User reviews

Users appreciate Tile Tabs WE for its instant tab tiling, customization options, and reliable support. It effectively splits tabs into multiple tiled windows to enhance workflow. However, several users find it creates separate windows rather than sub-windows, leading to clutter and management difficulties. Some report bugs such as broken resizing, workspace issues in Opera, and random tab selection in layouts. Despite some functionality hiccups and occasional crashes requiring reinstalling, many regard it as a powerful tool for tab management with features not found in similar extensions.

Pros

Instantly tiles existing tabs with a single click, making multitasking easier.
Highly customizable with features like bookmarking layouts and hiding tab or URL bars.
Good support from the developer with continuous updates and improvements.
Works effectively to split tabs into multiple screens or tiles.
Compared favorably to other tiling extensions and considered advanced by many users.

Cons

Creates separate windows for each tile instead of sub-windows within a single window, making management messy.
Some functionality stops working after a while, requiring removal and reinstallation to fix.
Issues with workspace integration, especially in Opera One, where tabs get misplaced between workspaces.
Resizing tiles by dragging borders sometimes doesn't work as expected.
Limited control over which tabs are included in certain tile layouts; tabs are chosen randomly without user selection.
