Reviews & Comments of TabsFolder chrome extension

WOULD NOT RECONMEND BETTER YET STAY AWAY FROM THIS TYPE OF EXTENSION, it opened my tabs in seperate windows which kinda looked like malware but i had this type of thing happen to another extension i used which i would also advice to stay away from (workona), not only this extention did that it also removed my tabs and would not let me restore tabs. it also doesnt really organise the tabs.

I really love this tab manager, but it completely breaks when you use Chrome's native tab groups, and I found out the hard way. Re-opening grouped tabs after switching away, they all become junk pages with no history or anything; you lose them. So sad!

One of the best UNFINISHED extensions i've seen. It would be awesome if it worked!

Exactly what I needed for a long long time, thank you

The author claimed won't develop the extension any further, and it seems this one is abandoned...too bad because this had potential... You have to drag the tab from other group to the main group to open the tab instead of just clicking it

Exactly what I needed!

Really not as smooth, beautiful and efficient as Tab Groups on Firefox, but it does do the job quite fine and so it allows you to maintain the workflow and workstyle you are used to. And since web-ext screwed Ff Tab Groups, this is the best you can get. Well, ok, this "A Google User" suggested fork: https://github.com/pjh5000/TabGroupsForChrome is a little better (real difference is small, though) I'd really appreciate to have the option to work with groups as with graphic tiles - that's the only thing it really needs to get to 5*, other stuff would be just details.

Even the multi-featured Toby can not compete with this extension's auto-updated tab list feature. This extension comes quite close to the concept of Firefox's wonderful decayed Tabs Folder add-on. Hope someone will continue to develop this extension.

Quite close to Group Tabs of Firefox, but not as so good. - It doesn't have a overview thumbnails of the tabs. - The tab groups can not be collapsed to get space. - (bug) The tab group names are switched between groups. So funny to see this group has another group's name each time I open it.

The best tab management tool I've seen so far. No need to create yet another account, it syncs along with chrome and I can easily group my tabs into sensible contexts.

very useful and reliable tool. tried several others previously but this is best

Switching groups reloads all tabs in the group. This is the antithesis of 'productivity' as anything you were doing on those tabs is clearly lost.

"Use this Group" button is located next to "Close this Group" button. So if you accidentally hit the close button say Goodbye to all of the tabs in the group. Too dangerous.

The app would be great except for one major flaw - It randomly overwrites your tab groups! I've lost multiple tab groups now, and it completely kills the usability of this app when I can't depend on it to not randomly delete my tab groups. Once this issue is corrected, if it ever is, I'd gladly give this app four or five stars.

The only reason I used Firefox was for Group Tabs, as this is now coming to the end I decided to look for the same function on Chrome. This one is the closest I've found that provide the same functions. The usability could be a little better and with that I would give 5 stars, however, it does the job so will not complain.

App gets confused when groups are synced across devices. So an active group on one pc will magically appear on other pc (which is awesome), but it'll be active and yet contain the tabs which were already open on that pc, in effect you lose the tabs you were working on...

Needed to add Firefox Tab Group functionsality to Chrome. This is the best I have found and the only one to do the same basic job. It is rather basic and less intuitive to use than the FF extension. Unlike FF tab groups it does however refresh all the sites in a group when switching.

Liked it mostly but it works poorly across synced machines, open tabs in a group on one pc will become the open tabs on a different pc overwriting the original content and groupname. Major irritating

this is what i've been looking for!

A great add-on for Chrome, the closest I'll ever get to the group functionality in FF. Two requests I'd make though, more shortcuts. Key combos to open the tab group selection screen, create new tabs group, move a selected tab to another tab group. If you were to add that then you'd probably be as close as Chrome will let you get to FF's group view.

Best I found so far.

Thank you! I was searching for a tab group extension that wasn't trash for hours. I use tab groups to separate projects I am working on and the resources for them. Here are some other programs I tried to get this functionality: OneTab - Good and has groups, just isn't built for this. SessionBuddy - Also has groups but it feels wonky to switch sessions just to switch your tabs. Tab Outliner- Really good but has a bug currently where windows duplicate due to "crashes." I really hope you keep developing/managing this extension. You can add functionality to automatically hibernate tabs like the aforementioned extensions, ui customizations, etc. I wouldn't mind paying for that. Try to advertise this on reddit/hacker news as well!

Great! It's not the prettiest extension, but it works the best of any Tab Grouper I've tried. One thing I'd like the see is the option to automatically close the TabsFolder tab when switching to a new group. I hope this keeps getting updates.

Love it! Pretty neat and easy to organize and navigate through the different tabs/groups. Thanks!

Finally a GOOD tab manager on chrome!

i switched from chrome because the tab group in firefox even i like chrome more, but because of this extension i am able to back using my favorite browser please continue the development of this extension it has a lot of potential. i gave it 5 because it is in the initial versions and hope you will keep up with this rate. Thanks a lot
