en It would be great if it were possible to detach this manager into a separate window—for example, with the ability to move it to another area of the screen or even place it on a different monitor. As it stands, it takes up too much valuable screen space.

en Almost perfect tab manager for me. Only gripe is the sleep function, works perfectly and saves a lot of pc performance but a few features would be great. Such as an auto sleep function, where it will automatically sleep tabs that have not been used in a configurable amount of time. Also when closing window and reopening it doesnt remember my slept tabs so all tabs are active. If these were added i would give 5 stars.

en A must have extension. It improve drastically my productivity as Digital Project manager and developper. It would be very nice if Pined tabs would not update the icon or if we can set a customized icon eg to keep pined tab with the app icon. Eg. with Notion the icon is updated with the icon page instead of keeping Notion icon which is a bit confusing. BTW a great improvement would be to add in pined part aliases to applications (Docker, Terminal…) which will make Chrome like MAC dock. Thanks for this great job ;-)

en Great tab manager, especially handy is that you can select multiple tabs from the sidebar to close, put to sleep, and many other options. Also works across different windows

en So, so close to perfect. Please support easy creation of new tab groups - ideally, dragging and dropping a tab on top of another ungrouped tab would create a new tab group (similar to microsoft edge). Otherwise, a really well made extension!
