Worked great as part of my tab organization toolbox, up until today. Used it to count/limit the amount of tabs I had per window. New update killed all but 10 of the 400+ tabs I had open. Doesn't show the number of tabs per window anymore. Closed all my tabs individually, so the Chrome history function was unable to restore all the tabs in my windows. "Recently discarded tabs" only showed up to 100. Even after saving the max number of tabs as 50, restoring tabs after Chrome closed still killed everything but 10 tabs (again). Hopefully you can fix the bugs, but I'm too stressed from losing tabs to use it right now.

September 1, 2024 update broke it (today). You can't set the tabs on the pop-up. It opens an entire page (which doesn't work). Uninstalled after 5 years of use.
