Cons
Con Worst than alternatives
Con Paid
For free accounts, you can only have 5 personal workspaces and 3 shared workspaces.
Con Application concept changing all the time
They still seem to be searching heavily for their vision of productivity focussed tab management. Big changes in user interface have occured in the last years. The UI is more complex than needed and it is not clear what they want to achieve.
Con Duplicating and loosing windows and tabs
Sometimes window sessions are duplicated and have to be merged by hand. More than once sessions and tabs have been lost. Mostly because it couldn't cope with Chrome restarting. Once also because the backend was updated and it went wrong. Workona has not at all proven to be reliable.
Con Doesn't always play well with others
Even though most of the bugs and glitches are a result of conflicts with other extensions or browser features (e.g. edge rolling our new tab management features)... it takes a lot of trial an error to figure out what works. Some feedback by way of a useful error message would help.
Con Syncing requires license
To enable syncing between browsers, you have to purchase a $9.80 license.
Con This extension is outdated
Last update was in 2021. It doesn't work since chrome 92+.
Con Can't edit the title of the bookmarks
You can't edit the title of the bookmarks when saved.
Con It doesn't save tabs automatically
