User reviews
Pros
- Automatically saves sessions when changes occur, providing timely backup without unnecessary copies.
- Can restore tabs and window sessions, saving users from data loss after crashes or accidental closures.
- Supports Tree Style Tabs, accommodating users who organize tabs in a tree structure.
- Simple and effective UI/UX appreciated by some users as being user-friendly once understood.
- Helps manage large numbers of tabs better than default Firefox session manager or some competitors.
Cons
- Frequent loss of saved sessions reported, leading to permanent loss of tabs and windows.
- Performance issues including slowness during session restoration, especially with many tabs, and high CPU usage causing sluggish browsing.
- Limited or missing features such as inability to merge sessions, manage duplicate tabs, multi-tab operations, and no import/export from popular session managers.
- UI is outdated and sometimes buggy, including problematic icons and non-functional settings/preferences.
- Lack of synchronization across devices and unreliable behavior when enabling/disabling the extension, sometimes leading to session data loss.

It pisses me off.

Doesn't work at all. This extension is useless and can't save any session. Doesn't support private windows and GUI is buggy.
I don't get it what you have updated there 3 months ago, but it simply doesn't work.
