tabos is the best tool in my purchase. Compared to other applications, Tabos is something I always use because my work is connected to a web browser. thank you tabOS, organizing websites has become easier, my work has become more effective.

I wanted to love this extension. It seemed stable and robust, the layout is nice and and the concept is pretty slick, but the added value over what Chrome can already do is minimal (e.g. sidebar + tab grouping). The pricing is pretty high, likely due to the integrated AI, so it only make sense if you are replacing a ChatGPT Plus or CoPilot Pro subscription. The embedded ChatGPT widget is nicely done, but failed to generate a response when I tried a large prompt that worked on the official site. Moreover, a tabOS new tab can consume a lot of memory... a new tab with the ChatGPT widget consumed 1.2GB! I applaud the effort put into this extension, and I'm sure there are many who will love it. If you have not tried it, I see no reason not to, but overall it missed the mark for me.
