User reviews

Users find Sidebar Tab very useful for integrating tools like Chat GPT into their workflow and appreciate its convenience and simplicity. However, multiple reviews mention the inability to hide the URL bar, lack of auto-reloading the last opened page, missing hotkeys, and limited support for local URLs. These missing features affect usability and customization, but generally users still consider the extension a valuable productivity tool.
Pros
  • The extension is highly valued and integrated into users' workflows for research and productivity.
  • It allows users to pin various web pages, including Chat GPT and other tools, conveniently in a sidebar.
  • Users appreciate having everything accessible through a single shortcut, enhancing multitasking.
  • It's praised for being useful and easy to use for opening GPT-related pages without needing other plugins.
Cons
  • The address (URL) bar cannot be hidden after loading a site, which wastes space and is a common user request.
  • The extension lacks an option to reopen the previously viewed URL automatically when reopening the sidebar, causing inconvenience.
  • Users want functionality improvements such as resizing the sidebar content or switching between mobile and desktop views for better display.
  • There is no hotkey or shortcut to open the sidebar panel, which would improve usability.
  • The extension does not support local addresses like 127.0.0.1 or IP addresses with port numbers, limiting use with local services.
Recent reviews
This extension has become a key part of my workflow and provides a lot of value to my research. I'd like to have the option to hide the URL bar by default when opening the sidebar and to change the size and position of the icon. Overall, I still give 5 stars.
