- (2025-05-13) PR: Cool but needs the AI tab grouping add-on badly, everyone wants that and the Chrome one is trash. Add that it is best in class, also add privacy info...do you see your tabs or other info?
- (2025-04-01) Ero Gray: A small but significant improvement to my quality of life. I almost never notice that the extension is tidying up my browser, and when I do need to look for a closed tab it's easy to find.
- (2025-03-31) Kelechi Ukadike: On reopening tabs in the corral, why does the extension open the tab on a new tab and then closes so that I have to open the extension again to do it all over; why not just stay open while I click on each tab in the corral. Sometimes it stays while I click each tabs, but only sparingly so that I cannot replicate the action. Feels random. Also, only works online? If I lose internet connection for just a bit, it doesn't work. Why?
- (2025-03-15) Justin Walker: Still doesn't work right. Timer resets when you change tabs. Shame because I used to love this extension.
- (2025-01-24) wundervrc: Using on Opera gx, works for me! :) Set to check against all windows.
- (2025-01-12) James Burrell: shows a pinned tab when it is not pinned.
- (2024-11-10) Yaniv Efraim: Life changing!!!!
- (2024-10-27) pablo: Doesn't work -Restarts the timer every time I go to another tab or open a new tab
- (2024-10-26) Adrian Silesian: unfortunately it doesn't work for me. it restarts the counter every time I close the browser!!!! Which is pointless!!
- (2024-09-09) Chris Sherriff: EDIT, this seems fixed. Thanks! --- OLD: This has stopped working! It no longer closes tabs :(
- (2024-08-04) PixelPirate45: does not close tabs after the set amount of time! only closes if I have the set amount of tabs open
- (2024-07-12) Obaid Samadian: Really helpful for those who have a problem with keeping too many tabs open which has negative impacts on their productivity.
- (2024-07-12) ilvhimestyle: very help full, all its work n so far used no problem
- (2024-07-02) AlRayah Market - الرايه ماركت: Perfect <3
- (2024-06-07) Bruce Schneider: I love this extension, but it stopped working. Please fix. I have the latest version, too.
- (2024-05-31) Banana Horizon: Stopped working I think?
- (2024-05-26) Amber Wallace: I generally love this extension, but it recently stopped updating my corral count unless I restart my chromebook. Other than that it's great
- (2024-05-09) Jason Rhodes: This seems to have stopped working recently, and I'm not sure why? I also noticed the "Auto-close if there are more than" value is set to 20 but even after changing that, auto-close has stopped working. I'm not sure if there is another place to report this... Rating 4 starts because I've loved this extension for many years, and leaving off that last star just to draw attention to the fact that it's not working currently. Would do 5/5 when this is fixed. :)
- (2024-05-08) Darius V: Itt started not closing tabs. For example it should close in 30 minutes but this page https://vuejs.org/guide/essentials/reactivity-fundamentals stays way longer. I do not know if it closes any tab anymore, really noticed lot of tabs remain open for long time, it not used to be like this. Then I noticed there is setting "Auto-close inactive tabs if there are more than" and its value was 20. How? It used to be ~5 . Thats why they were not closing.
- (2024-04-30) Cacá: Perfect!
- (2024-04-29) Gwang Jing Chew: Why it will still auto unlock the tap that already locked?
- (2024-04-28) Ddd: Easy to use GUI, simple, doesn't force you to learn how to code to use! *sweating*
- (2024-03-29) Vishal Isharani: Just awesome!
- (2024-03-17) Jan Jelschen: Been using this for years now, and it is certainly the extension I rely the most on – even though I never think about it anymore, because it just does its thing. Absolutely essential!
- (2024-02-07) Deb H: This is the feature you didn't know you needed!! After getting hooked on a similar functionality in the Arc browser, I came looking for a tool I could use on my locked-down work PC. Tab Wrangler is awesome, it's so great to be able to open tabs as needed without having to clean them up manually. I set it to retain tabs that are in Groups, to make it easy to keep larger sets of frequent tabs without designating them as "locked."
- (2023-12-31) Miguel Juarez: Absolutely amazing!!! thank you so much for this great and useful extension.
- (2023-12-12) Spencer Rothfuss: Does exactly what it advertises
- (2023-10-15) go tan: カウントダウンは始まるが、全くタブを閉じてくれない。解決策があったら教えて欲しい。 The countdown starts but does not close the tab at all. Please let me know if there is a solution.
- (2023-08-05) 平和: すごい便利です!開発者様ありがとうございます!
- (2023-06-05) Google Google: Worked for a week or two then at some point totally failed to close tabs that have been open for longer than 10 minutes.

- (2023-03-16) John McCarthy: Have used this app for years and have closed around 80k tabs with it. Would love the option to 'keep unique tabs' open meaning that the oldest of a domain group would stay open. One of the most useful extension I have ever had, if not the most useful.

- (2022-11-13) Bakari Chavanu: Seriously click you for this extension. It's always been so annoying to select and quit individual taps throughout the day. I knew there was a solution for automatically closing tabs, but I never got around to checking Google extensions. Again, thank you so much for your work.
