User reviews
Pros
- Allows easy and clean management and switching between tab groups.
- Helps users focus on tasks by organizing tabs into groups, reducing clutter.
- Provides useful tools to organize tabs better than other systems.
- Widely appreciated for its user-friendly interface and functionality.
- Seen as a superior alternative to built-in or Chrome tab grouping solutions.
Cons
- Loss of tab groups after updates, causing data loss and needing restoration from JSON backup files.
- Unreliable at times; some users report the extension randomly deleting all tab groups without warning.
- No option to select backup file locations; backups are saved in the download folder by default.
- Doesn't work on Firefox for Android due to different tab logic.
- Sidebar loading issues requiring reopening to function properly.

Recently Firefox added its own tab grouping feature that could synergize really well with this extension, but unfortunately there's a bug:
When you create a Firefox group it also creates group collapse button for it, and when you switch to another STG group, it hides the grouped tabs but not that collapse button.
Hope it gets patched, because it's a bit janky and annoying.

Funktion Top, einfacher Wechsel zwischen Tab-Gruppen und Managen der Tabs. Aber bei Updates schon zweimal die Tab-Gruppen verloren und nun nur noch in der JSON-Sicherung wiederfindbar und nicht importierbar oder so

Extension safety
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.
Simple Tab Groups requires a lot of sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious.
This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on
Firefox Browser Add-ons, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been
around, and other signals about the
Firefox add-on. 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.
Simple Tab Groups has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
Risk likelihood analysis details
