I just opened chrome and it showed me and empty tab. I tried with TabFern and it restored a backup from last month... so it's basically useless.

It's basic and straightforward in it's functionality but by periodically saving to a cloud drive it has a) saved my (figurative) bacon after many MacOS and Win10 crashes and b) allows me to pick up research where I left off from any other system. In fact automating those tab snapshots periodically is about the only thing I really miss (hint hint ;-)

С пользователем "Виктор-Оксана Андрушко" Не согласен. У меня Slimjet. При нажатии на значок расширения его всплывающее окно открывается во весь экран(монитор),НЕ удобно конечно,но через... несколько секунд (когда прогрузится всё сохранённое) окно принимает ранее заданные размеры. На Alt+Tab реакции расширения никакой Нет. Уважаемый разработчик,прикрути пожалуйста русский язык! Там же ж Не много надо(Dear developer, please tie the Russian language! In the same place Not much :) ;) ).

very similar to, but not as good as Tabs Outliner due to inability to close tabs from the overview window.

★★★★★ 5 stars alone just for undertaking this much work and effort into a solution to our tab hell in chrome :) AND on github too! Also looks like it could be a potential replacement/alternative for some of Session Buddy's features. I'm happy to see a tab manager inspired by TabsOutliner since I really did like that extension until I realized how horrible the licensing and support was. ("license" invalidated after first time I synced chrome to another device, 2yrs later still not fixed.) The author for that one got a lot of things right but so much wrong. Hopefully this will be a viable alternative to TabsOutliner without the licensing nonsense and annoying interface stuffs mentioned in another review. I'd much rather donate to a FOSS project than purchase a license for someones buggy obfuscated code. Maybe eventually a donation system could be put in place if one doesn't already exist. I'll follow up and edit this review as I use it more.

excellent What make this extension better than others is ability to take a backup file and add it to chrome after new windows installation

SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!! :D ok, maybe a bit too early for that, this still needs some work to adequately replace TO, but you are on the right track! Things I liked: - smaller tools overlay looks good - no annoying ad banner - proper setting page (looks great, just need more stuff in there :) ) - interface is clean and functional - it's much faster and less buggy Things I would really love to see: (even just as options for advance users) - option to open tabs on double click instead of single click - only open the tab clicked on, not the whole tree - a tree structure like the one on TO with the vertical lines and horizontal lines, it was quite helpful to be able to see the hierarchy - more compact design perhaps smaller or different fonts option and smaller icons (I suppose I could just zoom out the page but that doesn't do a clean job) - is it possible to make the scrollbar even narrower? (or just not show it at all while still keeping the page scrollable?) - customisation for the tab links representation (Loaded/unloaded/selected - option to see the memory usage of tabs next to their icon would be sweet I'll be running this side by side TO till TF catches up to TO. GO TF! :)

Лучшее расширение которое я на текущий момент нашёл для своих задач (перебирал их десятки). Отлично подходит для организации структурирования окон и вкладок, например, по проектам. Простое и отличное расширение выполняющее свои функции сохранения окон и вкладок в них в удобном структурированном виде.

One feature is crucially needed: saving of history of browsing in a tab.

Extremely basic compared to the venerable Tabs Outliner. BUT: It does not nag about paying - it supports backups to local disk - and top of all that it is *much* faster and no bugs. It's a keeper! Since TO is unusable these days, I gave TabFern a go. TabFern works magnificently and I immediately disabled the unusably buggy mess that is TO. I hope more features will come, for example: - Actual hierarchy of tabs (it only does 1 level currently). - Ability to move tabs between groups and/or restore a single tab (currently if a window with 50 tab is closed and you want to restore just 1, you cannot, need to open whole window with all tabs). - The extension icon/button shows no data, could show number of windows/tabs open/saved. - A single-click of a closed tab opens the whole window, if it is a window with 50 tabs you'll be slow for a while. - I'd rather have tab titles truncated to TabFern window width instead of a horizontal scrollbar. I hope the developer keeps at it. With the way TO is going we really need a better tab manager and this could be it.
