Thank you for making and keeping up this wonderful extension so far. It's been extremely useful and I've been able to stay within a manageable number of open tabs for a while thanks to it! I would truly hate to see it go because of Chrome's recent changes. But whatever happens, thank you so much up until now!

This is a wonderful extension to keep tabs in check. It gives you a reminder when you open one past your limit. You can customize the message it gives you when you do that, which I like. It's simple yet super effective. You can make it open a tab in a new window if you hit your first window's tab limit. 10/10, five stars. Glad I can use this on Microsoft Edge. :)
