Does what it's supposed to do, except show the number of tabs on the little icon. Also have to remove the numbers when bookmarking something or it keeps them in. Overall not too bad, but still have to search for the full number of tabs open. So all it does basically, is label your tabs with a number, but not show the total number of tabs open like it says it's supposed to.

This does not work correctly on Arc browser. The number does not match tab index in a workspace.

Best version of this that exists (I've tried a few, but this is the most consistent and responsive)
