My review is based solely on how misleading Workona is about the privacy of your data. Their "About this extension" section on the Firefox add-on page says "Your data belongs to you and we store it for the sole purpose of providing value to you." That might make some people feel good to read, but it's completely misleading -- they don't technically sell your data, but if you read their privacy policy, they do make money off of it with advertising and use it for advertisers. Their privacy policy also says they don't respect browser "Do No Track" options because there is "no common industry or legal standard for DNT" -- sounds like they're saying they don't follow it because they legally don't have to.

Really disappointed that they go out of their way to say they respect privacy on an outward facing description of their product. Shame on you. Privacy and "Your data belongs to you" means something different that what your company is about, so don't twist words into nice-sounding marketing phrases and misrepresent yourself to consumers.

Small details reveal a lot, and I think this is revealing. But either way, Workona, you should change or remove the misleading description on your "About" page.

And I'm hoping your reasoning for these choices in data "privacy" is not "Well, this is just how the industry is," as if it makes it okay to do things just because other people do them.

Its almost great, everything it says it does is exactly what I want, but it fails to consistently remember which tabs are open. especially when I use tab groups on top of Workona it messes up basically every time I restart my browser. I hope these issues can be fixed, but based on other reviews I don't have very high hopes.

Garbage extension. I had high hopes for it at organization of tabs, but was just found frustration. A majority of times after rebooting, I would be met with disorganized, duplicated, and mislabeled tabs. I wish I had removed the extension and never looked back.

However, looking to replace my SSD in upcoming days, I decided to re-add it with the expectation that the new tabs I had opened recently would be added to the tabs I had left when I removed the extension. Boy, was I wrong. It overwrote all the currently open tabs with the tabs I had open back in August; I cannot even find the tabs / tab groups in my browser history. It's all been replaced with everything from August.

Do yourself a favor and find a less cumbersome option (and please, let me know what it is.)

I have multiple devices. This extension in general is a bit buggy but gets the job done with some tweaks.

Linux Firefox/Brave, Windows Brave: The hidden tab cannot be disabled.
Windows Firefox: The base version of Firefox keeps crashing. But it works on a separate portable version of firefox from portableapps.

It's far from perfect, but it gets the job done. I am at least glad I am not forced to use MS Edge for the same features.

Fails to work on Firefox properly. It create duplicate tabs, the hibernated tabs has mismatch of icons and urls so you need to look into multiple tabs to locate the right tab. It seems to has also slowed down the browser.

The concept of this service is good bu the implementation is bad; it will be better if they break down this many features into smaller chunks and make the core feature work perfectly.

Workona on Firefox caused tabs to get duplicated like wildfire, tabs to mysteriously wind up in other workspaces, tabs to have imprecise favicons and SEO titles, and tabs to get deleted. It should not be marketed as a solution for Firefox. It caused me much stress and required about 15 hours to individually export all tabs across all workspaces to bookmarks.

Hmmm... NOTHING is cleared for free users! You will only find out what the restrictions are if you are already using the application. The FAQ doesn't say anything either, there are only links to the price list, where there is only the list from the PRO version. Today, the price of PRO is 7€/month, which I consider a bit excessive. Payment is ONLY possible by credit card! No thanks!

Ottimo add-on per gestione e salvataggio delle schede aperte (grazie a questa estensione a volte salvo le pagine da vedere in seguito come tabs invece che come segnalibri, risparmiando del tempo)

Awfull. Worst addon i ever tried.
Slow, duplicate some tabs, doesn't save others: it looks great, but it's a WASTE OF TIME (and tabs...) to try to make it work.

I uninstalled this plague.
Plague? Really? Oh yes : even if unactivated and uninstalled (yes, i followed the intructions), somehow it still adds his url in some of my new tabs, slowing all my navigation with this... don't know... it looks like it synchronize my tabs with workona's server before to properly load them on the FF user interface... I'm logged off, it's uninstalled, and apparently it still has connections with my FF. It LOOKS LIKE A VERY SERIOUS CONFIDENTIALITY ISSUE.

I don't know how to get rid of this. I probably wlll have to save everything i can, uninstall FF and reinstall it.
I already did lost a lot of work and time by using this addon in order to save time, and this nightmare is not over.

Don't even try this. Never. Please.

We sincerely apologize for your poor experience. However, you are misunderstanding the nature of the behavior you're seeing.

One of the benefits of Workona is reduced browser memory usage. You can see our blog post about the original motivation for this feature here: https://medium.com/@qmorgan/keeping-chrome-light-on-its-feet-3f80ac2a3792

You have full control over this feature and its settings. By default, we open tabs in a suspended state in order to be able to restore your previous tabs nearly instantly — even if you had 100 tabs open in that space. If you click on a tab, it's immediately redirected to your URL. There is nothing going on on those pages besides a simple Javascript redirect (which you can verify yourself).

Using a web URL instead of an extension URL makes it a far better experience than other tab suspender extensions, since if you uninstall an extension, those suspended tabs stop working entirely. In other words, the fact that you are still being redirected to your actual tabs (one more time, per tab) after already uninstalling the extension is precisely why we do it that way. As our CTO put it:
"You can start using it today and stop using it whenever you want, without fear of losing any of your suspended tabs (plus, it will also repair any broken Great Suspender tabs it finds)."

Regarding the tabs you lost, we have multiple mechanisms to help users restore in situations like this, so please reach out to our support team for help: workona.com/contact
