I LOST ALL MY TABS: I am a workona user. I don't know if it's attributable to this but I see all my tabs but when I click on them, or even click GO BACK, nothing happens. I have the feeling I lost all my tabs in this current Workona folder! I had the feeling they might be incompatible! BEWARE!

To the developers I say you did a great job! This app was extremely helpful to speed up my browsing experience. I would absolutely give it five stars except for one thing. The only way to make an exception to a tab is to pin it.  I would like to see another option such as right click so that you can cherry-pick which tabs you want to be exempt without having to pin it. I'm not a developer but this doesn't seem like so difficult. After that I think it deserves 5 stars!
