2023-11-27 CherryChef The timer feature is a very nice addition all in all the most comprehensive tab manager out there saves me from crashes when I have too many tabs can't go without it now. Thank you for making tab hoarding manageable!
2023-09-17 CodeIcannot This is an interesting add-on, that sounds good 'on paper', but has some issues, too. Its functionality is great - you can set up rules by which to auto-close tabs, and also revive them from a backlog, if need be. However, the user-interface is really clunky, and the add-on comes with really weird default rules. You are more than likely to wipe out ALL your tabs (without warning!) before you figure out how to correctly setup everything. For this reason, I would only recommend trying this out on a completely "blank" browser. I wish someone would pick up this project and truly make it shine, because at its core, it does a good job.

2023-06-29 Ernst Hot Its default settings of closing everything older than 20 mins but only remembering 100 tabs (WHY?!?) threw away a bunch of my tabs. The ones I could re-open didn't open in the window they were in originally.
2023-05-09 Firefox user 15184708 A very nice addon, BUT: it installs enabled and can f your session up. Should install disabled and let you play with the settings before doing anything.
