Absolutely amazing. Couldn't tell you to get this instead of any of the others more! You can change your button so you don't have to press alt-z. The only problem I find is that when you do close it, it says all of your tabs have been closed. So maybe it would be better if you could change it so it opens up a different picture, text, video or site. Apart from that it's fabulous. GET NOW!!! :-)

it closes all of your tabs! it doesn't hide it. and when you put them back, it loads every single tab up at the same time. where as before it is there, but aren't loaded up in memory. so if you have 3 dozen tabs of all youtube videos, they are now all loaded up and playing at the same time. and it blanks your page so you can't do anything. all i wanted was something that would slide the tabs up tucked out of site - but still there.
