User reviews

Users value the Link Grabber feature of the Lightning Extension for managing Salesforce tabs efficiently, but experience frequent instability with the tool. The removal and prolonged unavailability of the Dark Mode feature has caused significant dissatisfaction. Many users mention that Dark Mode is the primary reason for using this extension, and its absence negatively impacts their experience. The lack of updates and communication regarding Dark Mode's return adds to user frustration, often leading them to seek alternative plugins or manual solutions.

Pros

Link Grabber feature is useful and works most of the time when functional.
Helps to manage multiple Salesforce tabs efficiently within the Lightning Sales Console.
Generally appreciated for providing flexibility and user friendliness to Salesforce users.

Cons

Link Grabber feature is unstable and frequently stops working without explanation.
Dark Mode feature has been disabled for a long time, disappointing users who rely on it.
Lack of updates and communication about restoring Dark Mode frustrates users.
Users need to resort to third-party plugins or manual fixes to achieve Dark Mode functionality.

Link Grabber has stopped working for no apparent reason. FIX IT!!!!

Just an idea: ask all the other 3rd party plugin developers how to get dark mode running, seems to be a no brainer for them!

Still no dark mode. Are you hiring 3rd graders to code for you??

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Lightning Extension requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.
