by drew, 4 years agoI like what this add-on can do but it is EXTREMELY laggy and unresponsive. I even turned off tab previews and tab details which helped a bit but it's still extremely laggy. I'm running on a MacBook Pro 2019 model with an 8 core CPU, and when I open this extension's popup window, it nearly pegs an entire core. I'm usually around 5-6% average usage on my CPU cores during normal browsing, but when I open the popup it shoots up to 15-25% average. You do the math. To be fair, I have 8 windows open across 2 Spaces, but each window has less than 12 tabs, and honestly if you're using a manager extension like this you've probably got at least half as many windows and tabs as me. I hope the developer works on improving the performance of this extension. It's very nice and only hindered by the performance. I will still use it.
edit: thank you developer for the response. I look forward to any and all performance improvements!

posted 4 years agoHi drew! Thanks for the review. I am fully aware of this situation, and am frustrated with this myself as well. The weird thing is that it seems to only occur on macOS (even on latest hardware), and the performance is much better on Windows? I am working on possible solutions, and I hope that the performance is workable for now.
