这个工具真的赞,前端开发过程中能标记各个页面/项目
by Norvik Yuan, 2024-11-20

Fantastic! And it's an open source project on Github and the developer seems to care about the finer details of the user experience and the quality of presentation style. Note: One of other reviewers (Yacine Hannane) mentioned an issue with losing a tab's title when refreshing the tab. This does NOT in fact seem to be an issue at all in my testing, and may either be a bug that has long since been fixed, or was a problem unique to that user's personal setup.

For the most part, this is a very good tool. However, there is one issue for me: When you refresh the tab, it will lose it's title. This is quite annoying in situations where you have to refresh often e.g. web development. If @developer could fix this, I would absolutely love the extension
