There's only a few more things I really want from a browser and I'll admit, at this point most things are minor.
- Tab groups: I handle this by Simple Tab Groups[0], which how it seems to do this is by bookmarks. I think something like this is a godsend for tab hoarders like us (100? Gotta pump up those numbers!). Making native would be really nice and would be great to containerize them. Especially across devices and accounts (I never want to use my Firefox account on a work computer. I wish send would come back so I can send tabs and links between different devices. Or maybe like "partnered" or "containered" accounts because we all have multiple machines we want to not just share everything across, but I'm digressing). Grouping tabs by projects or tasks really helps manage so you don't get a ton of orphaned tabs. You can just close the group when you complete.
- Duplicate Tab Closer[1]. For the tab hoarder, this is such a critical addon. When treating tabs like temporary bookmarks (which is why we hoard?), you may run into a tab again and not having dupes really prevents things from exploding. I just wish I had a bit more control/explanantions and could interact with the tab groups.
- Auto Tab Discard[2]: "caches" tabs so they aren't actively running or taking up your ram. I wish it actually cached though because this more seems like it just bookmarks because you reload the page when you come back rather than quickly pull a cache. I know because sometimes a page will go down and I have lost it
I know us tab hoarders aren't a big market share, but I think these types of tools, if made native, could also really help a lot of other people. I'd really love the idea of being able to sync specific tab groups across containerized accounts, so I can do things like share a group of tabs between home and work machines.
IDK, what do others think? What do you use to manage tab hoarding? My hardest problem is properly purging[side note]
[side note] this is an extra problem on mobile. Often I don't realize I'm opening new tabs because when I just open the browser sometimes it drops me in the last one and sometimes I'm on the "home page" (new tab). So I get orphaned tabs this way. And on mobile it is even harder to group and deal with "inactive" tabs. Which for me are frequently research papers. And we all know Zotero and Mendeley are shit. Seriously, why can't I easily load them into my ipad and mark up those documents, share marked or unmarked, attach notes or communal share? Do the creators do research? Sorry, off topic again.
