Simple Tab Groups by Drive4ik

Rated 4 out of 5
by André luiz, 2 years agoMostly, it's kinda hard to manage a huge amount of groups and tabs, as you can't multi-select groups and tabs. It's really hard to move tabs around groups, organize the order of groups, delete multiple groups at once, etc. It's not as practical as it should be. And I think the UI is kinda outdated, though that's just aesthetics. But also, it is the only tab group extension I've seen that saves this much memory. You open a group and it doesn't load 60 tabs unless you specifically tell it to. For that alone, I don't switch from Firefox to Chrome (because Firefox mobile fucking sucks, at least on MIUI). I also like the praticality of deleting tabs from a group. You open the group and close the tab normally, it counts. For some reason other extensions are more convoluted than that, which is fucking nuts. And lastly, the backups are hit or miss. The automatic and manual local backups are great, but the bookmarks are really weird to me. Like, why doesn't it synchronize with current tabs (or at least have an option for that)? Instead, it adds the initial tabs and then keeps adding new ones infinitely. It's looks like a mess and I see no point in it. For me to get all my groups, as they currently are, as bookmarks, I have to delete the STG folder and wait for it to save again. That or I'd have to add every single one manually, but that's not viable.
I'd give it a 3 for lack of practicality when organizing shit, but it keeping me stuck on Firefox because of how useful it is makes it a 4.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 16291059, 3 days agoAlmost everything I could possibly want, and it almost brings Firefox up to parity with OperaGX's workspaces (though it surpasses it in others). Almost.
Pinned tabs and Firefox's native tab groups tend to 'leak' (for lack of a better term) through the groups in this extension. - Rated 4 out of 5by Gabiru, 3 days agoUnfortunately no longer working with Floorp browser version 144.0.2@12.3.5

- Rated 1 out of 5by Gluttony, 24 days agoI was loving this, until I lost all groups when coming back to work today, all was fine Friday... I'll try redoing them, and after looking in options I saw there are backup/restore options, I hope it works, else I'll have to fine something else.
Edit: finally I saw there are automatic backups and was able to restore last one, give 4 stars, not 5 that would have been if I did not lost all groups in the first time.
Edit again: I should have looked better, yes all my groups have been restored, counters of tabs seems good, but there are missing tabs, when I change group it just jumps to a tab keeping others (from other groups) open, and do other weird stuff... And now its even worse that before I restored... Too sad... - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 10019882, a month agoBasic functions work: in management mode, drag & drop one tab list item to another group; switch to group. The biggest problem is memory usage after long time usage of Firefox v 143 on a Mac Tahoe (not sure of other OS). The memory usage jumped from around 1GB to 7GB after upgrading MacOS to Tahoe version. In the background, must be keeping other OLD tabs in groups already closed but still open (not sure contents of pages already loaded). When I disabled this extension, suddenly more than 20 tabs popped out when total opened tab in all groups were about 7. Plus, Firefox now has implemented tab grouping feature same as Chrome: to collapse tabs into 1 group tab.

- Rated 4 out of 5by monkeypee, 2 months agoi keep having issues with previous session not opening, and normally i can just click "restore previous session" and it returns all the tabs to the correct groups but i had a guy clean my pc today and he didn't restore session before closing and reopening again (which makes the option dissapear). which left me with "reopen all tabs" in recently closed, and not only did it not restore them all, they were not in groups after restoring. well, the extension only made the experience slightly worse but i needed somewhere to vent i guess lol. becareful out there if you cherish your tabs

- Rated 5 out of 5by Jeremy, 3 months agoSimply the best tab manager these days. Have used it since release without issues.
- Rated 2 out of 5by MartinThomas, 3 months agoI originally gave this 5 stars, but as time went by it got more and more erratic. Maybe because I had many tabs open?
More and more often, large numbers of tabs would vanish; sometimes several groups would lose most of their tabs. I could usually get most of them back from the backups, but the tabs I had added within the last day would not come back.
