Ctrl+Sift+Space does nothing. Don't bother adding this extension.
Garbaggio.
suqs
The original web site icon will replace with an ugly square "colored" icon, the tab remains the same. The name for this extension is misleading.
Doesn't work!
Junk, doesn't work. It took a tab icon and turned it into a gray circle, gray was the only color. Brave/Win 11.
Doesnt work
Should be called Tab icon Colorizer, not Tab colorizer
This extension is mis-named. It does not change the TAB color it changes the icon to a blank-square in a variety of colors. This may work for you if all of the tabs that you use are the same webpage/program.
Doesn't work.
pff i wanna file path anti-white.png & .jpg & .ico then upload...
This spamming garbage made its "extention's options page" as my home page! Every day I open up chrome I'm greeted with "Tab Colorizer: How to use"! Can't desable this page, so I had to delete this extention! Also it does NOT work! The colors disapear when you refrech the pages! 0 Stars. Reported for Google!
Plugin is called "Tab Colorizer" and directly from the FAQ, it states "Does not color tabs by design, just the icon." Get off my browser.
Does absolutely nothing.
Literally doesn't work.
Never worked
Simply does not work. What I am still looking for is a ext. comparable to the Colorful Tabs ext. for Firefox legacy (ESR 57). https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51713446009_7681b8f990.jpg
Doesn't work. Waste of time.
It just colors the favicon...
no fwokr
Couldn't get it to work. I tried following all of the FAQs. I just need a simple extension that lets me assign colors to tabs so I know what instance of a product I am in, production, test, etc. Chrome Version 89.0.4389.82 (Official Build) (64-bit)
DEAD. Does not function. Error: _generated_background_page.html:0 (anonymous function)
One star cause it colors, but not the tabs, It colors icons of webs that are from the website. And also stupid and useless thing is that, it colors it randomly. You can pick colors but anyway you can't mange it in anyway, it's random
I didn't like how it covered up the icon so I deleted it but now all my tabs are still covered up with a coloured box and isn't going away and doesn't even say in the description or the instruction how to remove it. Now all my tabs have a purple square and I don't know which is which.
Not Working!!!
I am used to using "ColorfulTabs" in Sea Monkey (the true descendant of Netscape). The color selection is vastly greater, the colors themselves are much brighter (some almost glowing) compared to the flat, relatively lifeless pastels available here, the actual tab is colored, and most importantly, THEY STICK. At best, right after setting up this really doesn't even color the icons, it replaces them with a little square block of color (or maybe just covers them up, the result is the same). And at the first refresh of the page even that goes away. Do not bother installing it, IF it ever worked at some time in the past, it has not kept up with browser changes. A totally useless, waste of time. Windows 10 Pro, doubt it matters what you're running though.
Misleading. Only changes tab icon to a color, and not the whole tab
Not work, on actual chrome, on windows 10 Pro
MacOS Catalina. Does not work. I tried changing the shortcuts, removing my chrome themes, restarting chrome, nothing works.
trahs lost time
it worked fine for me but its so stupid. why would it only change the icon and not the actual tab marker, so you don't even know what you're clicking on unless you've memorized the order of your tabs. at least its not false advertising because its in the web store ad, but why does this need to exist?
actually it does NOT color the tab, it just changes the Favicon with colored square. And is even worst, because i dont know which tab is which website, at least with the Favicon i reconized them, now not! maybe i was asking too much and is too difficult to develop, i dont know!
I don't know how long I played around with this until I figured out that it was a BAIT'N'SWITCH. This extension DOES NOT color your tabs. It messes around with the favicon. In the absence of colored tabs, the only way to figure out what a tab is at a glance is to recognize it's favicon. Well, this extension erases the favicon and replaces it with a solid color. Once again, this extension DOES NOT COLOR THE TAB. The creator should change the name. It is very deceptive and I do not appreciate wasting all that time to learn that it is false advertising. SHAME ON YOU!!!
I installed this extension, refreshed a tab and assigned a color to it. Then I refreshed the tab again and the color went away. This is useless if the color doesn't stay on the tab.
doesnt work after entering shortcut, WIN 7 x64
It setup great! However, refreshing a page made the tab lose the color that was applied. This makes the extension a waste of time.
Broken! Too bad, it seems like just what I was looking for.
it was so bad i pressed ctrl+shift+space BUT NOTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! if anybody knows how to fix this please reply. but i think it only works for macs
Not working in Windows
doesn't work on my chrome's mbp
Not working whatsoever!!! Stop wasting our times. Stop being mediocre!
Doesn't do a darn thing! I pressed Ctrl+Shift+Space and NOTHING happens tabs are all still WHITE BACKGROUND! ALL I WANT IS A DIFFERENT BACKGROUND for the little tab NOT THE PAGE. Firefox does this! The WHITE for everything is just too hard to see which tab I'm on, at the very least I'd like the active tab a different collor!!!!
I add new colors and never it work.
It worked for a little bit. No matter what keys i try to use, now it won't start, ever. Cannot turn it off or on, default is off, so i can't do anything. No idea why. So it's useless as of now.
Did not work. I set the keys, everything it told me. Still didn't work. Hate it
doesn´t work and it is very bad explained
Does not work. Mac El Capitan
Too hard to use: 1. CTRL-shift-space did nothing 2. Why not enable it by right-clicking on tab, which is the bleeding obvious?
It doesn't work.
Incompatible with Chrome Remote Desktop. Getting Unknown Error when connecting to a remote host. Had to remove this addon to get rid of the problem.
