ITS MARVELLOUS
by Krstia no, 2024-11-20

WARNING! Sadly Recent forced Chrome update completely fk'd this amazing ext, now when restart chrome many suspended tabs end up as new tabs, very frustrating losing my tabs! PLEASE FIX. WORK-AROUNDs: - Go to Recent Tabs and reopen them manually - Use the extension's Built-in session manager to retrieve lost tabs (doesn't preserve groups though) - Bookmark all open tabs session before closing chrome

Was 5-star for years but recently anything in a tab group doesn't restore properly, making it a mess of unusable tabs. I can hit "back" on most of them to get back to the suspended page but when you have hundred(s) of tabs.... nope. Please update and fix our beloved TMS extension!
