- Rated 5 out of 5by Dany A., 4 years agoБыло бы неплохо сделать поверх кнопки оверлей с количеством вкладок в активной группе. С учетом, что у некоторых их сотни.
It would be nice to make an overlay on the button: the number of tabs in the active group. Small but sufficient for three digits. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14143309, 4 years agoBest add-on for tab management. Maximizes usefulness while still helping you keep RAM usage low.

- Rated 2 out of 5by Chaos7703, 4 years agoLooks cool. I have no idea what it's doing other than creating new windows & making me worry that it's just going to lose the tabs I'm trying to save.

I have around 1k tabs, and this extension helps me organize them and restore upon session failure. - Rated 5 out of 5by jep, 4 years ago"Simple Tab Groups" has been an absolute game changer for my workflow. It is a very well thought-out extension that has allowed me to compartmentalize my work activities greatly. I normally have multiple windows open, separated by activity. In fact, I usually have upwards of 6 windows, with each averaging upwards of 20 tabs, for everything from different Jupyter Python projects to researching different topics to general web browsing. It was a nightmare keeping track of which was which, I lived in constant fear of losing papers or web resources I had found or of simply losing the structure I had in those windows, and the associated RAM usage would periodically slow my machines to a crawl. "Simple Tab Groups" has completely solved these issues.
ORGANIZATION: Simple Tab Groups allows you to name groups and, with the setting enabled, display their names in the window title. I can much more easily manage multiple windows by using these two features.
HISTORIES / ORGANIZATION: Tab groups are stored, with customizable backups created daily by default, so that I can quit Firefox or restart my machine and simply reopen the tab group with the tab structure I'd previously tailored. .
MEMORY: When RAM usage becomes an issue, I can simply close groups with the secure knowledge that I can easily reopen those groups when I need them again. There is also a specific option to save RAM when tabs are hidden, but I haven't found it necessary to use this option. Many of the groups I create are only needed once a week or less. I can now simply keep those windows closed until I come back around to that project, so that my RAM usage now generally stays low.
Finally, this extension also works well with Firefox's "Multi-Account Containers" extension. I have used both together for weeks with zero conflicts on either a Mac or Ubuntu 18. My only concern with this extension is that I am becoming highly reliant on it, and if Drive4ik ceases developing and supporting it, I would be hard-pressed to find a combination of trustworthy (i.e., Mozilla-recommended) tools that work as well as this one extension does. Thank you for your excellent work, Drive4ik! Would love to support you monetarily as well. - Rated 4 out of 5by helkav, 4 years agothis would be 5 if groups could be synced between devices along with your firefox login. otherwise it's really handy
- Rated 5 out of 5by tsimehcla, 4 years agoСамое полезное расширение FF для меня! Пока его не нашёл, пару лет сидел на старом FF V.4X т.к. в новых версиях не было этого замечательного дополнения.
Рекомендую! - Rated 5 out of 5by mandarin, 4 years agoVery useful for separating the tabs for different classes. Boosts my productivity by a lot through organization

- Rated 4 out of 5by Alex, 4 years agoThis is a great extension and I use it constantly, both for tab grouping and tab backups (which come useful with Firefox rarely being 100% stable for me). I have some comments about backup mechanism though:
- (quite major) I sometimes end up with a bunch of tabs not assigned to any group - and these don't get backed up! I have known about this for a while, but still it occasionally trips me up. It would be much better if the backup included "ungrouped" tabs as well, maybe in a new dummy group. This behaviour can be made optional if for whatever reason it's expected that someone might want to opt out.
- (minor) Backups don't save tab distribution between windows, so after crash I have to manually recreate windows and shuffle the tabs between them, but that's more of an inconvenience, as long as all tabs are restored.
And again, thank you very much! - Rated 5 out of 5by hashinclude72, 4 years ago
