User reviews

Users praise Link Map as a modern, visually appealing, and responsive alternative to Tabs Outliner, with active developer support. However, common issues include unreliable synchronization when closing tabs via the extension, absence of backup/session saving features resulting in lost tabs, incomplete advanced functionalities like multi-selection and import, and certain features locked behind a paywall. Overall, users find it promising but expect further improvements for stability and usability.
Pros
  • Provides a modern, streamlined alternative to Tabs Outliner, which is no longer maintained.
  • Fast, responsive, and visually appealing interface for tab management.
  • Offers hierarchical, tree-style tab and window management.
  • Developer is active and responsive, with ongoing improvements.
  • Supports multiple browsers and devices, including Yandex Browser and mobile platforms.
Cons
  • Closing tabs/windows from within the extension does not always sync with actual browser tabs, causing confusion.
  • Lack of backup or session saving features leads to loss of tabs/windows unexpectedly.
  • Some desired features like multi-selection, sorting, and import from Tabs Outliner are missing or incomplete.
  • Basic sidebar functionality is behind a paywall, which some users find unreasonable.
  • Extension can forget which tabs belong to which windows, leading to instability.

东西是好东西,但是侧栏收费挺离谱的,,,当然作者应该是觉得本插件使用应该是先奔着树状标签页来的,想要侧栏标签页的建议出门右转隔壁插件

It doesn't seem connected to actual browser, in that, when I try to close a tab or a window from within the Link Map tree, it just greys out the link in the tree, but doesn't close the actual tab or window. Anyone know a fix for this? Otherwise seems like a perfect replacement for Tabs Outliner which no longer works. If they can fix this one glitch I will start using using it and pay for premium. (Also would be nice if they could allow importing from Tabs Outliner HTML file, since exporting as JSON from TO is no longer an option since the extension broke.)

FINALLY a modern, streamlined update to Tabs Outliner. I bought a license within 2 minutes of downloading it. Love that you can have it pop up in a sidebar.
