Extension summary

Before you begin...

• Outside of Chrome, Brave, and Edge, I cannot guarantee this will work. Please DO NOT review the extension unless you are using Chrome or Brave browsers. Other browsers that supposedly support chrome extensions can be added if you submit a GitHub issue or by emailing [email protected]. • Please submit a support request (by email, Github issue, or through the Chrome Web Store support feature) before providing a less than 5 star review. I will immediately fix whatever it is that prevents you from using the extension so that you can provide a 5 star review. Thanks!

= The Problem

Lots of horizontal tabs at the top of the browser pile up and become tiny. If they have the same favicon, or even with similar site titles, they become painful to search through quickly. This is a massive time waster for multitaskers like you!

============ = Our Solution

We open and attach a panel ("VLT") window to the left of your normal browser window and inside of it vertically list tabs, groups, etc. This should allow for large number of tabs to be visible at once and maintain the width of tab titles, increasing visual scanning and targeting speed for a specific tab.

I just discovered this and it blew my socks right away. Chrome is a proper nightmare to work with but I have to use it for my job, and it's got leagues better now. All my tabs are so easily recognizable, and neatly organized in groups, and the interface is sleek and clean - actually properly beautiful to look at. And being able to use the bar as its own independent sub window that can be resized and taken to a different monitor is fantastic too. I'm amazed at how much customizing it's been done. Google could take some classes from these devs to improve on their atrocious UIs.

Nice that it recognises the tab groups. However, it's lacking lots of basic functionality, and the UI is poor. 1. Why have it as a separate window to the left? A drop-down from the icon would be more useful. With the current system it's completely unusable. It always opens the tabs from the newest window, not the window you're using. And it makes the window smaller, which is just straight up jarring. Uninstalling immediately mainly because of this. 2. No search?? 3. No x-button to close tabs, only full tab groups?? 4. At least the tab moving seems to work properly unlike many other tab managers, but the cursor being that 4-pointed arrow is weird.

Nice extension, with compact view and customisable colours. Unfortunately it keeps opening on the left, no matter what was the latest position. It is also quite basic, no search/grouping from what I can see. Thanks for your work anyway, I hope it keeps evolving
