ZERO stars if I could. Wth did you do to what WAS a perfectly great extension? Who tf asked for these changes??? It now takes MANY MINUTES to restore my tabs where previously it was done in SECONDS. I HAVE the RAM I need to reopen 100+ tabs at once. Why should I now have to wait many minutes (more than 5 MINUTES) to reopen a session. How f*****g useless is that? Rebooting my computer before was fine, now it's a damned CHORE AND PAIN IN MY ***. Congratulations, you fixed what wasn't broken that no one asked for and *clearly* no one wants. MILLIONS of installs are not just disappointed but apparently all hate your guts now. Myself included. Was perfectly happy with this extension, even would have donated a few more bucks for it *the way it **was*** but now I'm on the hunt for a replacement. Great job sticking your foot in your eye. I can only wish the same misery on you you've inflicted on so many of your (once) loyal users. Now you can fade into obscurity as your ratings get re-rated into oblivion. Your extension now cannot die fast enough to make me happy. Good luck in your next life. This one is now over.

Reviewed in v4: Cannot downgrade. Lost several features. Crash recovery is inconsistent. Tabs take much longer to reopen. Export in different formats doesn't appear to work, nor exporting parts of data. No tab suspender support (but I hear a fix is coming). Downgrading causes an auto update. Simply unusable for now. For such a major change, I would have hoped for a test phase, or an opt-in, instead of forcing it on everyone. Edit: Found a way to permanently downgrade as a temporary solution. (Do this at your own risk) 1. Export data from session buddy 2. Download the CRX file for the 3.6.9 extension from https://www.crx4chrome.com/history/1080/, then rename the packed file to .zip and extract to a folder 3. Remove the extension (if on Windows, ensure you enable viewing file extensions in explorer) 4. Enable developer mode in chrome://extensions and install the extracted folder using unpack extension - prevents any auto updating 5. Convert the export data from session buddy with the python script below - make sure to replace 'YOUR_FILE_HERE' with the file name of your exported data file -- EDIT: It seems you can also convert your data at the following site without the need to use Python: https://adrianverde.github.io/SessionBuddyBackupRetrocompatibilizer/ 6. Import the new converted file into session buddy 7. To update back in the future, export your current file, reinstall the version you desire, then reimport import os import json import datetime target_file = "YOUR_FILE_HERE.json" output_file = target_file.replace(".json", "_downgrade.json") with open(target_file, "r", encoding="utf-8") as f: content = json.loads(f.read()) session_remappings = { "sourceType": "type", "folders": "windows", "touched": "generated", "updated": "modified", "title": "name" } timestamp_keys = ["created", "generated", "modified"] window_remappings = { "links": "tabs" } for session in content["collections"]: session["sourceType"] = "saved" for session in content["history"]: session["sourceType"] = "previous" content["sessions"] = content.pop("collections") content["sessions"] += content.pop("history") for session in content["sessions"]: for old,new in session_remappings.items(): try: session[new] = session.pop(old) except: continue for key in timestamp_keys: try: timestamp = int(session[key]) dt = datetime.datetime.utcfromtimestamp(timestamp/1000) dt = datetime.datetime.strftime(dt, "%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.%f")[:-3] + "Z" session[key] = dt except: continue for window in session["windows"]: for old,new in window_remappings.items(): try: window[new] = window.pop(old) except: continue with open(output_file, "w", encoding="utf-8") as f: f.write(json.dumps(content, indent=4))

It's an absolute disaster, all my sessions collected over 2 years disappeared so BIG THANKS, import sessions = error, export as well. Useless. I've been using this extension at least for a decade till now. This kind or version of "Session Buddy" or whatever it is, shouldn't take a place in production without a proper testing. Just making more people upset. One star just because I have to before posting. One more thing, the rating is 4.7 but what's the average of the version 4?

Feature regression. Can no longer backup to HTML, dev says "copy / paste" is meant to fill this lost functionality.

Unlike v4.0.1, v4.0.2 allows the snapshot feature to be turned off. I think this is great. Thanks to this, we can avoid having to just watch old histories die one by one. However, what was added at the same time was the ability to delete snapshots in bulk, and there is still no ability to delete individual tiles in the history. This feature existed until v3. I can't wait to be able to delete individual tiles. My biggest concern right now is that we are losing the "ability to automatically save when the browser is closed or crashes" which was present until version 3. I have been using session buddy since around 2017, and one day I noticed that session buddy was saving my data, including secret tabs, in the "previous session" when the browser was about to crash. I liked this feature very much and it was the main reason I continued to use session buddy. Today, for the first time since version 4, my browser crashed, and when I restarted it, the previous session was not saved in HISTORY. If the ability to remember the last state when the browser is accidentally closed or crashes has been lost, then what is the purpose of HISTORY for me now that I have turned off snapshots? I used to be very happy that "manually saved sessions" were lined up under SAVED SESSIONS and "automatically saved sessions when browser is closed or crashes" were lined up under PREVIOUS SESSIONS, and both were useful. I would like to see that feature re-equipped in v4.0.3 or later as soon as possible. Or was that a feature that was miraculously equipped by session buddy unintentionally by the developers and can no longer be restored?

I can only search names of collections since yesterday. Not being able to search for link titles makes my years of sessions stored and this app itself nearly useless. Please fix this issue ASAP.
