'Customers are all about Sidekick Browser, praising its efficient organization of workspaces, seamless navigation between apps and sessions, and the ability to streamline multitasking. The integrated sidebar apps and session saving are also big hits. There are a few hiccups like minor issues with CPU usage and import problems, just small bumps on the road. Weighing the raves against the occasional grumbles, Sidekick Browser is hitting the mark and is a solid buy for those in need of a distraction-free browsing experience. With an overall rating of 4.4 from 100 reviews and a 60-day money-back guarantee, it's worth giving it a try.'

No updates and no way to contact

I should have done my research... (seems like AppSumo did not and fooled us. Why did they resell this product??)

Checking Facebook, LinkedIn, etc. and their website, there are no updates on this project since July 2023. No way to contact them, and no updates.

I want a refund!!!

No extension support

I read somewhere that it was compatible with Chrome extensions. But unfortunately, it is not. I have an extension I can't do without, and unfortunately, it doesn't work, and the support says the following: The browser is based on Chromium, but it doesn't mean that any extension/web tool can support it. For me, it becomes useless.

Just use native Chrome and organize your tabs.

Security Disaster

I love Sidekick; I'd love to use it, but... they are so slow with Chromium updates that using Sidekick poses a serious threat to your security. Currently, there are a bunch of known vulnerabilities out there that were patched in any other chromium-based browser, but not in Sidekick. Can't recommend it.

Terrible support, outdated browser version, random crashes, stay clear!

I have been in touch with support multiple times on browser crashes, here's a list of things that I can guarantee will crash Sidekick on my device:
1. sharing browser tab on video calls (resorted to sharing windows or screens)
2. opening a link from 1Password extension
among other things. In addition to other crashes which I can't explain.

I'd also sometimes have sites not loading for no obvious reason.

Annoyingly, when it crashes, it also removes all my apps, so I have to add them again. It's even more challenging adding Slack, because, by default, they take over my status updates! And there is no way to configure a setting for this, I'm having to do it every time I add the app.

I was a big proponent of Sidekick and was recommending it to others, I particularly loved the sessions feature, but it's been a big downgrade to my productivity, I regret my purchase and that I stuck with them for this long hoping for things to improve.

I'd not recommend this.
