Review Sidekick Browser?

Reviewers mostly like Sidekick for reducing tab chaos and making work easier: sessions, workspaces, sidebar apps, split view, multiple accounts, shortcuts, and lower memory use come up again and again, especially among people juggling many projects or ADHD-style tab overload. But praise is tempered by recurring complaints about bugs, broken sites or extensions, sluggish CPU spikes for some users, and a learning curve. The sharpest criticism targets pricing, paywalled basics, intrusive status or signature changes, weak support, poor communication, and fears that maintenance has slipped.

Having used it as a Pro user for more than 1.5 years, I have decided to cancel my subscription for the following reasons - 1. Lack of proper support 2. Constant regression 3. Lack of communication 4. Asking users to manually download the upgrades 5. Updating statuses without user consent 6. Multiple issues with url redirections 7. Broken apps with multiple user accounts(eg: gmail with personal and corporate accounts) 8. Tabs and groups getting disorganised when switching from one session to the other With that being said, I've really enjoyed the following features which have improved my productivity - 1. Ability to convert commonly used URLs to apps 2. Sessions have been amazing 3. Option + F to search is a lifesaver Downgrading my rating to 1 star after they converted my yearly Pro subscription to a monthly subscription without my consent and decided to charge 15$ per month compared to 49$ per annum. Quite predatory and unjustifiable.

I've really enjoyed using Sidekick the last month, but find the pricing a bit too expensive to add onto the other subscriptions needed for my business. I was interested in how it might help with my ADHD tab-hoarding tendencies, and the "tab sessions" feature has been great for keeping my never-revisited-bookmarks to a minimum. The other feature I *LOVED* is the split-view, and having different workspaces has also been useful. I think the shortcuts are intuitive and the ad blocker has been effective. I didn't make use of the task center because I already have a project management system and it felt redundant to set everything up in Sidekick, and I think that's why I have a hard time justifying the price -- I don't use all the features, and the ones I do use, don't add up to the cost. Overall, it's a good browser, and I'll probably keep using the free version for the tab sessions, but won't be subscribing to Pro for now.

It has great chance of replacing or complementing my current default browser. But unfortunately I think the referral invite system for free pro version is seriously flawed. When I shared the link and people signed up but was not recorded at all. I brought this up in the Discord support group but was not resolved. At first support pointed me to an article link about making sure people are not signing using same IP or same device. After i pointed out that it cannot be so because I sent to my social media groups. Then next suggestion is to ask those whom I sent the invitation link to TEST my referral code in their browser. But I don't know who have signed up. Another user also had the same problem but was asked instead for emails of those who signed up for cross checking. How ridiculous! Thats close to violating privacy. Please make the referral process smooth like how giveaways contests are done.
