I was probably using that, when it was around.
Good, and possibly better than today's TST, but still short of my goal(s). And that's without its instability (ISTR that crashing a fair bit.)
I'd like to be able to:
- Search tabs (by metadata).
- Search tabs (by content).
- Organise tabs by task / project. Including assigning open tabs to tasks, and possibly to multiple tasks.
- A sense of utility vs. info tabs. (Pinned tabs ... sort of does this. Examples might be webmail, chat app, or tools like a dictionary or other data-lookup page.)
- Arbitrarily grouping a set of tabs based on specifiable criteria, or UI-based multi-select.
- Taking actions based on those groupings (close, combine under a single tree, bookmark, print, save, etc.)
I'd have to think more on what sorts of things I'd be doing, but Web as Workflow is a major component of this. Current browser design seems entirely antithetical to this.
