Review Summary
Tab Thumbnails is praised for improving tab management by showing previews, especially in fullscreen mode, and offering customization for thumbnail size and activation. However, multiple users experience issues with thumbnails not rendering properly, an awkward interface for activation, missing previews for unloaded tabs, and occasional instability. Despite flaws, many find it efficient and useful for handling numerous tabs visually.
Pros
- Allows users to see tab previews, making it easier to manage many open tabs.
- Helps with switching tabs in fullscreen mode.
- Quick and fluid performance without lag for most users.
- Customizable settings such as thumbnail size and activation methods.
- Useful for users who struggle with tab titles, providing visual context.
Cons
- Thumbnails sometimes fail to render correctly, showing only text instead of images.
- Clunky and awkward interface for showing and hiding thumbnails; activation areas can be too small.
- Does not produce blank previews for unloaded tabs, leading to missing thumbnails.
- Instability reported on some systems, working inconsistently for some users.
- Lack of additional customization for appearance, such as color adjustments, limits user experience.
