User reviews

Users appreciate the extension's ability to manage and sync multiple browser tabs and windows, making daily tab management easier and more reliable than alternatives like OneTab. However, multiple users complain about session restoration issues, including lost sessions and confusing or non-functional restore options. The extension also lacks preservation of browsing history in saved sessions and could improve in session export and group management features. Several bugs cause unexpected closure of tabs during save or restore, impacting its reliability.

Why is this called 'Save Tabs - Browser SESSION MANAGER' when it only saves tabs statically, without preserving the session history (like back and forward navigation)? +2 for the password option.
