es Excelente. Abro mas de 100 pestañas de una carpeta de favoritos y sin esta extensión Chrome se come toda la RAM de mi PC y todo es un caos. Solo hago clic en el ícono, se descartan todas las otras pestañas y todo vuelve a la normalidad. Por favor una opción para poder descartar pestañas fijadas. Gracias

en Doesn't work for tab groups. Not tested with other types of startups.

This extension is simply invaluable. I have set it up as a shortcut on Alt+W which I use all the time out of muscle memory.

хорошее дополнение... но на темной теме совершенно его не видно и это очень неудобно... хотело бы вариант хотя бы сегорого цвета или в идеале чтобы можно было выбирать в настройках! Спасибо... пока что 4 звезды из-за того что значка совершенно невидно во мнногих случаях. good addition... But on the dark theme it is not visible at all and it's very inconvenient... would like an option of at least a gray color or ideally to be able to choose in the settings! Thanks... so far 4 stars because the icon is completely invisible in many cases.
