User reviews

The app says to use "Ctrl + Shift + A" to activate the extension, but that shortcut is already a Chrome shortcut to open the search All Tabs. The extension needs a different shortcut to activate.

I love the idea but ctrl+shift+A opens a chrom command to search tabs :( so I can't activate it and there's no way to do it manually. Looks like it's amazing if you can make it work tho :/
