User Reviews

Pros: saves/restores pinned tabs, supports multiple groups, is simple and lightweight, works across browsers/OS, and is a lifesaver for pin-based workflows. Cons: autoload is unreliable, can duplicate tabs, lacks keyboard shortcuts for groups, mixed or missing cross-device sync, and occasional UI glitches. Overall, a highly useful tool with notable reliability and feature-gap issues that affect flawless use.
Pros
  • Saves and restores pinned tabs across sessions and crashes, saving time and effort.
  • Supports multiple tab groups/contexts (e.g., work, home, social) and works across monitors.
  • Simple, lightweight, and straightforward to use with no ads or heavy permissions.
  • Works across multiple browsers/operating systems, aiding consistency across environments.
  • Widely regarded as a lifesaver for recovering essential pins and workflows.
Cons
  • Autoload is inconsistent and does not always load pinned tabs on startup.
  • Occasional tab duplication when loading/restoring groups.
  • Lacks keyboard shortcuts to pin/unpin groups or automate loading of groups.
  • Cross-device sync/save between devices is missing or not reliably implemented.
  • Sporadic UI issues like the Save button not responding or reliability regressions after updates.

Very focused and effective solution!

This is an absolutely fantastic extension when it works!! However, it only autoloads the pinned tabs about 25% of the time. Would be great if it was consistent 100% of the time.
