Installed. This is pretty nice for the people who uses dozens of tabs as temp bookmarks.

A bit of feedback: I was just typing this comment and hit the button, obviously the comment was lost and had to type it again. Would be great if if checked for focused inputs or textareas or something before closing that tab, or that it restores the tabs them with the content.

Another idea I can think of is to "close" all the tabs that are NOT the one you currently are in, or "close" all the tabs on the right of the current one.

Anyway, thanks

Thanks, it's on the to-do :)

Allow a way to whitelist domains that should not be closed (like gmail)

Thanks for the feedback. At the moment, one way to achieve this is to "pin" the gmail tab. OneTab will not close any pinned tabs.

Neat. Could you add some sort of way for the user to choose whether they want to restore into the current window, instead of a new window? Cheers :)

For a free product, the copy on their site feels a bit more "salesy" than I'm used to for a free product

Might want to add a more prominent link to the installation

From what I understand, this calls out to their servers and they display a page?

Would it not be more secure and safer to render this on some sort of local page?

Don't really see the need for this information to go to a third party server.

OneTab developer here: thanks for all your suggestions, I'll be working on them :)

A few FAQs:

1. The OneTab tab persists even if you close your web browser. 2. If you ever close your OneTab tab, this doesn't lose your tabs. You can always get it back by clicking the blue extension icon. 3. Your tabs are never sent to our servers unless you press the button to 'share as a web page'.
