ilys vs OneTab

This is the best program ever. I wrote 4000 words in one day when in the past I was lucky to get down 500 because of how much of a perfectionist I was being and constantly editing as I went. The 4000 words I threw down were certainly terribly written, but I really don't care because *the words are down and moving the story forward*! This is the best tool for compulsive editors during NaNoWriMo. I can make the writing good later, but for now, getting the words on the page using this program might actually make me successful this NaNo. Thank you thank you thank you.

ilys forces me to get something down. I have a tendency to try and edit as I write, which means it can take me hours to write something even fairly short, and in the end I am not happy with the result. With ilys I know that I can't change anything until I reach my word goal. Also, the simplicity of the site really helps to minimize distractions.

ilys helps with my writing when I'm having trouble focusing. It's great how it makes the whole screen dark and shows only one letter at a time so I can't go back and edit or get distracted by other tabs. I also like the word count feature. Knowing I have to write a certain number of words before I can edit them keeps me going until I reach the goal.

I've been using One Tab for some time now, maybe a few years! I love it! Although a long time user, today I learned a few things I didn't know from reading the entire HELP page. Now, I can do so much more to organize my web excursions! Wish there was an OS that worked this well on how to create file structures. I've been using pc's since before Windows was ever created! Some might say I'm old as DIRT! LOL Since I have used DOS! As it was the only Disk Operating System at the time & the syntax you were required to know just to use a pc. So those that complain of a bug here or there, you have no idea how lucky you are to use such a piece of software! ENJOY IT!!! Wow! After reading more of these reviews, which I usually DO NOT write! People have gone stupid, lazy, & just a bunch of whiners cause they want someone else to make something to were they do not have to work! If your work, for lack of a better term is THAT IMPORTANT, then redundancy has ALWAYS WORKED, use another program, print it out & make a HARD COPY, yes, you have to retype EVERYTHING back in, but you didn't completely lose it! Use those heads that house somewhat of a brain for more than a HAT RACK!! Sorry Developers, just a pissed off old man on his soap box!! You can always build a better mouse trap for the lazy, but the concept, & where you are now with the extension to me are AWESOME!! Later to all you whiners!!

Do not recommend. Unreliable - FALSE sense of security. Do NOT rely on this extension as I did - and LOSE EVERYTHING without warning. They are aware this happens and do NOTHING to let users know. It doesn't happen all the time - and OneTab does NOT warn you. I updated Chrome and ALL my OneTabs disappeared. I had added about 8 since restarting after the update - so when I followed the misleading directions to "restore" my OneTabs - the tabs available to "restore", were my current tabs - which were never lost. Nothing saved, 1,000+ tabs LOST, LOST, LOST, along with a lot of work. NO WARNING. NO RECOVERY. The real pisser is, the developers know but do nothing to warn you, let alone fix it. Bag of xxxxx....

It's missing a "global delete" option. Without it, the only way to realistically get rid of several hundreds of URL sets at once—i.e. without having to literally delete each one individually, then confirm the delete—is by removing, then reinstalling the app. I'm surprised nobody has asked for this already; I'm sure I'm not the only slob who creates more and more and more tab sets...and more, and more, without a second thought. That's what the Global Delete Button would logically be there for, right?
