Description

Hide Tabs (Panic Button) is an extension that lets you easily hide and restore all tabs. To hide (close) all tabs, please press the toolbar button once. Next time, when you click on the toolbar button again, all hidden tabs are restored to the previous state (session). To adjust the settings (i.e., show a blank hide tabs page, show badge icon text, etc.), please visit the options page and mark the desired item(s). Moreover, to hide and restore tabs, you can use the keyboard shortcut (Alt+Shift+A) instead of the toolbar button. To report bugs, please fill out the bug report form on the addon's homepage (https://mybrowseraddon.com/hide-tabs.html).

This extension hides tabs the same way that closing the window does.

Instead of hiding the tabs it closes all of them, and once you disable it, it loads back all your tabs like clicking on 'recent tabs' in history. Really bad, especially when you are reading pdf's.

This closes the tabs instead of keeping them open and just hiding them.

1. After hiding all the tabs it opens a web page saying that I hid few tabs letting its user get caught by screaming "This guy has hidden some tabs" 2. If I accidentally close the window, the tabs that are hidden are lost. Not able to restore them.

Killed tabs, did a poor job restoring them, maybe it has a limit as of how many can restore but I lost several tabs that were previously open

It is really bad that unhidden the tabs means reloading (from servers) all the tabs contents! It is suppose only hidden/unhidden the tab, not to reload the content. I have 75 active tabs and all to them were reloaded during a couple of minutes, even I lost some and valuable content.
