I also keep 50-100 tabs open at all times. How do you manage your tabs?

You're in good shape. I'm at 337 tabs. ;-)

I made a simple firefox/chrome extension for people like you and me that horde tabs. You might find it useful to find tabs and quickly navigate to them by clicking on the link in the list. It's free and open source. The github page has a gif showing usage.

Chrome Extension: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/tabist/hdjegjggiog...

Firefox Extension: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tabist/

Let me know if you find it useful or have any suggestions.

Your chrome link is broken.

Anyway I used an extension like this for awhile, called session buddy. But now I just use control+D and bookmark all my tabs. Then you get bookmark syncing, and you can save your tabs when you export bookmarks, or wget them to have a local archive, etc. It's just more convenient, and one less extension I have to worry about stealing my personal information or bugging and corrupting my data.

That's fair and the extension is not for everyone. It's not really meant for saving sessions or anything like that it's more for finding lost tabs in a sea of windows like I typically have. This is more for tabs that are not worth saving to bookmarks but that you have open for a long time as a transient bookmark.

FWIW, Mozilla looks at all extensions before fully approving them and the app is fully open source and fairly easily vetted if people are worried about that sort of thing.

Thanks for the feedback!

this is brilliant. P.S. your chrome link is broken.

On suggestion - please give a button to save all of this as a "session" or something. I'm a tab hoarder and sometimes I just want to dump it somewhere and start afresh.

Please help me !

Thanks! the link is fixed now... I actually did just this thing the other day but didn't know if other people would want it. I will update the addon with it.

if you could do one more thing - allow me to search within the "sessions". that would be awesome (search should work both on domain and title)

thanks!

I had about ~250 tabs and i closed them now. Bookmarked before. This "feature" of FF is rly cucking. I have tons of GB written to my SSD without any benefit (i not a "safety critical user"). And the worst thing is, all of this data was written into 40 GB of SSD space.

this session restore feature, lets just save the urls in a list. that data structure cant be GB of GB right! ;) I think thats enough for the, lets say, typical FF user.

Now, that i know about this issue, i will bring down my tab usage to no more than 10 tabs.
