- TDMx app (TDMx)
- Are you kidding me? I had a dream, and Tabsurfer made it for real! Never had this smoothy experience with a chrome extension. Easy Peasy. A pure gem this extension. It took me 30 seconds to convince me to take a PRO License.
- Dominik Koch
- Works like a charm and the developer listens to feedback!
- James Greene
- not bad not bad :)
- Stefanos Kaloyeros
- i always end up with 15+ tabs open on completly different subjects. being able to collapse as soon as i feel that its getting too messy and organize myself with 1 click its awesome. also love the design, minimalistic and very easy to navigate. thanks to the creator (also cool logo)
- Margaritra Demetriou
- Simple, clean, and genuinely well-designed. Super easy to use, with no overcomplicated features, and it keeps things streamlined without forcing you into bookmarks. Exactly what a tab tool should be. It’s perfect if you’re the type of person who always has way too many tabs open, and I’m honestly not a fan of bookmarking links just to dig through them later. This feels like a much more natural and efficient way to stay organized. Would highly recommend it. Good job 👍
- Hewar Saber
- This gives you a clear overview over what your tab groups contain. Much better than Chrome's native tab groups.
- Toolfolio
- honestly this saved my laptop from dying lol. had like 20+ tabs open on my macbook for a project and everything was lagging. the collapse feature is a lifesaver
- theaiblock
- I usually end up with way too many tabs open. This actually helped me clean things up without closing anything important.
- bunnyytools
- Tried it loved it. I really like how easy it is to curate and organize my bookmarks with this. 10/10 for the design btw.
- Vangelis Trikoupis
- Such a simple idea but super powerful, I like what I'm seeing in the coming soon.. I wish there was a CMD+Z to undo the last action i did (please add it the roadmap) Also, in the latest world of vibe coded designs this is fresh. I don't trust new extensions with all the hidden mining going on so I always do an audit. Here it is: Memory footprint: 66 MB CPU: 0.0-0.2 Thank you! Keep it up
