Recent reviews

The extension was extremelly useful formerly but now (when Chrome unloads tabs by itself) it became unuseable and needs a fix: Extension searches tabs with { status: "complete" } but nowadays a lot of tabs have { status: "unloaded" } instead so tabs with this status should be processed too.

Great extension but it does only find tabs in the current window.

Jonas Bülow, 2024-05-24

This extension is just awesome for people like myself who have a lot of open tabs both when using Chrome (Edge) at work and personal use. My only reservation is that I find another extension called The Marvelous Suspender indisposable, and Tab Ex doesn't allow me to extract tabs that have been suspended, so as an unintuitive workaround, I have to "wake" the tabs all up before performing tab extractions. I know that another comment already mentions this, but this is just to make the developers aware that compatibility with sleeping/suspended tabs is what would truly make this extension shine!
