Toast for Safari User Reviews

Top reviews

Who in their right mind would agree to this?

Toast for Safari:
Tab Saver - Can read and alter sensitive information on webpages, including passwords, phone numbers, and credit cards, and see your browsing history on the current tab’s webpage when you use the extension.
(Who in their right mind would allow this?)

Scam Artist, Stay Away

Tricked me into paying for an annual subscription. Haven't heard back. Others have reported spam emails and social media login attempts after getting the extension. Stay safe and stay away. Get OneTab or anything else but don't get this.

Life changing

This app is absolutely life changing. I accumulate so many tabs while doing research that my browser eventually becomes unusable. I don't want to close the tabs for fear of losing what I found, but I don't have time to archive everything somewhere else, where I'll just end up with the same kind of clutter. I have been searching for a solution to efficiently capture my browser tab information that plays well with Safari and other MacOS browsers without success. Toast is the answer to my needs!

Congrats to the developers. Please continue supporting this!!!

Suggestion to developers: Please consider adding the ability to organize sessions into "folders" or create a "timeline" heirarchy. For me, I create a session that captures all of my research for the day. If these could be gathered into subfloders of daily, weekly, monthly, etc. sessions, it would be absolutely perfect.

Thank you for using Toast and leaving your review. We are very glad to receive such an awesome feedback. Folders for sessions is a great idea, definitely useful for our Pro users. I've added it to our "ideas for future" list, we'll discuss it with the team. We appreciate your input a lot. Toast is getting better and better thanks to users like you. Enjoy Toast :)

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback!

Beware

I installed this app, and its permissions required seeing everything on a page, including secure information. I did not register, and I uninstalled the app. Within ~15 min afterwards,I began to receive notifications that someone was trying to login to my social media accounts. Beware.

Response from developer

Hello, thank you for downloading Toast. We are sorry that someone tried accessing your account. It’s always sad and scary to get such notification. I assure you, Toast has nothing to do with this. The product is over 2 years on the market. Our extensions are distributed only via official browser extension stores to provide the highest safety for our users. Every new update is diligently checked by specialists at Apple, Google, Microsoft, Firefox, and Opera. The permission mentioned is a technical requirement for Toast. Unfortunately, there is no way to get tab information such as title, favicon, and URL without that permission. And there is no shorter/smaller permission that would allow us to get around it. Even though Toast has permission, it never reads anything from the page content, nor reads or stores your browsing history. Toast does not send or receive data in the background, and, overall, without your consent/action. It’s very disappointing for us to see, that because of the unfortunate coincidence, Toast gets very bad feedback. Hope your accounts are safe. If you have any questions for us, feel free to reach us at dotoast.com@gmail.com.

Excellent

Love this extension. Now I don't have to keep 5 windows and 300 tabs open anymore and my laptop sounding like a drone trying to take off.

Works in all my browsers so I can open any saved session cross browser. Doesn't get any better than that.

Highly recommended

Thank you Jaime! Your rating is the highest gratitude for us. πŸ™‚

Could be great

Toast annoys me, because with a few little tweaks it would be the *perfect* tab manager across platforms, but right now, it just isn't. It really needs the option to save the tabs of all open windows, not just the one you are currently on, and the option to group those together and relaunch them in the same number of windows as before, or to launch each individual window seperately. As someone who regularly has hundreds of tabs open across different windows, Toast just isn't working for me rn

Account issue

From the moment i created an account, i started receiving spam!!!!

UPDATE: the plugin developers replied quickly to help me solve this. Doesn't seem to stem from their end but they steered me in the right direction on how to handle this problem with Apple.

Currently still using this extension as it is super useful and well desinged! Kuddos!

Dear user, thank you for your feedback. We are upset to hear about your issue. As we got such type of comment the first time, we would like to ask you to describe the issue more in the email. Please write to us at dotoast.com@gmail.com. Thank you! Maksym

Good extension but

why does it need to be able to "read sensitive information from web pages including passswords, ..."?

Response from developer

Hello Jaz, thank you for trying Toast and leaving a comment. We completely understand your concern. I want to ensure you, your data is safe and secure.Β  Toast doesn't read or collect any data other than info about tabs such as Title, URL, Favicon. We don't mine, nor sell any users' data. That's why we have paid subscription, unlike our competitors, who sell users' data. So no passwords, credit cards, browsing history, etc are ever read by Toast. It never reads or sends anything in the background. Any data collection or transfer is started by user's action. We value privacy a lot and even created a dedicated page explaining security principles we follow at Toast, you can see it here https://dotoast.com/security. Additionally, the most trustworthy thing we can mention is that Toast is distributed only through official extension stores, such as Apple Mac App Store. Every update published to the store gets a diligent check by Apple engineers and one of the most important parameters for them is privacy of users. Now explaining the permission itself. Unfortunately, we can't get around this permission in Safari (we tried). Toast is built as a native Safari extension, not using the newly presented Web API. The native API has way less options for getting the permissions, it's more like: "You either take it all, or don't take any". We aim to provide the same user experience for our users regardless of the browser. In Safari this permission is technically needed to provide shortcuts and context menu functionality, just like we have in Chromium-based browsers and Firefox. I hope this makes you more confident in Toast. Feel free to reach out, if you have more questions, we are absolutely open in sharing the information about the data we collect and how it is used.

Another account? Really?

It was perfectly working before, without any bloody accounts. Why the heck you need my data now?

Response from developer

Dear customer, we introduced the login option last year, we regard that you just now saw this new feature, here you can find more information why Toast needs account https://dotoast.com/why-create-account Overall for synchronization. For more questions feel free to contact our support.
