User reviews

Users praise Acid Tabs for automating tab grouping, ease of setup, and customizable rules that help manage many tabs efficiently. However, multiple users report issues such as tab groups splitting on startup, inflexible tab sorting that reverts changes, unmanaged URLs forced to the end, lack of backup options, and inconsistent grouping across windows. Overall, it's a useful extension that simplifies tab management but could improve reliability and flexibility in handling tabs and settings.

Pros

Automatically groups tabs for better organization.
Easy and simple to set up and use.
Customizable grouping based on URL patterns and colors.
Helps manage many tabs efficiently, useful for work-related tabs.
Fast and works in real-time.

Cons

Tab groups sometimes split or appear multiple times on startup or after restart.
Tab sorting is fixed and cannot be temporarily changed, restricting manual rearrangement.
Tabs not managed by the extension are automatically moved to the end, with no option to control placement.
No option to backup or export/import settings and tabs.
Issues with the extension not consistently grouping all tabs correctly, especially across multiple windows.

こんなツールが欲しかったです。とても便利なので使い続けたいです。他の方も書いていますが、以下の事象が改善されたら嬉しいです。 Chromeを最初に起動したときに、１．同じグループのタブが２個に分かれてしまいます。別れてしまった方のWebページを開くと１個に統一されていきます。２．閉じたタブグループがすべて開いた状態で起動されてしまいます。

これこそが皆が求めているタブ機能。もっと広まってほしい。さらに良くなる改善点の提案と対策。・tabのソート（"close duplicate tab" extention と併用すると良い）・tab順序の固定化・[Bug] メモリーセーバーで非アクティブなtabの挙動がおかしくなる [追記] ・The Great Suspenderと相性が悪い・順序バグはchrome起動時にReload-AllTabs extentionでショートカットキー設定すると元に戻る。（めんどくさい） This is the tab feature everyone is looking for. I want it to spread further. Suggestions and countermeasures for improvements to make things even better. ・Tab sorting (good to use with "close duplicate tab" extention) ・Determine the order of tabs ・[Bug] Inactive tab behavior becomes strange with memory saver [postscript] -Not compatible with The Great Suspender - The ordering bug will return to normal if you set the shortcut key with Reload-AllTabs extention when starting chrome. (bothersome....)

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.

Acid Tabs requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Chrome extension may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Chrome extension reputation on Chrome Web Store, the amount of time the Chrome extension has been around, and other signals about the Chrome extension. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Chrome extension.

Acid Tabs has earned a good reputation and can be trusted.
