User reviews

Simple Tab Groups is praised for its robust tab organization features and is considered a lifesaver by many users compared to other systems. However, it suffers from reliability issues including random deletion of tabs and backup files that are confusing to manage or lost altogether. Users recommend clearer communication about backups and better integration with Firefox's own tab groups. Despite drawbacks, it remains a popular extension appreciated for its functionality and ease of use.

Pros

Highly effective for organizing and managing browser tabs, considered life-changing by users.
Includes useful tools that surpass other tab management systems.
Backup feature exists allowing recovery of tabs if issues occur.
Well-loved by users who used it before Firefox's own tab groups feature.
Simple and easy to use extension.

Cons

Unreliable at times, with frequent incidents of losing all tabs or tab groups without warning.
Backup functionality is confusing or insufficiently communicated; backups can be lost or erased.
Backup files are saved in inconvenient locations (e.g., Downloads folder) with no option to change location.
Compatibility issues with Firefox's native tab groups; does not always hide grouped tabs correctly.
No dark mode or easier way to enable dark mode compatibility.

Un module vraiment essentiel pour Firefox, un grand merci aux devs ! Ca serait super qu'en complément de la nouvelle MAJ Firefox des "tab groups", les tab groups soient propres à chaque groupe du module. Par exemple, si j'ai un tab groups "réseaux sociaux" dans mon groupe "privé", j'aimerais ne pas le voir dans mon groupe "travail", plutôt que de voir un tab groups vide.

Fixfox devs should have taken inspiration from this extension instead of copying chrome groups. This extension is truly life changing.
