Used to work well, but now it stops updating the badge until it's clicked after a while. On version 1.3.5.

You have to click the icon to see the true number of total tabs. It does not update the number on its own.

Sandy Knowles, 2025-02-16

Version 1.3.4 - The same bug. DOEN'T WORK. From Version 1.3.3 (from 11 February 2025) it stopped working properly. It counts the open tabs correctly, but shows "0" (zero) in the pin. I need to open its window to see the actual number. Not good, not at all. Current window open tabs: 55 Current window pinned tabs: 0 CHROME: Version 109.0.5414.120 (Official Build) (64-bit)
