User reviews
Pros
- Highly effective tab manager that improves tab organization and focus by grouping tabs.
- Cleaner and easier to maintain separation of tab groups compared to Chromium-based browsers.
- Offers useful tools for better tab organization than other systems encountered.
- Backup options are available to restore tabs in case of issues.
- Widely appreciated and recommended by users for daily use.
Cons
- Unreliable performance reported by multiple users with tabs or tab groups being randomly deleted.
- Backup system not clearly communicated, causing confusion about recovery processes.
- Does not work properly on Firefox for Android due to tab logic differences.
- Incompatibility or issues with Firefox's native tab grouping system, including lack of hiding grouped tabs when switching groups.
- Lack of easy dark mode compatibility or simpler activation.
Recent reviews
This is THE tab manager I was looking for in Firefox. It took a bit to adjust and I thought I preferred the tab grouping I've used in chromium based browsers. But this is so much cleaner, easier to organize and reason with, and maintain a solid separation of concerns with tab grouping.

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.
