| 2025-03-04 |  | | en | Please update the extension. It stopped working. It is very inconvenient to work without it. |
| 2025-02-20 |  | | en | F off, google. What I use on MY computer does not need to follow YOUR best practice or terms of service. If anything, it's YOU that needs to earn your position, and you're losing it. |
| 2024-11-14 |  | | en | Broken now. It'll no longer save the options. Everything gets set to and stuck on "Default". |
| 2024-10-06 |  | | en | Finally I found the extension to make Chromium desktop and Kiwi mobile browsers to act right! When I cose a tab it goes back to the last tab I was on. Hallelujah! I will back up this extension .crx file (use “CRX Extractor/Downloader“ extension, download as .zip, and rename to .crx in file browser), and my Kiwi app apk file and stay on old Chrome forever if they make this extension obsolete. In the extension's options I occasionally have to toggle “Activated Tab After Last Tab Closing“ to another option, and then back to “In Activated Order“, to get it to reactivate again. Some function seems to override it periodically. l blame Chrome. I also love being able to force Kiwi to open extension-option-tabs next to the current tab (another Chrome setting that should be default!). Under “New Tab“, click “Add“ and set each of these addresses, WITHOUT quotes, as “Right of current Tab“ & “Forground“: For Kiwi: “kiwi-extension://*“ or For Chrome: “chrome-extension://*“ If you want all other new tabs to open this way Add “https://*“ and “http://*“ |

| 2024-08-23 |  | | en | Message to the author: This extension may soon no longer be supported because it doesn't follow best practices for Chrome extensions. |
| 2024-07-22 |  | | en | Good but inexplicably interferes with Javascript on at least one site, metafilter.com. When liking or unliking a post on that site, the site throws a warning that Javascript is disabled, even when it isn't. I feel like that should not happen. Added later: Also, the "alt-u" command that goes with extension to sort tabs prevents using the option key on Mac (which doubles as the alt key) to put an umlaut over a vowel. Ordinarily, when you type option + u, the next character you type will have umlauts over it, like this: ü. However, with this extension installed, instead your tabs are sorted and you can't get the ü at all! Also, despite the instructions in the extension's options pane that say «Open the extensions page scroll to the bottom of the page and click "Configure commands".», no such link or option is available in Microsoft Edge. |
| 2024-07-09 |  | | en | This extension is actually very good, but it can be a nightmare when you have 500 tabs and your browser crash. 1. The tab group will be broken, leaving the first 1 tab. 2. The tab order is broken. |
| 2024-06-09 |  | | ru | Хочется, чтобы можно было закрывать вкладки разными кнопками с разным результатом. Например нажатие по крестику ЛКМ закрывает вкладку и переносит на последнюю активную, а ПКМ закрывает и переносит на соседнюю. Сомневаюсь, что движок хрома позволяет отслеживать такие события, но было бы очень круто, так как есть разные потребности при закрытии вкладок. Также можно реализовать бытрое переключение функций через меню закрепленного расширения. Спасибо разработчику и ChatGPT за то, что посоветовал это расширение |
