Xalomon 2022-05-17: Restoring a session doesn't work like Chrome's History>Recently Closed does, where all tabs are brought back suspended without problems. The extension instead will bring each tab and try to load it in memory, when there's too many tabs they can't fit in memory making the browser hang.

Daniel Mikołajczyk 2021-12-05: Settings don't save - screenshot settings to thumbnail, resets when you close browser. Same as in earlier comments: - a slider would be useful; - ability to find duplicates; - ability to add to groups (change group colour, folder); - ability to add to favourites.

Jim Nidositko 2021-10-30: This extension looks very nice, but it seems to have a huge bug. When there are many windows, it does not properly scroll down past the first page in the session manager. The scroll anchor moves, but the context does not move. It stays stuck on the first page.

Pat MySecret 2021-06-28: I like the way this incorporates New Tab function and the layout options, particularly Tiles.. However.. I tend to use a lot of similar/identical web pages.. particularly in blogging on the same website. There's probably many others out there who do something similar. I use the MultiLogin extension and see numbers that help differentiate, but that kinda invokes a numeric memorization task. If there was a simple choosable color option to help differentiate the tabs, that would make this a lot better. While the extension Tabs Outliner doesn't seem to have the tile layout and new tab function, it does let me put notes to help differentiate similar tabs.. so I am switching to Tabs Outliner.

Jason Carlin 2021-03-26: Really impressive — this thing does everything! My main request would be having a max-width for the tabs tiles (or table). It's really tough to visually scan all those tabs on my big monitor.
Richard Lloyd (K3tonan) 2021-03-12: You are 1 star away from perfect. My main issue is that there is not an easy way to Save sessions (i.e. right click the icon and select). I ran across one that gave you the option to save various either single tab, all tabs from single window and all tabs from all windows. Another option that would be handy is on restore it doesn't load the pages until clicked on. Last, session recovery. I have been testing this on Brave and noticed that even if I set New Tab Override to Browser Default it still impacts the default tab by reducing it to minimalist view rather than Brave's New Tab.

Ge Ve 2021-03-09: Almost perfect. However tried the search feature to find the tab I want, tried to type the name of the tab and after writing a couple of letters the letters are deleted making the search feature useless. please fix this

joan sola 2020-08-24: No hace nada, o bien no es nada intuitiva. tampoco hay un lugar donde pueda informarme de como funciona. No entiendo como pueden triunfar aplicaciones así. No sirve para nada.

Adrian Staicu 2019-10-21: Good for session control, but I didn't have much use for the rest of the features. I would have loved to be able to disable the new tab thing. I found that totally useless. For now I keep it disabled and enable it when I need it. Maybe it would make more sense to split it in two extension and also find duplicate tabs.

Richard Hoefer 2019-07-01: Wow Jason, this is amazingly architected with unprecedented amounts of style customization and uncommonly great UX! The "however" part for me is that in order for me to use this as my new tab replacement page, I would want all tab tiles to be at least 1/2 the width and size of your defaults. I was momentarily excited seeing within your extensive custom theming options you have the ability to change tile sizes! But not make them smaller, only larger. I am sure you have very well thought-out rationales for this re the common problem of end users being their own worst enemies in configuring things that break when scaled across a large data set. However, for me, my highest priorities for a new tab page are instant icon recognition, in most cases without the need for any text whatsoever to identify the site. I know I am in the minority, but I'd much prefer the methods employed by numerous other tab speed-dial extensions whereby the domain's app or favicon is shown by default, plus giving users the option to customize the icons with their own uploaded image files (for example, as implemented by Infinite Dashboard's bookmarks page). The scale of your default tab tiles is very similar to sitting way too close to the front of a TV or movie screen, and you are enveloped by items way too large as to be uncomfortable. Nevertheless, I have to salute you and say that I have never ever seen this much extraordinary user experience thinking and execution in an extension on any platform. I'm sure you are a force to reckon with in all of your client work.
Carlos Eduardo Guerra Silva 2019-06-14: Impressive functionality!
Terrn Lister 2019-06-04: The bookmarks part needs some work, since I have my bookmarks all sorted into folders, but it shows everything as a single list that cannot be collapsed or hidden. Quite annoying.

Lesia 2019-03-15: Am I missing something? I cannot use the extension, it only allows options where I can toggle on and off about 20 settings. But I can't get to the actual program with all the features, the program in the pic above. I cannot access it. Where is it?! I click on the extension, nothing. Click on options, nothing. Tried to find their website, nothing. Where is the program so I can do all the features in the overview?
