2024-03-07	Victor Romulo	pt	Simples e eficiente. Digite 2 abas e ele fecha na terceira. Digite 1 e ele fecha na segunda. Digite 0 e ele não deixa você abrir nenhuma outra. Ajudou muito a minha produtividade.
2023-09-13	Daniel Oliveira		Your extension has a bug. If you close your browser in unconventional ways, such as using the task manager, and you have more than one window open, when you reopen your browser later, probably all other windows are going to be closed except one. If your computer turns off for any reason and you restart it, Chrome will show you a message saying that you didn't close the browser correctly. When you click on the 'restore' button, the same thing that happens when you close your browser with the task manager occurs. So, I think it would be useful if the extension had a history or something similar. Alternatively, if it's easy for the developer, they could just fix that bug. If you need help understanding how this bug has affected me, just let me know.
2023-05-16	Brian		works ok until you lose all your tabs
2022-12-19	Vishw		A great extension! has really helped boosting my productivity, but a feature that needs to be added, one can just open a new window and have more tabs open that there should be as of extension - it does block all of those opened in the same window but all it takes is opening a new window to bypass it, overall really helpful though, thanks!
2022-07-19	Dat Nguyen Ba		hey really nice i love it
2022-01-18	Cress Caribou		okay so like it didn't actually work, I have a little problem with having too many tabs open and I have a counter for it (currently at 434 tabs in this browser, but I also have a school browser and I'm still clearing stuff out of my old browser). At one point I got down to around 300 and set my limit to 350, but then realized that xtab did nothing.
2022-01-10	Tsunazoz		So simple, yet so effective.
2021-12-02	Alexander		When I tried to move and merge several tabs from another window - this extension first moved them, but then closed them all ! I've lost my data !!! Very crooked app! Flaw!

2021-10-07	bob king		Ive used this extension for the last several years, it wasn't perfect and there were never any other alternatives, I used this to block any new tabs opening from sites that would launch new tabs to try to redirect me to a spam or scam site, 98 percent of the time it would work well, now its not the case. The other issue ive always had with it is its badge icon disappearing in my browser no matter what computer im on time to time, the only way to get it to show again was to reinstall it which was always aggravating, now suddenly on this site anime frenzy, it isn't limiting popup tabs anymore, luckily ive finally found what seems to be a better solution called tab limiter, its free just like x tab, but seems to be far faster reacting and it uses less memory, xtab was great, but it isn't updated nearly enough, it served me well all these years, but tablimiter will be my new tab management extension...
