Review Summary
TabMate is praised for its tab organization, naming, and drag-and-drop management features that enhance productivity and reduce clutter. Users find it easy to use and better than similar extensions, supporting pinned and suspended tabs effectively. However, many reviews highlight issues such as the browser window closing unexpectedly when saving or stashing, causing workflow disruption; a hard-to-read UI with light fonts and icons; lack of import/export functionality; memory-intensive tab restoration that can crash Chrome; and limited multi-tab selection and drag-and-drop capabilities.
Pros
- Helps organize and save browser tabs efficiently, with options to stash and restore them.
- Allows naming of tab collections or sessions for easy identification.
- Supports drag and drop within the extension to manage tabs between stashes.
- The extension is easy to use and provides a neat interface compared to competitors.
- Works well with pinned and suspended tabs, maintaining session state effectively.
Cons
- Clicking "Save Window" or stashing closes the browser window unexpectedly, causing loss of workflow.
- The UI design has issues such as light text color and pale icons, making it hard to read and causing eye strain.
- Lacks important features like import/export of saved tab sessions to files for backup or transfer.
- Memory management on restoring stashed windows causes all tabs to reload while unsuspended, leading to potential browser crashes.
- Multiselection of multiple tabs (e.g., with Shift) and more flexible drag and drop is missing.
