Review Summary
Users appreciate that Tab Colorizer is a lightweight and simple extension for coloring tab icons with useful shortcut features, working well for some on Chrome. However, many are frustrated that it does not color the actual tabs as its name suggests, only icons, with colors disappearing after refresh or restart. Inconsistency and compatibility issues with some browsers are common complaints, along with intrusive extension behavior. Overall, performance varies greatly and several users consider it ineffective or misleading.
Pros
- Simple and lightweight tool to organize open tabs.
- Effective when functioning, allowing users to color the tab icon.
- Works well on Chrome for certain users.
- Keyboard shortcut customization available and helpful for applying colors.
- Some users find it exactly meets their needs for tab icon colorization.
Cons
- Does not actually change the tab color, only the favicon/icon color, leading to confusion and misnaming.
- Colors do not persist after refreshing or restarting the browser.
- Does not work consistently; many users report it as non-functional.
- Incompatible with some browsers like Vivaldi and Chrome Remote Desktop causing errors.
- Annoying behavior such as opening an instruction page as the home page without an option to disable it.
