User reviews

Unfortunately, it has one serious drawback. From time to time, all saved bookmarks are deleted for unknown reasons. Fortunately, you can export them and then load them from a file, because otherwise addon would be simply unusable.

1. Can't get this to sleep a tab. It sleeps entire windows. 2. Cannot find a way to reopen the window I just slept, thinking I was sleeping a tab. There's a button that looks like it's supposed to re-open the window, but it doesn't work.

Click on Sleep tab crashes the whole Chrome window.
