User reviews

Users appreciate the extension's ease of use, customization of keyboard shortcuts, and privacy-friendly design. It notably improves tab navigation and duplication workflows. However, multiple users find its functionalities limited, especially lacking support for certain key combinations and advanced tab management like tab groups and window manipulation. Requests indicate a desire for more comprehensive shortcut options and better integration with Chrome's existing tab and bookmark features.

Cons

Limited functionality: can't set some desired shortcuts like for URL bar selection or tab groups manipulation.
Cannot assign shortcuts involving certain keys/modifiers like the fn key or some symbols, limiting customization.
Lack of advanced features such as moving tabs to new windows or multiple monitor support.
Does not allow fully deleting existing default Chrome shortcuts, reducing flexibility.
Some important shortcuts for tab group management and bookmarking all tabs are missing.
