I love the idea of Tangent, but the application has some insurmountable issues. This extensions requires you to be logged in to properly sync over multiple systems, and logging in erased everything I'd saved before I logged in. Even though I'm currently logged in on two systems, my projects aren't syncing. Decided to switch to Project Tab Manager, because it saves everything in the bookmarks folder, which syncs across all Chrome systems, including mobile phones.

I'm using it and it is very helpful. I found one problem, though. I put some 15 tabs in a folder and, whenever I try to open that folder, Chrome would hang up (memory). Is there a way to edit/split the folder without opening it, so that it becomes smaller?
