| 2023-10-27 |  | | This app worked great for me and despite the inconvenience of having to click into the address bar before typing, i got used to it over the 3 years during which I used the app. However, I am trying to import a backup file I had imported earlier and cant figure out how. I would also like to know how to transfer the notes to a different computer (tried coping the extensions folder from C:\Users\[User_Name]\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Profile 2\Extensions\mhgiefelomcdfcdbknkkohpibdpbdhmo\ and that's not working). Any help will this will be appreciated. Thanks! Please feel free to reach out to [email protected] | |

| 2022-11-26 |  | | It's a very useful extension, especially because it saves all the text notes till they are manually removed. I'm reserving one star though, because the extension takes over the focus on Ctrl+t (new tab) and since "note" is not my primary reason to open a new tab, I end up having to click inside the address bar to start typing the search term or the url, which is a MAJOR problem with this extension. In fact between the extension taking control of the address bar, if you started typing in the address bar, half of it goes in the tab note, and if you shift focus again to address bar, the tab note gets saved with that partial url, or search term, which is a noise. At least there should be an option to configure that behavior on/off. Otherwise, and excellent app. | |

| 2022-09-04 | | | I love it! but I have 1 suggestion. Allow the keyboard to stay focused to the address bar. I habitually hit CTRL+T and start typing a web address or search query. This is no longer possible with Tab Notes. :( | |

| 2021-08-16 | Nick Berger | | Excellent light app, always available. Would be good if it were possible to choose between Tab Note or default when opening new tab | |
