Tab Manager by Workona

Workona used to be an indispensable Chrome extension that I loved and shared with everyone, and I happily paid for a subscription. But lately it's become a huge risk, and I would NOT recommend using it yet alone paying for it. For the last 9+ months, the extension has occasionally re-ordered all tabs in the currently open window and closed the last couple recently opened tabs. It was rare enough that it was something I could live with, and I could use the space history in Workona for the window to rewind to a few seconds before it messed things up. When it first started happening I reached out to support, and the suggestion was to disable key features of the extension which I relied upon. Updates to the extension since then have not fixed the issue. The UI performance of the Workona extension tab had also been getting worse over the last year, where at times dragging open tabs to a resources group has a several second delay or the tab becomes non-responsive and crashes. In the last couple weeks, unfortunately, the situation has gotten considerably worse. The random tab re-ordering issue is not only happening more often, but the space history doesn't seem to be saving the open tabs as often anymore. At times the history showed it last saved the space's open tabs more than 30 minutes ago even though I'd been actively opening and closing various tabs. This meant I couldn't reliably recover closed tabs or restore the previous tab order after the extension glitched. Additionally, Workona is now frequently closing recently opened tabs in the current window even without re-ordering the tabs. Sometimes even a new tab I opened a second ago and started typing a URL into gets closed suddenly along with several others. But what was the final nail in the coffin today was when it lost me an entire window of 60+ open tabs I was using to research a complex topic in depth. I had separated the space's open tabs into 3 windows within the space and intended to return to them the next day. At some point today, Workona closed one of the 3 windows in the space, and I didn't even notice it had done it. I can't even use Chrome's recently closed tabs to re-open those lost tabs because it looks like it happened several hours ago. I'm not sure what's going on at Workona, but all I can say is avoid this extension if you value keeping your open tabs organized and actually open. I was willing to put up with some issues over the last year, but they've fully lost my confidence as of today. I now have to begin the process of getting 3+ years-worth of my meticulously organized spaces and resources exported and figure out what to do with that data. If anyone has suggestions for stable and reliable alternatives, please share.

Workona DELTED all of my "resources!" I didn't save the links anywhere else, so I have no way of finding them again. I am searching for a new job, and the "resources" I saved were links for job applications, resume sites, courses I had planned to take, etc. I lost hours of work. Complete waste of time.

This is an indispensable tool for me! It allows me to work on any computer knowing that all my tabs and workspaces will be there organized and using the setup I've configured from my main computer. Quite liberating!

Best browser/bookmarks/tabs manager ever. I work from home managing plenty of projects, and no matter how high-end my pc is, Chrome with all it's open tabs will slow it down. Thankfully, Workona found an ingenious way to manage all those tabs and bookmarks while making it so easy to use! I can also jump from one computer to another and Workona will remember where I left off. Best productivity tool ever!

I feel bad for the browser company and their new Arc browser that mimics Workona's same design and concepts. Great product and 100% worth a try.
