Классное. Спасает от мусора в браузере. Но почему-то программа сохранила менее 100 вкладок (при том что лимит стоял на 200 или 300) :(( Очень жалко. Вкладки остались только 4хдневней давности

Been using this for years now, and it is certainly the extension I rely the most on – even though I never think about it anymore, because it just does its thing. Absolutely essential!
