- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18599042, 2 months agoBeen a fan since 2020. But now workona is awfull.
Slow, rearrange and duplicate some tabs, doesn't save others. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14652279, 4 months ago
- Rated 2 out of 5by TompiDev, 6 months agoHmmm... NOTHING is cleared for free users! You will only find out what the restrictions are if you are already using the application. The FAQ doesn't say anything either, there are only links to the price list, where there is only the list from the PRO version. Today, the price of PRO is 7€/month, which I consider a bit excessive. Payment is ONLY possible by credit card! No thanks!

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14376884, 9 months agoOttimo add-on per gestione e salvataggio delle schede aperte (grazie a questa estensione a volte salvo le pagine da vedere in seguito come tabs invece che come segnalibri, risparmiando del tempo)
- Rated 1 out of 5by Voynich, a year agoAwfull. Worst addon i ever tried.
Slow, duplicate some tabs, doesn't save others: it looks great, but it's a WASTE OF TIME (and tabs...) to try to make it work.
I uninstalled this plague.
Plague? Really? Oh yes : even if unactivated and uninstalled (yes, i followed the intructions), somehow it still adds his url in some of my new tabs, slowing all my navigation with this... don't know... it looks like it synchronize my tabs with workona's server before to properly load them on the FF user interface... I'm logged off, it's uninstalled, and apparently it still has connections with my FF. It LOOKS LIKE A VERY SERIOUS CONFIDENTIALITY ISSUE.
I don't know how to get rid of this. I probably wlll have to save everything i can, uninstall FF and reinstall it.
I already did lost a lot of work and time by using this addon in order to save time, and this nightmare is not over.
Don't even try this. Never. Please.Developer response
posted a year agoWe sincerely apologize for your poor experience. However, you are misunderstanding the nature of the behavior you're seeing.
One of the benefits of Workona is reduced browser memory usage. You can see our blog post about the original motivation for this feature here: https://medium.com/@qmorgan/keeping-chrome-light-on-its-feet-3f80ac2a3792
You have full control over this feature and its settings. By default, we open tabs in a suspended state in order to be able to restore your previous tabs nearly instantly — even if you had 100 tabs open in that space. If you click on a tab, it's immediately redirected to your URL. There is nothing going on on those pages besides a simple Javascript redirect (which you can verify yourself).
Using a web URL instead of an extension URL makes it a far better experience than other tab suspender extensions, since if you uninstall an extension, those suspended tabs stop working entirely. In other words, the fact that you are still being redirected to your actual tabs (one more time, per tab) after already uninstalling the extension is precisely why we do it that way. As our CTO put it:
"You can start using it today and stop using it whenever you want, without fear of losing any of your suspended tabs (plus, it will also repair any broken Great Suspender tabs it finds)."
Regarding the tabs you lost, we have multiple mechanisms to help users restore in situations like this, so please reach out to our support team for help: workona.com/contact - Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 13700330, a year agoAdd-on deleted my previously saved tabs from a few months ago.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12775621, a year agoÓtimo, estava precisando organizar as minhas abas com o workspace.
- Rated 1 out of 5by kowodo, a year ago- Lost my work and tabs when moving tabs from one space to another - plugin is buggy
- very slow when switching spaces with more tabs (about 30 seconds each time for me)
- sometimes I open space and the tabs are not showing up in browser. So I have to switch to another space only then the tabs from previous space shows up .... its buggy. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 18109531, a year agoI love the fact of having different concrete and distinct spaces. This allows me to smoothly transition from one state to another, while allowing me to be very focused when I am in one space.
There are still some bugs that needs to be fixed, and some initial struggles with working together with persistent pins. But once I fixed it, I've loved using this extension since. - Rated 5 out of 5by SA, a year agoSept 2023 review: I started with the free version years ago and immediately loved the concept. I have always struggled with keeping bookmarks organized and tried countless ways to save them in a way that made it easy to find what I wanted, but nothing helped until Workona. It was a radically new way to handle tabs I'd never seen before. In the early years, changes by browsers would cause issues with Workona but that hasn't been a problem for over a yr now. I upgraded to the paid version and can't imagine how I ever lived without it. This is the first product that has ever helped me save tabs in a way that makes it simple to find what I want since the invention of the internet. It did have some rocky moments in the early years but now it is an elegant and seamless solution. MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL IS THEIR PRIVACY POLICY - I WILL NOT USE A PRODUCT, NO MATTER HOW "GOOD" IT IS, IF THEY HARVEST MY DATA. My last job was handling security for Linux servers so I often use tools to see exactly what my extensions are sending back and forth and Workona is safe for those of us who value privacy above all else.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 5995950, 2 years agoIf you are looking to completely, radically change your experience and relationship with tabs, this is the browser add-on (suite) for you. I found myself unable to truly master it until I paid for the premium features, but was worth it for me. I used the free version for many months before then.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Homayoon, 2 years agoYou cannot use the add-on without an account. Is that really necessary?
