Simple and fantastic! Dead easy to configure, and makes it easy to group different tabs by color.

I really liked it to begin with, but when I open up my browser, it would randomly create new tab groups for some tabs when there were already groups present and it would also jump existing tab groups around, which was very disorientating... Not for me at this time.
