I really like this. It's fast, simple and easier to re-view the pages than bookmark all tabs. Thanks!

#22Looks great and I would definitely put it to use, but on Ubuntu with Chrome 22.0.1229.94, I get "Installation failed either due to cancelling the dialog box or because you already have the extension installed" when installing from your web page. When I try to do it from the web store, I get "There was a problem adding the item to Chrome. Please refresh the page and try again".
Same error happening here along with a Butter bar stating "Manifest file is invalid." in Mac OS X 10.8.2 and Chrome 25.0.1364.160.

#23I love the simplicity. At the risk of adding complexity, there's this Chrome extension I used to love and use all the time called JoinTabs, that unfortunately started shipping with some nasty malware. It did this very simple thing of collecting all the tabs in all your open windows and putting them in one window. Since OneTab only seems to work on the tabs in a single window, is there any way to combine these useful features?

#24Isn't 95% reduction claim a bit too bold? It is widely known that standard measurement of Google Chrome's memory consumption with task manager is wrong because it doesn't take data sharing between processes into consideration. How was the 95% figure produced?

#25Install isn't a link but a span, so you can't tell what it's doing/where it's going by hovering. Hmmm...Feels REALLY spammy, or is it just me?
The install button has to call the chrome.webstore.install API for instant installation, so if it were a hovered link it would not show anything particularly descriptive.

#26For a free product, the copy on their site feels a bit more "salesy" than I'm used to for a free product
The open source and free software community is dominated by programmers. There aren't a lot of designers and there are even fewer sales and marketing people. And it shows in what they release. I found it refreshing to see an exception.

#27From 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): None of your tabs are sent to a third party server. It's all stored in HTML5 local storage. The only way the one-tab servers know about your tabs is if you click to 'share as a web page', which transmits your tabs to our servers to create a web page you can share with others.
Your website talks about which information is not sent to OneTab.
Which information is sent to OneTab?

#28How about just use Chrome? 1. bookmark all tabs ⇧⌘D 2. in the file dialog create a new folder e.g. "foo" 3. (later) with Bookmarks > foo menu open, select "Open All Bookmarks in New Window" Voilà
Nice idea, but for me these are usually temporary bookmarks, and doesn't handle the garbage collection for me nearly as simply.
Thanks for sharing, though!

#29I got 16GB+ RAM for a reason: To use it. Nice extension, but I'd rather have the stuff in memory instead of reading it from disk on need. Haven't happened in years that I felt the need to free RAM.
