I would be interested in hearing more about your tab reorganisation ideas, because I definitely recognize the pain of not being able to reconnect to a train of thought and have been exploring solutions myself. Is the research paper you mentioned available anywhere?

Unfortunately I ended up shelving the project once it became clear that I couldn't go far without rebuilding the browser, and I think things have only gotten worse in terms of what extensions can do.
Here's what I could find from my old folders - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1W4nxW9GaQXybdX4zKqVsdaE7unI...
It's not much - and I remember getting a little further, but I must've lost the file - but hopefully it eases the discovery of prior art if you end up going down this path.
If you do, would love to hear from you to help or share thoughts!

Thanks! Especially loved the cognitive neuroscience references.
For context, I'm working on a browser and note taking app for the iPad and have been exploring ways to organize browsing activity to go beyond treating tabs as ephemeral state. It's not quite there yet, but it would be great to hear what you think once I have more to share!
