stupenda, meglio di session buddy, un po' troppo caro il pro, e mancanza di un abbonamento lifetime

This is actually the first time I, a hardcore libre software advocate, considered using a paid version, because the extension is invaluable. I'm a tab-session "power user" - I have six Firefox profiles with tens of sessions with hundreds of tabs each, thanks to old Firefox-only extensions that made it possible. So this was the one extension that allowed me to use Brave (a libre and privacy-first Chromium-based browser) at all. Contrary to all my expectations, this one does not have an idiotic UI, it does not crash, it does not lose data, it does not change its interface on every major release, it does not require manually backing up the whole browser profile in case something goes wrong - quite the opposite, it will work and import your tabs even after a browser apocalypse. And it even suggests creating a backup automatically! I feel like this is the first time I see a developer who knows what backups are, and understands that when dealing with user data, it is really important to make sure that no matter what happens, users can always access their data. I think 5 sessions is enough for a normal user, and if they rely on sessions heavily, then this becomes their essential tool, so it makes sense to pay for it - it's not even very expensive. I was waiting for years for someone to create an extension for sessions in Chrome-based browsers, and finally there is one person who did. There is no libre alternative - and no alternative at all. "Normal people" can even use it for free! And make sure it actually works well and fits their workflow before having to use a paid version.

Session management without the ability to sandbox the sessions is useless. Yes, there are some tab hoarders which will love to see their tabs neatly groupped and saved, but having separate, sandboxed sessions for each tab (or a group of tabs) is a must, especially if you are a developer, do a support of different applications, work in marketing with multiple social media accounts, etc. And yes, I know that you can have different profiles in the paid versions, but that is just hiding the already tragic user juggling situation that Chrome offers. Different users in a browser is useful only if you have to share your computer with somebody else, or have a need for work and private accounts. But, who does it anymore? And having this option hidden behind a paywall is even more problematic. If you need it, you can have the same results with two separate extensions --- Edited after the response from Mr. Kiyanovsky: First, thanks for the answer. By "sandboxed sessions", I mean separting the site session context in the same browser, but different tabs. The most simple example is, say, be able to login to some site with different usernames. Yes, using different user profiles does this, but it is awkward and, if you have a lot of sites/accounts to separate, quickly becomes difficult to manage. I am a developer in a mid-size development team for ERP apps, and we need to have different sessions for each of our customers, when doing development or support. I have a friend with a marketing agency, and they need separate sessions for working with social media sites (e.g. Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, etc.) for them and for their different clients (each of them having a different accounts). https://sessionbox.io/ is one good example, there is MultiLogin, etc. I am not associated with them, except being their user. You have good foundation here, just add this feature, and it'll be a winner! --- Edit 2: Here is an extension we use every day, and it separates sessions from tab to tab, in a same browser window. It's called MultiLogin, can be downloaded here: https://chrome-stats.com/d/ijfgglilaeakmoilplpcjcgjaoleopfi/download Unfortunately, the original author(s) didn't upgrade it to Manifest 3, so it got kicked out of the Chrome Web store. We are still using it, though, as a side load

Gets corrupted often, and on top of that they are basically killing the free version. Who would want an extension to save 5 closed sessions! I was considering supporting the devs but the extension has gotten worse over time. Once the update goes through this is a dead extension for 90% of the users as even the plus version doesn't have cloud saves which is the only way to deal with the extension getting corrupted, would recommend jump ship now instead of supporting these greedy devs.

I was using this extension faithfully for a very long time... Unfortunately, the extension got corrupted a few days ago. When I 'repaired' it, I found that my entire tab history going back over YEARS had been deleted!!! I shook my head and thought: "Oh well, these things happen sometimes, it can't be helped." Then I saw the update saying that the unlimited free accounts were causing the devs to lose money, so they were changing it so it can only save five closed sessions. I was willing to give it another go with a Plus (or even Pro) subscription. However, before I could even do that, TabXpert suddenly stopped working. I rebooted my computer and looked at my Chrome Extensions page, and found that TabXpert had become corrupted AGAIN!!! I 'repaired' it, again, and I lost all the new tabs I had saved from the past few days. I can no longer trust TabXpert to work properly, so I am no longer willing to sign up for the premium version. If the extension gets corrupted so easily, it means there's something wrong with the code, so even if I pay money, it will not be worth it if I keep losing my saved tabs. This is really too bad, because this extension was such a godsend for me for a really long time. I will just have to go looking for a new tab-saving extension that actually works, and doesn't crash like this. (I have now switched to Tab Keeper by jgeorge.dev which is "Free Forever & Open Source".)

Oh no, used to be free but new update will make it only be able to save 5 closed sessions. Not fit for my purposes anymore, jumping ship unfortunately! It did work great. Best to the devs, I get it, but still for me, very sad :(

After the next update, the extension will only allow 5 closed sessions on the free plan (previously, unlimited), which makes this extension useless without paying money on an ongoing basis (which I'm not willing to do for such basic functionality). Nobody needs such an extension to manage 5 closed sessions.
