"Alright, so while the free plan had been great for years, and the paywall very annoying, and I suppose as a developer I'm spoiled for free open source community software, and I'm not thoroughly convinced I couldn't make it myself…
And I really like source code being available, and raising issues and PRs…

\*The simple truth of the matter is there's no tab extension manager like tabxpert.** In the free->limited transition some months ago, *I researched them all*, I tried everything for extended periods of time, I even made a stab at just making my own custom tailored solution.*
But I kept coming back to tabxpert. It's the only clean, simple, fussless solution that does what I want. Everything else just comes off as clunky, or requiring more user effort, or isn't automatic. tabxpert just automatically manages everything.

In terms of settings, showing windows by tab icons, to me, instantly identifies what the gist of the window is, without naming it. I set a high (max) delay in deleting windows, yet auto-delete empty windows, and my history is clean. I'm not great about organizing, and depending on research for various projects I could have several windows with dozens of tabs open on each. Sometimes before culling, between dozens of windows I'd have hundreds to thousand tabs. And with tabxpert, most sit quietly in tabxpert, cleanly identifiable, taking no system resources except the few windows I currently need, until I suspend/close them and open a different project's windows. Loading windows suspended with tabxpert, even if it has hundred(s) of tabs doesn't crash my system, as it only loads the tabs I've now seen. (And it plays cleanly with Opera's slick tab groups).

I'm sure now, with all my AI superpowers, I could feasibly make something like it.
But I just have no complaints about tabxpert other than my cheapness. It's core to my workflow, personally and professionally, it just works, its maintained, and they've been doing a good job for as long as I've been using it (7+ years? I forget).
So kudos; you've won my subscription, and thank you for the best product on the marketplace.

(It's still hard to advocate for it with the base fee; for awhile when I considered coming back, I tried really hard to stay in the <5 closed sessions, and that's what tipped me to just stop caring and subscribe. But, since I'm no longer a student and I use it professionally, I truly can trivially afford it, just old free expectations die hard. I wonder tho, if there's enterprise markets you could expand into? If you can convince a corporate IT to make it available to their workplace, that might ease the financial burden off the small user to those who see the profitability of it? There's a lot of other "fancy professional" tab manager solutions (that show up at the top of the marketplace), but IMO they suck; I've tried hard.)
