## Review summary

Users broadly praise the extension for fast tab duplication via keyboard, plus the ability to insert new tabs next to the current one and other tab-management features. It’s reliable and customizable but can suffer from shortcut conflicts and occasional bugs across setups; a few users note performance quirks when popping tabs into new windows.

### Pros

- Duplicates tabs quickly with a hotkey, saving time and effort.
- Places a new tab directly next to the current tab (and within the same tab group), avoiding end-of-window chaos.
- Extends Firefox with extra tab-management features beyond simple duplication (e.g., creating child tabs in tab trees and popping tabs to a new window).
- Proven reliability: long-time users report flawless performance over years.
- Highly customizable shortcuts via settings, allowing convenient keybinds.

### Cons

- Keyboard shortcut conflicts and non-intuitive default keybindings, causing clashes with other extensions or system shortcuts.
- Occasional bugs and compatibility issues across environments or Firefox versions, sometimes requiring shortcut reassignment or updates.
