User reviews

As scary as it was to even think of installing it - THIS EXTENSION IS AMAZING. I used to have a million tabs open all the time, lying to myself that they were important an necessary. Installing this extension makes me finish what I'm doing knowing that if I don't, the tab will get closed. I stopped getting all of the resource warnings on my MAC because I was overloaded with processes running. I also love the ability to pin the tabs I want to keep open. THIS is the type of innovation I really appreciate. Great job!
