User reviews

I really like it, but after Chrome changed how groups work, any tab that was suspended upon restoring a Chrome window is turned into a "new tab". So I have to choose between losing everything in my last session, or having an optimized browser. Unfortunately, saving my browser is far more important to me. Hopefully, this gets resovled eventually.
