    seems like a onetab open source alternative

    Love the addon. I've tried a lot of others and they were too buggy or unintuitive. This is simple and effective and doesn't use RAM. Love it. Cheers!

    It has some issues yet, but has more features and already/{probably will be} more ergonomic than OneTab .

    Thanks for the review. Happy to discuss those issues over on GitHub.

    I really like this add-on. It isn't the slickest, but it is the most useful tabs add-on I've tried. I really like that it tracks changes to an active session. It is exactly what I've been looking for. Hope it catches on so the development continues.

    Thanks for the review! Development will of course continue, just at a slower pace for now.

    This is a very good and helpful add-on,here's a five-star review so you keep good work going,Also I have a suggestion. I would like to see a feature that lets you drag any tab or tabs to a specific session.Although I know that you can add it by right-clicking and choose what session you want.It'll be awesome.Otherwise the add-on does what it should do and is very helpful,keep the good work!

    Edit after developer response: I just noticed that if I want to add a single tab to a new session I can't,It has to be an already saved session,Can you add this option in the right-clicking menu when you right click a tab?,and also thanks for your response. If you can't add dragging tabs feature it's not a problem,But consider adding the option I wrote earlier in this edit if you can.Thanks!

    Thanks for the review! If you have active sessions enabled you can move tabs to the window of such a session and it will be added. Dragging tabs to the sidebar is as far as I know not possible to implement.

    Edit: You can now create new sessions from the tab context menu

    It used to be good, now the "stored in a folder" thing made it a joke. I don't need an app to do that, it's just ridiculous.

    Seriously, this is plain stupid, I hope an alternative pops up soon.

    I think there might be a misunderstanding... Tabs Aside has always stored the tabs that you set aside in a bookmark folder, there has never ever been a version that did not do this. I think this approach makes sense since the user has full control over the data. There are however other (similar) extensions that do not use bookmarks for storage.

    I just wish I could change keybinds or turn them off so I never accidentally hit them

    You can edit (and disable) keyboard shortcuts with Firefox. Unfortunately the feature is a little bit hidden. Go to about:addons and click the cog button below the search. There should be an entry "Manage extension shortcuts". Hope this helps ;)

    This is a lifesaving extension -- it's transformed my approach to browsing. It's a little rough around the edges but generally very functional. An additional feature that would make a huge difference would be to have the ability to sort sessions you've set aside, either manually or automatically.

    Thanks for the review! Although you can not do it through the extensions UI you can sort sessions (and the tabs within) using the browsers bookmark manager (Ctrl+Shift+B). I want to implement session reordering using drag-n-drop in the sidebar at some point though.

    UI is not streamlined, takes many clicks. Icon does not work with dark theme (invisible). I do not like the persistent notification/counter for tabs sessions. It takes no less than 4 clicks to remove a session.

    Thanks for the review. The extension will now automatically choose the light/dark icon depending on your theme. With default settings (windowed mode) Tabs Aside will not show anything on the browser action badge. There have been some UI improvements with more to come.
