Review Summary
SimpleTabOrder is praised for its straightforward and effective tab management, notably maintaining usability after Chrome updates that broke similar extensions. Users appreciate the option to open tabs at desired positions and the reliability during browsing sessions. However, multiple users report problems with tab ordering inconsistencies after browser restarts, difficulties when tabs are manually rearranged, and minor usability issues like lack of quick-settings access and occasional lag when opening background tabs. Concerns about future support due to outdated extension manifest were also noted.
Pros
- Simple and functional interface that works as expected.
- Effectively manages new tab positioning and tab activation after closing tabs.
- Compatible with recent Chrome updates (especially version 91) unlike many alternatives.
- Supports opening new tabs at the far right or next to the current tab, enhancing productivity.
- Free from virus warnings and trusted by users.
Cons
- Inconsistent behavior after browser restarts; tabs may reorder unexpectedly or get reversed.
- Issues occur when manually moving tabs; extension may misbehave or not recognize tab positions correctly.
- Lacks a convenient quick-access popup for changing settings; users must open the settings page.
- May be laggy or briefly switch to new tabs when opening in background at the far right.
- Extension might not be updated to Manifest V3, raising future compatibility concerns.
