🚀Release notes
Nov 3, 2020: Tabb’s search function now uses less memory.
meh, it’s a sexy extension but with no parametrization, can’t even set my own shortcuts, can’t even force a nap tab. QuickTabs is still the winning horse.
Personally, I find this extension quite useless for the most part. I found out about it on the website where people mentioned that it might be a similar extension to The Great Suspender — TGS became shady because of the tracker in new versions. That being said, TGS was a great tabs suspending tool. When I saw Tabbs I thought about a clean and convenient tabs extension with slick UI. Also, it stated that it has TabsNap (which is suspension tool as I understood).
After the download I realized — Tabbs is not a tool I was seeking for and expecting to get. Now let’s stick to pros and cons.
Cons:
1. It is a tabs manager but there is no way to group tabs which is a really convenient way to, well, manage tabs Group function is essential for me.
2. The search function is kind of broken: you can’t find what you are looking for if the tab is napping (heh). I’ve tested it and it worked out as I just explained.
3. Shortcuts are broken for me. For some reason, I can just open Tabbs and close tabs in it but that’s it. I can’t mute and pin. Also, it’s strange that you can’t do all of that without opening the extension.
4. Feels like the design was done just for the sake of visuals without the consideration of the UX — indeed, the app looks nice but it hurts the UX. For example, the settings are useless. There are no settings or whatsoever. You can’t remap keybindings, TabNap could be a toggle instead of the separate page and shortcuts — instead — could be inside the extension. Settings aren’t settings because it’s impossible to customize the extension. By the way, current Settings popup looks bad.
5. I understand that the devs are using Apple products but why do they push it for everyone? I’m using Windows, so why do I see shortcuts for Apple computers inside the extension? Couldn’t you make separate icons panel with these shortcuts for both Windows and Apple? Not a big deal and it breaks the flow. Also, that is a bad design.
6. For some reason, Tabbs starts navigating you between tabs from right to left. I don’t know why the devs did it this way because the default way of opening new tabs is left to right.
7. Adding to the bad points of design: you can’t move tabs. You need to do it as usual if you want to organize the tabs. That is a must have feature.
8. It’s a minor detail but I dislike the way the extension manages pinned tabs — when you pin the tab, it gets a word (Ctrl 1) while it could be just (1). People aren’t stupid, they could learn that pressing control and a number helps them switch between pinned tabs.
9. Now the most important detail that should be number 1 but for some reason it’s number 9 on my list. Ready? Really? OK, here it goes — you can’t suspend tabs manually. Like, what? Why? If you have suspension feature, why don’t you allow users to do it? This is nuts. Also, this is the reason why I removed one start from the rating — I needed this feature but there is nothing like that.
Pros:
1. Faster navigation between tabs if you have dozens of them.
2. That being said, the search function is quite handy. It saves those precious seconds when you are in a hurry or just want to get job done as fast as possible. Also, less clicking.
3. Having shortcuts is a good thing anyway. Not all the extensions give you a way to use shortcuts.
4. The visuals are nice. Yeah, I know, I shouldn’t add it on the list but that’s important for me too. The website looks quite nice and even the extension with all its flows gives a nice vibe — the devs wanted to make the extension pretty. The design could be better though.
Conclusion:
The only thing this extension does is helping you to navigate between tabs if you have a lot of them (more than ~40). Also, this extension might be for you if you really need to search on all tabs at once and pin tabs faster. Otherwise, I don’t recommended it. The default way of managing tabs is okay, you won’t miss that much. If you used The Great Suspender and you need to suspend tabs and save precious RAM — find another extension.
I do and will continue to use another extension like this for the sole reason you can search not only active tabs, but recently closed as well. but I really like the design and functionality on this one so I thought I have to install it just to give it 5 stars
😀 Appinn.com just recommended it and it really works well. Thanks!
Hi developer, I really love the tab nap feature! It’s awesome!!
Is it possible for you to add one more feature? Sometimes I have tabs in some separate windows, but Tabbs can only search the tabs in current window. Is it possible to show the all tabs in all windows?
Thats what I was waiting for for years. Thanks a lot developers!
This an Awesome Extension which allows for a better way to organize tabs on the browser. Job Well Done to the team!
is there a shortcut to open the extension itself?
Thoughtfully put together, completely functional and timely. I love every part of this extension. Great work!
I like this, but how do you turn on dark mode?
I love this extension! It’s so simple but super useful. I have one question. I thought the closing and toggle shortcuts work in any tabs but they don’t. Is that supposed to be like that or it’s my browser issue? By the way, what a mean person below that gives poor review just because that it doesn’t support Ubuntu and hijack the review score?? That can be just done simply via giving feedback to the team…
It seems like a great extension but it does not have support for Ubuntu so I can’t use it because it seems that I can’t open it with Alt+K or any other key combination. I will update my review when it supports Ubuntu.
I have been waiting so much for a feature like this! I love it, it’s amazing!
