It's mostly a Tab Dumper. If you inadvertently go beyond your limit, it shuts your tab, and you may be left wondering, "what just happened"

New chrome update prevents extensions from automatically reopening old tabs. Manually opening from the stack still works.

I am definitely the type of person that likes to be hyper-organized. So having 18 tabs open on my computer can drive me a little insane sometimes, even though its necessary. This extension is a life-saver. It's so helpful when I'm doing my school work or just working on my personal writing projects at home. It made me do that little happy dance when I first started using it because I was so excited. Could it be improved? Of course. But everything can be improved somehow, and that shouldn't take away from this extension's capabilities. I absolutely love it, and will be using it every day. I highly recommend it for anyone who can be a little disorganized or likes to be a little too organized.
