Key features include fuzzy search for quick access even with uncertain spelling, omnibar search by typing "tz keyword" in the address bar, drag-and-drop URL and folder management, and the ability to add comments to URLs and folders.

Pros
  • Simple to use and effective tab management
  • Lighter and faster compared to alternatives like Onetab
  • Supports adding tabs via URL and multiple link selection
  • Includes features such as sorting, searching, and organizing tab groups with favicons
  • Good replacement for Onetab with better multi-link selection and drag-and-drop capabilities
Cons
  • Lack of quick delete option without confirmation makes deleting multiple tabs tedious
  • No sync feature or unclear how saved tabs sync across devices via bookmarks
  • User interface could be improved for better usability
  • No indication of drop space when rearranging tabs, making drag-and-drop placement tricky
  • Lack of some expected features like auto-closing saved tabs, duplicate removal, and context menu options

Great app, but lacks one major capability, a “Quick Delete” option/method. Add an option to disable/bypass the “Delete” Confirmation Box. At most times, I want to quickly delete numerous tabs by just clicking the “X” close button without having to confirm each deletion, which takes way to long and is extremely tedious. Mostly, I want to quickly “click” delete, not, “click”, “confirm”, delete. That “confirmation” box is unnecessary and unwanted in most instances.

Opening a bunch of saved tabs will drive you insane as they fill up your ram and make your browser and system hang. Use recently closed for a better alternative that doesn't do this.

Extension safety

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

tabzen requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
