User reviews
Extensioner is praised for effectively organizing Chrome extensions into user-defined groups with an easy-to-use interface and drag-and-drop support. Users find it especially helpful for managing many extensions. However, it lacks synchronization or export/import features, resulting in repetitive setup across devices. UI issues like scrolling problems and limitations in activating individual extensions within groups were commonly mentioned. Suggestions for improvements include better status indicators and backup options. Overall, it serves as a practical tool with room for enhancement in cross-device syncing and interface polish.
Pros
- Allows organization of extensions into groups, aiding management.
- Easy to use with a clean, intuitive interface.
- Supports drag and drop for managing extensions within groups.
- Efficient tool for users with many extensions.
- Enables quick enabling/disabling of groups of extensions.
Cons
- Lacks synchronization or export/import features across devices or profiles.
- User interface issues such as scrolling problems with long group lists that affect accessibility.
- Does not support manual activation/deactivation of individual extensions within groups.
- No native backup or cloud save, causing repeated setup on multiple devices.
- Some minor UI improvements suggested, like markers for categorized extensions and clearer status labels.

Almost completely satisfied. Just a few suggestions
On the full extension list (left side) please put a small marker next to ones that have already been assigned to a category. This would supplement what it does now, highlighting member categories when the cursor passes over the ext name.
A tick mark to the left of the name would indicate status (categorized or not) at a glance for all exts making it much quicker and easier to get that info. Nothing fancy, maybe just a small dot.
Another good idea is, where it currently shows status "(disabled)" include a label "(*enabled*)" in bold for enabled exts.
Possibly a good idea 1. would be show the date originally installed. 2. brief comment field.
One last thing, consider adding a small time delay from when the cursor passes over the category names and when the contents pops up. This would make it easier on the eyes.
OK one last thing. Indent the ext description about 10px to the right edge of the ext icon. This would make the icon stand out better. In fact, you could fill that space with the tick or dot mentioned above.
This is a very practical extension manager that works as it should. Very happy with it but would like to see these enhancements. Thank you for putting in the effort.

Simply the best B)
Could you please make it possible to sync it (it's the only major drawback that'd help a lot),
either
- auto backup/config to a folder/file (that people can sync/backup for themselves)
- use chrome's profile/account extension sync (if possible)
