Pros
Pro Tabs Outliner is great at organization of tabs
Even though the experience is not streamlined, it's still worth checking out.
Pro Add notes and labels to any groups, windows and labels
Lots of organization functionality and freedom. You can use emojis as group icons too. You can also duplicate anything.
Pro Reliable, trustworthy and safe
Has barely any problems (on Windows and Linux), help from the developer easy to get.
Pro Powerful - interface and learning curve can seem like a lot but they're not and serve you well
Pro It's new
Seems to be created only in 2019.
Pro Super lightweight
It lives in a tiny popup in top right corner and doesn't take your Chrome home screen or even opens a new tab. It's just a small piece, almost like a native menu.

Safari lacks an extensions, but these guys did a Toast for that.

Cons
Con Complicated
Clumsy and complicated interface.
Con Can't search old trees (files) without opening them individually
Con Unstable and greedy
As tree becomes complex, sometimes all data is missing together with a backup file, if any. Shortcut keys available in paid version only.
Con Need to start a new 'tree' (file) when it becomes too big for performance
Thankfully it's gonna take a long time before you need to start over (many months even for those using a very old laptop and browsing throughout the day) and you can bring content from your old trees into new ones (old trees can be stores locally or in Google Drive btw).
Con Not updating sessions realtime
Con No extra deep tab management
If you a person who likes to customize everything, edit things back and forth, probably Toast is not for you. As it was recently launched, it has at the moment only the most needed features.
