User reviews

One of the best decluttering tools out there. By the end of a work day, I usually end up with 30 tabs open all over the place. When I come in the next morning, my browser looks great. If there's every a tab I need to pull back up, I just go to the list and pull it back up. Easy.

Excellent tool for addition to the browser! Sweet!
