User Reviews

Sea Containers is praised for improving tab organization within Firefox by offering a clear overview and acting as a Tab Groups replacement. However, multiple users report critical issues such as inaccurate tab counters per container, inability to move tabs between containers, and high CPU usage. The UI has minor aesthetic annoyances and some features like adding new containers are non-functional or confusing. Importantly, the add-on appears abandoned, with no responses to user issues for a prolonged period, diminishing its utility.

Pros

Provides a convenient visual overview of containers and open tabs within them, aiding organization.
Acts as a useful replacement for Tab Groups in Firefox 57 and above.
Helps users manage and organize tabs across multiple containers effectively.
Easy to open new tabs within containers, supporting workflow and tab management.
Enhances the container feature in Firefox with added functionality and user interface improvements.

Cons

Issues with counters for currently open tabs per container not updating correctly after tabs are opened and closed.
No functionality to move tabs between containers via drag-and-drop, right-click menu, or multi-select, limiting flexibility.
CPU utilization spiking to 100% when using the add-on, causing performance concerns.
The '+" button to add new container tabs does not function as expected, leading to user confusion.
Lack of active development and responsiveness from the developer, with issues remaining unresolved for over a year.

Is Sea Containers 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.

Sea Containers requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
