Pretty neat and simple (89KB), but not too simple! Just what I need! 'Uses the built-in sync API', that's good. Some eye candy would be nice including dark themed because add-ons always run better with eye candy😉 [later] On activation the restore 'clean' check box, it removes pined tabs, so an option to prevent that would be nice too!
