User reviews

Keepin' Tabs is praised for its outstanding handling of many open tabs with an intuitive UI, search, sorting, and quick tab controls. However, users report issues with Chrome compatibility, icon visibility in dark themes, and some functional limitations like lack of smooth tab dragging and insufficient search scope. Despite a few missing features such as dark mode and better integration with Chrome's tab groups, it remains an indispensable and well-designed tab manager for heavy tab users.

Pros

Excellent for managing large numbers of tabs (50+ to 80+) with easy navigation and quick tab searching.
Intuitive and clean user interface that is easy to understand and use immediately.
Allows tab reordering and offers multiple viewing modes including search functionality.
Includes useful features like visible site logos next to tabs, tab count per window, and options to close, refresh, or pin tabs.
Provides smooth and speedy tab browsing with keyboard shortcuts and quick-type search capability.

Cons

Incompatibility with newer Chrome versions causing extension to become disabled or unstable.
Icon visibility issues, especially on dark themes, and lack of tab count indicator on the extension icon in the toolbar.
Limitations in tab movement (no ability to scroll while dragging to reorder tabs) and slow to open the tab list.
Search functionality limited to the current window only and sometimes prioritizes searching URLs over titles.
Absence of features like dark mode, better integration with Chrome's tab groups, ability to rename windows, and customizable settings for URL display and mouse interaction.

Recent reviews

As someone who routinely has 80+ tabs open, this worked excellent for me, but now it's disabled. Hopefully an update comes out that makes it compatible with the newer versions of Chrome. I used it to keep track of how many tabs open (it gave you the number of open tabs in the window - no other tab manager does this!), used it to quickly find, select, or close tabs when I have like 50+ tabs open. I also used it to rearrange tabs easily and quickly. It's crazy how most other tab managers dont have these features and/or have inferior UI. If I knew how to program, I'd take over and update this extension.

Tried a few of these, and the only one I liked - Super easy to understand and use right away. - Navigates to the already open tab, rather then opening a new tab with the same origin as the other one. Great job!

Edgeの垂直タブよりも見やすいので、便利。欲を言わせてもらうと、 - どのタブう現に開いているタブがが分かりやすく表示されるとありがたい。 - この拡張機能のアイコンの色目が目立ちにくいので、コントラストに配慮してほしい。
