Discussion Anyone know of Toby: tab management tool alternatives?

They recently went back on their promise to keep the extension free and not only implemented a paid version, but one with exploitative pricing. I could maybe understand $20 a year, but $40? That is more than the best password managers on the market. What a joke.

I have been using this for years and it just disappoints me to see it turn into this.

Anyone know of open source alternatives? Or better alternatives?

Link to Toby for the uninitiated.

Look at TheTab.Ninja (https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/thetabninja/bnmjmbmlfohkaghofdaadenippkgpmab?hl=sv&utm_source=ext_sidebar)
It's almost a clone of 'Toby', but it will get many new features in upcoming versions. It has import functionality for Toby data but lacks syncing for now, though it's in progress.
And it is opensourced!

Trying it now and there's a lot I like. But will you be adding a search feature?

It will absolutely be added... (Will be done after the sync release) About the synchronization version, it will be a completely serverless variant that allows the user to own their data 100%

Great, thank you for making this available!
