User reviews

REALLY great extension and reasonable pricing (similar to other extensions of this type). I'm a big fan of lifetime subscriptions so snatched that up right away... I'm a legit tab hoarder (like many of us), and I used to use OneTab to do similar things to this, but had issues with it losing all my tabs (you can backup but only manually), which Control Space has safeguards against... Tried a bunch of these other tab manager and this one is IT for me. This interface is MUCH BETTER for organizing projects, I'm really enjoying being able to access what I need to and more importantly FIND THINGS when I need them. Excellent work, can't wait to see what's next.

150 bucks as a one-time purchase for a tab manager, lol. It looks nice, the funcionality seems to be on a par with tabOS with the same subcription pricing so choosing beetween these two I would take the latter.
