When I test Tab Count Button alongside three comparable extensions, the other three show one count whilst Tab Count Button shows a different count.
For example, at the time of writing:
- 467 tabs open, according to comparable extensions
- 469 open, according to Tab Count Button.
(Maybe an extensions conflict? I wonder whether Tab Count Button will become consistent if I remove one or two (not all three) of the comparable extensions. Just a thought, I don't plan to retest, for now I'll disable this extension.)

posted 7 years agoI just submitted a new version with a fix where it wasn't counting tab removals.
However, the total count should be correct - all I do is query the tabs API for all tabs and report the length of the returned result.
Seems inefficient, but there's no other way to do it, sadly.
Should take into account all windows, IIRC.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Ross Z, 4 years agoInstalled and allowed in Private Browsing but it wasn't working for me at all. The button appeared in my toolbar ok but there was no tab count, only a black box.
Hovering over the toolbar icon, I get a tooltip "Tab statistics not yet initialized" but it's been several minutes at least (even before I started writing a review) and there is no indication that it is even working on "initializing". According to my other tab counter addon, which I was hoping to replace with something bigger ('Tab Count Icon by lllusion3418') I see that I currently have 217 tabs open ... according to the screenshots for this addon, it ought to be able to handle over 1000.
I have tried clicking the toolbar icon and if it is doing anything, then it is not doing a very good job of relaying that to the user... But I suspect it is just not working.
Even if it was working, I see that there is no preferences section for this addon so it is unlikely that I would be able to custom colors (which I can do in my current addon) or increase the font size.
Best of luck, but for now, I'll keep looking or stick with what I have.
