User Reviews
"Limit Tabs" is praised for effectively controlling tab overload and improving browser speed, especially beneficial for users with ADHD or autism. Its simple design and customization options are appreciated. However, multiple users mention confusing settings language, absence of any lock to prevent limit changes, lack of sound volume control, and inconsistent handling of pinned tabs. There is also a noted workaround around per-window limits. Overall, it is a well-liked tool that aids users in managing tab chaos despite some usability and feature limitations. Pros
- Effectively limits the number of open tabs, helping users manage tab hoarding and improve browser responsiveness.
- Helps users with attention difficulties, such as autism or ADHD, keep better control over their browsing.
- Simple and thoughtful design that performs its intended function well.
- Offers customization options for tab limit enforcement across windows and tab removal strategies.
- Positive impact on system performance by preventing excessive tabs from slowing down the computer.
Cons
- Settings language can be confusing, particularly about how the maximum tab number is interpreted and phrasing of options.
- No ability to lock or password-protect the tab limit, allowing users to change or disable the limit at any time.
- Lack of volume control for the alert sound, which can be too loud or annoying for some users.
- The add-on sometimes does not count pinned tabs toward the limit, leading to inconsistent behavior.
- Potential workaround to bypass per-window limits by opening new windows and dragging tabs between them.

Is Limit Tabs Safe?
Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.
Limit Tabs does not require any sensitive permissions.

Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious.

Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.
