Very useful and allows me to quickly scroll and change tabs, when I remember what ones I'm looking for. I just wish it didn't crash itself when trying to side by side panel it with fullscreen chrome on mac.

Very well made. I am using in chrome and brave browser where vertical tabs havent arrived like edge browser. (All above browsers are based on same chromium engine). I dont know why chromium and firefox browsers havent brought vertical tabs. Using horizontal tabs is good but when number of tabs exceed the display size, one needs to opt for vertical tabs. But my only is concern is that it chooses to open up in poup and I cant find a way to choose between open up in sidebar (always, irrespective of system page or homepage) or in popup. Please give us that option. Also consider updating it in 2022. I like search tabs feature. Dark mode is excellent. Size and width and size of font and display is well made. Worth using. But the concerns raised needed to be resolved. Thanks.

It is acting really weird...

It forces the browser window to full screen. Very inconvenient.

I think this will be a nice add-on to the Chrome browser but it isn't ready for primetime. Will keep it running to see how I acclimate to it. Good Potential. Dark theme is modern looking and appealing. A couple of improvements I would like to see. 1) It is too narrow. Even though I uncheck or check "Auto Minimize" it makes no difference. When closed it will always open too narrow for me and I have to stretch it. 2) Show Pinned tabs has no effect other than to remove horizontal bar between pinned tabs and open tabs. 3) Although I have auto-minimize selected, extension does not minimize when tab launched. 4) Would prefer it did not clutter my taskbar.

Vertical Tab is added next to window, I note that another user has mentioned this and the dev has said this is because of a limitation of Chrome. If so, then why do other vertical tab extensions solve this problem? Having the tabs on the left of my screen outside the browser causes problem with my desktop layout, as i have my mac dock on the left of the screen, the pop-out window holding the tabs interferes with it, hiding behind it, always snapping to top-left 0, 0.

The tab window shows all tabs open in the browser, not just the tabs of the window you are looking at, this leaves it being messy and unorganised. As I organise my work by window.

This was great up until about three weeks ago. I loved being able to easily see all my tabs and close the plethora of tabs that I wind up leaving open throughout the day. The issue is a few weeks back the titles of pages stopped showing up in the window, making it impossible to use it to navigate anything.

EDIT: The updated version of the application has been working perfectly. Rating has been updated. Thanks for the swift resolution!

Did not work on Windows with a widescreen.
Vertical tab window is added next to the main window rather than embedded into it.
Tab titles were not showing.

I find it very useful; unlike other (more popular) extensions, it loads the tabs immediately with no performance hit on the browser - regardless of how many tabs are opened (I've got 148 tabs currently).

I also like the way that the author has styled the "New Tab" button with the "Search" button, switching from new tab to search mode makes for a very seamless UEX. Congratulations!

Also, the option to display pinned tabs fixed on top (non-scrollable) is excellent.

IMHO, a few things would make this a perfect five-star add-on:
- Make the width + height of the side bar configurable (and retain its value!) - currently it's possible to resize the side bar by dragging the mouse from any edge; but when closed & reloaded, it assumes its default values;
- Allow rearranging tabs by dragging & dropping within the side bar (in short, changing the tab order with the mouse) - and to reflect that in the browser's horizontal tabs as well - I'm having to rely on a third extension (tab manager plus) just for that;

And last but not least, a "nice to have" feature would be to have the ability to "hook" into the browser's mouse events, in order to allow for the side bar to toggle on/off, e.g., display the side bar when the mouse cursor is at one of the browser's viewport edges (left or right, depending on where the side bar is set to appear) and hide the side bar when the mouse is moved away. So that it's more "integrated" into the browsing experience (and avoid users having to click the extension to do that).
