Very useful extension. However, it has two problems: groups don't always close properly, and it creates too many duplicate groups.

Jeremy Peters 2025-09-19

Works great.

Luca 2025-09-18

works like a charm. I have only one tip: in small window make a shortcut to rename tab directly hiding the creation of the rule, just let the extension to handle that, the rule.

KM DS 2025-08-13

Awesome and complete.

Terry Horwath 2025-08-06

Very nice extension. Request for enhancements: (1) let tabs added to a group persist as assigned, even after a tab is deleted during a work session and (2) allow colors to be assigned to tabs within a Group.

Joshua Low 2025-07-22

Seems very useful but not intuitive enough for me.

Halim Ansari 2025-07-09

renames taba fantastically.

Kristen Iverson 2025-07-08

there are no instructions and i don't know how to use it or rename tabs. Where are the instructions? What is a rule?

keilani conner 2025-07-07

Does exactly as advertised. Quick Tip: Input "Name" at the Top then scroll down to "Tab Title". This is what triggers the change.

Pranav Sarda 2025-05-16

it is good, only annoying bug is.. it keeps creating duplicate groups with same name when pinned. i have to manually delete it otherwise they keep increasing under the url bar. Fix for now is - i removed showing tab groups under the url bar and it is good now

Niki Haynes 2025-04-04

Very useful! Would be more useful if I could rename different instances of the same tab, though!

Dylan MacGregor 2025-03-18

Modified tab icon defaults back to the website's standard icon. I refresh the rules I'm running and it fixes it back to the custom icon I assigned it, but only for 5 seconds before defaulting back to the website's standard icon.

Dhruv Erry 2025-03-05

Fantastic extension, exactly what I needed.

xargs 2025-03-04

game changer! thanks for this!

Kim Potucek 2025-02-10

New updated fixed it. Thank you! I rely on this extension so much.

Wendy Hilt 2025-02-10

no way to open or enter the program. Downloaded, only advert page shows.

Gabriel Oliveri 2024-12-16

Great extension. Feature-rich, easy to use, does exactly what you want it to do—and more, with things like custom icon changes! Awesome job, highly recommend.

Thomas Lange 2024-12-06

So long I wandered in darkness till I found you My tabs are freshly modified Labeled well and organized.... Oh had I found you earlier, you little time and sanity saver....

MOHAMMAD SHAH 2024-12-05

Really great Add on Thank You

Jen-Lee Yee 2024-12-02

Used to be a 4/4.5 star a year ago, now only a 2. :( I have been using this extension for over year now and have loved it. Especially when the icons stuck when adding to another extension/app (Toby) for my tab management so they were easily identifiable by the icon alone. In the last couple weeks - I'm thinking since the last update, but maybe even as far back as when Chrome released groups for tabs, it's not retraining the title or the icon. It isn't always consistent, but definitely if I exit the browser or have to restart it for an update. Also when Google pauses a tab for inactivity to save bandwidth, it will also revert the title and the icons. I tried just this past week to use it's group feature vs Googles native option and it does not work at all. If I click on a tab in the group it pulls it out of the group and if I try to re-add it or move it to a new group, it duplicates the group or just pulls it back out again. I actually can't even use google's native option with tab modifier now. Not sure which one is having the glitch... So while this was a 4 start app a year ago - only 4 cuz there are not enough icon options without having to use an outside source which I couldn't figure out or at least couldn't get it to work, it has now dropped to a 2. No point if there is no functionality of changes sticking. It no longer keeps the title, the icon and for probably 9-10 months stopped keeping the name and icon when adding it to Toby.

Karen Buchanan 2024-11-27

Name is not retained. Would be great if the new name was retained when reloading the page, but it is not.

Nathan Ridley 2024-11-08

Fantastic! And it's an open source project on Github and the developer seems to care about the finer details of the user experience and the quality of presentation style. Note: One of other reviewers (Yacine Hannane) mentioned an issue with losing a tab's title when refreshing the tab. This does NOT in fact seem to be an issue at all in my testing, and may either be a bug that has long since been fixed, or was a problem unique to that user's personal setup.

Yacine Hannane 2024-11-01

For the most part, this is a very good tool. However, there is one issue for me: When you refresh the tab, it will lose it's title. This is quite annoying in situations where you have to refresh often e.g. web development. If @developer could fix this, I would absolutely love the extension

Marian Dragan 2024-10-12

Just plain awesome. So useful in so many situations :) I've been using it for quite a while.

Chris Malicdem 2024-09-24

How can I revert back to its original tab name? Please help

Noel Maniraguha 2024-09-04

Impressed with the UI... Amazing functionality 💯

Kyle Sanquist 2024-09-02

Love this extension and will keep using it to modify my tabs. That being said, I wish there was a way to upload .ico files from your local device for the tab icons. I know there's a way to use URLs, but uploading the icons would be much easier!

