User reviews

Doesn't work with local websites, like file:///mywebsite/main_page.htm. There is no reason for this. I have plenty of Chrome extensions that are working with my local website. Also, it would be nice to change the websites from inside of the tab, but you can't. You have to click the extension button and input the websites there and then open a new tab. There is also a lot of wasted space at the very top of the tab and on the sides.

Wasn't working. I could only key in URLs. But the keyed in URLs won't open, even after I clicked enter. It still stays on the old webpage as a single tab.
