5.0

Dave C.: Hi, my name is Dave and I'm a director of a design agency. Today I'll be reviewing tabExtend, which I give five out of five stars. For more reviews like this click the link below. Before I was using tabExtend, I used a tab management tool called Toby, which was great, but what I found just its workflow and layout didn't quite align with my needs, so that led me to look into other options. What I love about tabExtend is it's very flexible. It allows you to basically put your bookmarks into columns, and from there you can move each of these items into different sections, or you can even put notes or to do lists in there and use it like a Kanban. So it just really allows you to create this very flexible workspace, and because it's based in your tabs, you can always have access to it very quickly. Getting started is super easy, just pretty much set up the Chrome app and that's it. You can also use it on Brave and I think there's some other browsers as well, but it's just really quick and easy. And then all it is just dragging your items in, or maybe you type new items in and that's it, you're ready to go. So you can get up and running within 10 or 15 minutes. For anyone that's looking to get started with tabExtend, I highly recommend their free plan, which even though it is limited, it still allows you to use pretty much all of the features and without cost. And if you like it, upgrade to the pro plan, which is awesome.