Abdelrahman KASM 2024-08-23

So helpful extension and thanks to the develop for this excellent work

Георги Стоянов 2024-08-20

I've been looking for a tool just like this one with no luck until now. It works great and it is very useful. I can make a few minor remarks on the UI but nothing major.

Jeff State 2024-08-18

I use this extension, comprehensively, on multiple Chromium browsers. The new UI is great, and the addition of Groups has me using this extension even more. As such, my list of Rules has become quite long. For that reason, I have some feedback: 1) Within the Rules tab, make the Plus (+) icon dynamic, rather than static, so those of us with long lists can always have that button available 2) On the Rules tab, enact eate an option for the Rules tab to display entries by tab. Each tab would correspond to an individual group, which also reduces the length/scrolling for all Rules in one place. 00) It'd also be useful, without breaking out the RegEx codex, to support the single character wildcard symbol (?). In this case, the "?" symbol is dedicated as a positional wildcard dedicated to only one TBD character. Thanks for your ongoing dev work. I look forward to the next update. Cheers Edit: I also have a lot of Groups, many which relate to each other (even related in color), so it'd be useful to allow reordering Groups as is possible with Rules

Theerapat S 2024-08-10

This works well at Microsoft Edge. Features are cool, love its.

Travis Stone 2024-07-31

No problem whatsoever. Love it so far

Jacob James 2024-07-16

I have about 15 different automations to automatically sort my tabs into groups, it has always been very reliable.

Cles Something 2024-07-11

To add to the influx of bug reports in the form of negative reviews, the extension no longer saves new tab names. It still applies old rules, and allows the creation of new rules, but the contents of the 'Tab title' textbox do not save once the Save button is clicked, and there is no longer an option to rename tabs from the right-click menu. I wish a speedy resolution to these problems, and will update my review to reflect these changes.

Tiffany Royal 2024-07-11

I've been using this for years and have loved it. But now, all of the sudden, when I go to try and edit my settings, I just keep getting the error that Chrome has blocked it. It is not on my technology end, but an error on the extension end. My previous settings are working, but I need to update some links and things for my new fiscal year and can't get passed the dang error.

John Smith 2024-07-11

Previous version was perfect for my needs (5 stars). On opening a new tab, it read the URL and changed the tab name accordingly and continued to update it each time I went to a new URL In the new version this only works when you open a new tab. If navigate to various URLs in an existing tab, the tab name does not update. Also, I had to re-create my list of rules - the new version doesn't import/update the existing rules. I'm very disappointed with this change, it is a massive loss to my productivity - I hope I can find an alternative extension

Cedric WEBER -BTWIN VILLAGE LILLE- 2024-07-11

perfect for my need. just can't figure how to get the rename tab option

Betsy Schwartz 2024-07-10

No action. I gather from reading other reviews that it stopped working on recent versions of Chrome.

David Hernandez 2024-07-03

When I click "Rename Tab", nothing happens? Am I missing something?

Insfire Wozniak 2024-07-03

IT WORK

Stuart Minion 2024-07-01

Not working on the latest chrome currently. Had this extension for years. Love it. So simple to use. I just can't do anything with it right now.

Edmund Vincent Dumaraog III Chaves 2024-07-01

New version is buggy

Thomas Vogel 2024-06-27

Works well.

Jack Russell 2024-06-26

Same here, has anyone found a solution?

Jaime Rodríguez Pirela 2024-06-26

Same here.. stop working a couple of days ago. But Great extension and nothing found similar to this. Thanks!!!

Brendan Roche 2024-06-25

Edit: The icon problem seems to have been solved! Thank you guys! I mainly use this extension to set custom tab icons for work. With the recent update, it no longer lets me save custom icons. I can choose from the provided icons, but when I enter the URL for a custom one, it disappears once I hit save and the icon stays as it's default. Luckily the rules I already had have kept their custom icons, but if I try to edit them, the custom icon again disappears when I save and resets back to default. This extension has been really useful to me and I haven't found any others that let you set custom tab icons, so I really hope this bug can be fixed soon.

Mark Rozengaus 2024-06-25

Stopped working after only a week of blissful life. Probably Chrome update messed up the sequence in which extensions are triggered...

Jay Neu 2024-06-24

Stopped working after working for years :( It shows the new tab name real quick but then defaults to the original

Si D 2024-06-23

FIX UNIQUE TAB! This is crucial!

Unknow0059 2024-06-22

Lacks the feature I sought. I can't excise parts of the title, such that if I have "foobar" and "foozazz", an excision rule makes it into "bar" and "zazz".
