem. NOTE: I am using Brave which is a Chrome offshoot that supports all the same plugins but doesn't track you like Chrome does. You can import all bookmarks and settings from Chrome and it works just as well. This plugin still works great (on the free version) in Brave as it has for me the last 10 years.

  • (2024-11-01) Igor “IverCold” Verner: UPD: Было 5 звёзд, но расширение перестало корректно работать, а разработчик перестал отвечать на какие-либо письма.
  • (2024-10-27) Farhana T: I noticed this extension in no longer working due to Google update. Here is how I retrieved my saved extensions I clicked the tab outliner extension. A dark page turned up with nothing but a panel of icons at the very bottom I scrolled to the bottom and clicked the settings button. This opened up a popup window called Tab Outliner Options I clicked on the Backup tab At the very top you can see a window with a list of Google Drive backups For me the last Google Drive backup was on Oct 14th I clicked view on the Oct 14th backup This opened up the link tree with all the links you ever had The links don't work if you click on them, but if you right click and open link in a new tab, you can still visit the link So not ideal, but still not a total loss. I'm going to miss tab outliner. Hope this helps!
  • (2024-10-26) Annathesa Darksbane: Once integral to me, now it doesn't really work. Constantly crashes and has to be completely reinstalled, losing everything. Dev also took down the only discussion group with workarounds and alternatives, so that's fun.
  • (2024-10-25) soopani hedge: suddenly it stopped working and wont show any of my saved tabs. lost tons of saved tabs because of this.
  • (2024-10-20) Van Ferguson: Complete trash. I paid for it once, now it doesnt recognize that I've paid. I lost some chrome tabs, I can see them in tabs outliner, but it wont open them. What's the point of this.
  • (2024-10-15) Max E.: Developer regressed code in attempt to meet Chrome's new requirements on extensions. Leaving paid users without the functionality we originally had. You have been warned, you could have seen all the complaints and his behavior for yourself on google.groups but he just deleted all the content there to mask and posted a simple just email me. Trouble with that is he is a non-responsive developer doesn't matter which of the 3 email accounts you email at you will receive no response. Im sure someone will post up on reddit or some forum of the horror show.
  • (2024-10-13) Mike Johnson: Simple workaround for two common 2024 era issues. Issue one: the extension stops allowing "drag and drop of tab nodes into documents or between two open browsers" Issue two: "tab node double click not opening the page" Fix: Before attempting any of the above actions, reload (refresh) the Tab Outliner sidebar. == Why? == I noticed that the Tab Outliner sidebar seems to go "stale" and ceases to "self-update" == Three methods to reload the Tab Outliner sidebar == Click somewhere in the Tab Outliner sidebar (make it the active window) (1) Press the keys "Ctrl" and "R" at the same time (Ctrl-R is Windows OS. Same as Command-R for Mac OS) (2) Right-click the title bar of the Tab Outliner sidebar and choose "Reload" (3) Press the F5 key (Windows OS) Alternatively, you can close and reopen Tab Outliner sidebar if that seems easier for you.
  • (2024-10-04) El Manuel: Crash! The Outliner-Window is remaining black every time I open it, only the little bar at the bottom about the premium is displayed and can be clicked away and the icons at the bottom are visible and can be clicked, but the tabs treeview is not visible, only the black background. Even after chrome and windows restart.
  • (2024-10-02) sads sddsd: it used to be possible to drag and drop a TAB TREE from one instance to another instance ( a different chrome profile with tabs outliner ) , but now it only moves the FIRST TAB, can the developer kindly fix this . Also, it cant drag and drop into office ( word,etc ) , it used 2 be when u drag and drop a tree,, links would b copied 2 word. as of october 2024, drag and dropping works..GREAT work by the developer .updated to five stars again
  • (2024-10-02) Yun Xun: DO NOT PUT YOUR TRUST IN THIS!! My chrome just crash and I really thought I won't have a problem until I see my tree is blank! Not even a single window is registered! HOW why! where is my data go? WHERE DID YOU PUT MY DATA!!
