Latest reviews
- (2023-07-27) Emmanuel: TOO...MANY...BUGS. The extension hasn't been updated in over 2 years. DO NOT INSTALL!!! This extension is dead.
- (2022-07-17) Elienai Assis: It should be a preview of the page contents... most sites don't have a cool or high-res icon...
- (2022-05-17) Xalomon: 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.
- (2021-12-05) Daniel Mikołajczyk: 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.
- (2021-10-30) Jim Nidositko: 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.
- (2021-06-28) Pat MySecret: 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.
- (2021-03-26) Jason Carlin: 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.
- (2021-03-12) Richard Lloyd (K3tonan): 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.
- (2021-03-09) Ge Ve: 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
- (2021-03-07) 7SD GMAIL: EXCELLENT! Pensez-vous le traduire en Francais? Merci
- (2021-02-14) 양태호: I have many bookmarks. So It's good to use. But I'm not good to use this app.
- (2020-08-24) joan sola: 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.
- (2020-08-16) Artemi Lebedev: High cpu usage and no window grouping
- (2020-08-09) Brian Purgert: Amazing!
- (2020-02-08) Chelsea Boddie: This extension is exactly what I needed. I love it and can say that it definitely helps with my productivity.
- (2020-01-04) Kris W: It's missing option to search for duplicates in history and delete them (only duplicates)
- (2019-10-21) Adrian Staicu: 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.
- (2019-07-01) Richard Hoefer: 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.
- (2019-06-14) Carlos Eduardo Guerra Silva: Impressive functionality!
- (2019-06-04) Terrn Lister: 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.
- (2019-05-19) J K: Maybe good concpet... but I hope it can have it own page instead of taking over my new tab page
- (2019-04-15) wa da: I don't know how to use it
- (2019-03-15) Lesia: 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?
- (2019-03-08) Henry V: It removed my duplicate bookmarks and saved me a lot of time.
- (2018-12-03) Jesse Boyer: a lot of time was put into this and it has a lot of cool feature, dont see many ext like this anymore!
- (2018-10-02) Javier arias: MUY BUENA IDEA IDEAR ESTA TABULAción cierta y precisa como una navaja
- (2018-02-13) Paul N: Incredible - does everything in one package! Please make it run separate from New Tab!
- (2017-10-21) Инна Валешковская: Great Tool. Only if there was a possibility to move tabs between saved sessions and make search not in each session but in all sessions and open tabs simultaneously ...
- (2017-04-06) Marcin Chmiel: It seemed fine until I identified this extension as a major performance drawback. This is especially apparent when scrolling pages.
- (2017-03-26) Any chance you'd be willing to hide any bookmarks with the domain "javascript"? I have a bunch of bookmarklets that would do well hidden from the rest…
- (2016-12-23) Joakim Eliasson: This extension does what I need and I used to need 4-5 extensions to do that!
- (2016-12-18) Alex Dorey: Everything i need in a new-tab extension. I like that it's open source and the devs regularly update it with bug fixes and features. Though, it might be good to have demos of the advanced features built into the extension.
- (2016-12-15) Rhiamon Reese: Sarebbe la migliore estensione del suo genere ma purtroppo non riesce a gestire tanti Bookmarks (ne ho centinaia) e quando cerco di aprire l'estensione dopo aver selezionato la modalità Bookmarks, si blocca e rimane bloccata. Non posso più nemmeno accedere alle opzioni per resettarla, devo disinstallarla e reinstallarla.
- (2016-10-12) Reset 77: This could be one of the top 3 chrome extensions in history, it has a lot of potential i currently dont use it cause it replaces new tab, i already have a cool speed dial so my biggest suggestion will be to allow this extension run as a normal tab you can pin, instead of replacing the New Tab, also is slow to load, thats why having it always open in a normal tab will be much better also as a UI designer i will suggest moving the left menu to the top, the left menu overlapping the content is not very useful and there is a lot of free space in the top This has a lot of potential, hope you still develop this Thanks!!
- (2016-08-02) Martin Lichtblau: Try it out yourself - this tool is phenomenal on so many levels!
- (2016-04-25) Floyd: Great extension and I love it, but it seems to not want to love me back. Would love to have a dark theme. It started crashing/autoclosing after I made some changes in settings eg. Tile size etc. Fixed it by reinstalling. Overall great extension, would love to have tab thumbnails as a separate extension. Thank you for your extension and your consideration.
