GraciousTriptolemus's Experience

Very limited functionality. Only suited for task management. See More

Top Pro

Performance

It only takes one click to store all sessions, like onetab extension but better. Improve chrome memory issue on over tabbers. See More

Top Con

Toby closes ALL the window's tabs when you save a session. This is ... annoying.

Surely it should have two buttons: CLOSE ALL TABS & SAVE SESSION SAVE SESSION that would make it 50% better just like that! Cheers See More

OneTab

Top Pro

Overall very useful

It takes all of your tabs (choose between all/all-except-current/current/all-to-right/all-to-left) and turns them into links in a special OneTab tab where you can further manage your tabs by dividing them into groups, removing duplicates and securing them so that they can't be removed unless unsecured. See More

Top Con

Can get messy

The OneTab tab has everything in a list format with just simple headings describing what you have in this or that list. It isn't comfortable to manage it when you have quite a lot of tabs in there. See More

patrick shae's Experience

Too messy for my taste. But maybe someone will like it. See More

Specs

Platforms:Windows, Linux, Mac, Chrome, Firefox

Top Pro

Fast

Top Con

Slightly confusing UX

It's easy to forget that clicking on the OneTab button in the extensions bar doesn't show you options – it saves your current session by closing all your tabs in the given browser window. That might be slightly annoying if you were trying to access the OneTab dashboard or view OneTab options instead of trying to save your current session in OneTab, but this is only a minor inconvenience given how easy it is to restore your session. See More

GraciousTriptolemus's Experience

Not very pleasing See More

Top Pro

Reliable

Top Con

Clicking an item defaults to removing it from the list

If you left click to open, it opens the tab and deletes the reference link entirely. If you right click, you can open it in a new tab but it still pulls the link out of the list to be dragged and dropped where you want. Which might be convenient if you resort every time. But if you want it to stay where it was, you have to take a second to put it back. See More

RealisticIkatere's Experience

TOP See More

Top Pro

Management & sharing of saved sessions

OneTab makes it very easy to restore, delete, share, lock, rename, and favorite your saved tab sessions. OneTab also makes it easy to share, export and import URLs into your OneTab dashboard as a whole. See More

Top Con

Data loss

When you run ccleaner or CleanMyMac, all OneTab data may vanish. See More

PoliteBritomartis's Experience

Great Experience See More

Top Pro

Gives you the option to use it how you want.

Left Clicking on the Icon for the default action sends all currently open tabs to OneTab and opens the OneTab page, where everything you have sent to it is listed by date. But you can easily choose how you want OneTab to function differently. If you right click for the menu you can: Just open the OneTab page. Just send all open tabs to OneTab Send all open tabs besides the one you are looking at to OneTab Send just the tab you're looking at to OneTab and leave everything else alone And within the OneTab page itself, you can leave it organized by date or you can just drag and drop links to make related lists, which you can then label or relabel whatever you like. See More

Top Pro

Non-invasive

The OneTab dashboard only appears the first time you open your browser after quitting, although you can also make it appear through the extension button in the extensions bar. This is less invasive behavior than the Chrome extensions that appear every time you open a new browser tab. See More

Top Pro

You can organize links by dragging and dropping them

You can drag and drop links/tabs to reorder them by relevance, or to move them from one list to another. See More
