| Notable limit | The Chrome Web Store listing says cloud sync supports up to 10 devices. | The maker says users cannot rename windows; it suggests using native tab groups for labels instead. |
| Privacy | The maker says Raft is local by default, has no analytics or telemetry, and operates no backend servers. | The maker says core functionality runs locally, tab data stays in the browser, and the extension does not add analytics or tracking. |
| Purpose | Raft suspends inactive tabs to free memory and saves browsing sessions with multi-layer backup protection. | Tab Manager v2 provides a searchable workspace for tabs across browser windows. |
| Support | The Chrome Web Store listing directs users with questions, suggestions, or problems to open its support page on a desktop browser. | The maker links to a GitHub issues page for issues and privacy questions. |
| Tab groups | It preserves Chrome tab group names, colors, and collapsed state when saving and restoring sessions. | Where supported by the browser, users can rename, recolor, collapse, and reorganize native tab groups. |
