Reviews for Session Sync
Session Sync by Gabriel Ivanica

Developer response
posted 7 years agoThanks a lot for the detailed feedback. Really glad you like it.
Regarding features:
- probably I missed to add that to the feature list but drag-and-drop support for reordering tabs will definitely be implemented (as soon as the next minor release 3.1.0)
- multi-selection is a little bit more complex to implement it right now so I'm not sure if I can make it available at the same time but I definitely want that feature as well and it will be added for sure asap
- Do I plan a version for Chrome... more or less yes... but at the same time this is not really a business model for me so since I don't get anything from it I don't really intend to promote Chrome over Firefox but the other way around. Inter-browser vendor syncing (to have the same sessions on Chrome and Firefox) is definitely not possible unless a third-party sync functionality is used (like XMarks was before closing down just a few days ago). Otherwise, you will have to manually make sure you sync them or treat them as 2 completely distinct ecosystem and use each one independently. So yes... I do have plans for Chrome as well, but for the moment Firefox is my priority (and will always be because the of the community).
- Support for Firefox on mobile... well that's a little complex to do. The problem is that I have to write a complete new UI experience and even then it may not be that easy to create something useful. The good part... till I can figure out a way to add support for Android you still have all your sessions as bookmarks under Bookmark/Desktop Bookmarks/Session Sync. Not the ideal UI... but at least you have all of them.
- [text under images] No... that's not just ugly... it's definitely stupid of me for not observing it. Usually I don't do long searches and I'm not bothered by it so I might missed that case. I'll have a fix for it in the next release.
If you want to request more features or provide other details please feel free to do that on the Github development page https://github.com/ReDEnergy/SessionSync/issues or just contact me directly via email (open the help page of the addon -> top right corner you can find a feedback button with my address mail)
Again, thanks for the detailed feedback.
