User reviews
The 'Tab Groups' extension is praised for its simple, clean interface and ability to save time by organizing tabs into groups, beneficial for productivity especially in tasks involving multiple projects. However, users frequently mention missing features such as export/import and backup, and report issues like duplicate tabs opening instead of replacing, an unwanted blank tab when opening groups in new windows, and occasional sluggishness when handling many tabs. Some users also experience functional bugs like group disappearance, indicating room for improvement in reliability and usability.
Pros
- Helps organize tabs efficiently by grouping them, saving time especially for repetitive tasks.
- Minimalist and clean user interface that is easy to use.
- Improves productivity by allowing quick access to groups of tabs for different projects or subjects.
- Works reliably for many users as a tab manager alternative.
- Users appreciate the ability to group tabs by topics or projects.
Cons
- No export/import or backup feature to save and restore tab groups.
- Opening tab groups in new windows adds an unwanted blank tab and does not maximize the window.
- Tabs reopened from groups do not close existing tabs, resulting in duplicated tabs rather than replacing them.
- Performance issues: UI can be slow to load with a large number of tabs or groups.
- Some confusion or malfunction with grouping functionality; users report groups disappearing or only one group available.

Absolutely awesome. I'm a teacher and I can easily open all the tables I need each week with one click instead of 12-20 clicks. I also make tab groups by subject so everything I'm working on can be organized and easy to find.

Alicia Kostecki, 2024-01-25Saving tabs into a group make them lose their suspended status, meaning using this extension will make all of them to fill your memory when restored (if they're too many tabs), unlike google's recently closed.

Xalomon, 2022-04-25Great extension, settled on it after trying a number of others. Love the minimal UI. Would be nice if you did not get a blank tab when you open a group in a new window.
