Tab-Session-Manager VS sidebery

I also checked using two devices that it doesn't actually sync anything via Firefox Accounts.

By the way, Tab Session Manager [1] (another contender) can sync via Google Drive across different browsers (Firefox/Chrome).

Tab Session Manager. It’s had my back many a time. Can’t recommend enough. https://tab-session-manager.sienori.com

Tab Session Manager

Not sure if it does all of the same things since it has been a while since I made the switch - https://github.com/sienori/Tab-Session-Manager

Tab session manager by sienori. I have a weird bug where it duplicates tabs sometimes when I restore a session, so look out for that. It kind of helps to force me to keep the tab count down though lol https://tab-session-manager.sienori.com/

I use https://github.com/sienori/Tab-Session-Manager

I use the Tab Session Manager chrome extension to save tabs. The extension has the ability to export all your saved things as a JSON file. It also has the ability to import additional saved things via JSON as well.

Tab Session Manager has a setting that would probably work, though I haven't tried it. https://tab-session-manager.sienori.com/

Firefox seems to have problems around 8000 (or maybe it's just me?), so don't go there :).

If you do, and Firefox crashes at startup, you might need to delete (or better: rename) some files under .mozilla/firefox//:

.mozilla/firefox//sessionstore-backups/recovery.jsonlz4

.mozilla/firefox//sessionstore-backups/recovery.baklz4

.mozilla/firefox//sessionstore.jsonlz4

You'll obviously lose the tabs opened since the last start.

You can have a backup with Tab Session Manager (for Chrome too):

My go to solution for bookmarking is https://github.com/sienori/Tab-Session-Manager

(Available for Firefox https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tab-session-m... and Chrome https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/tab-session-manage...)

It understands whether a bookmark should be opened as a pinned tab, and the tree structure of tabs saved together as a window if you use tree style tabs (in Firefox). It also saves the history of the tab, so going back on history works

It can even open the tab session window in a tab instead of the small tooltip, by clicking on the expand button in the corner. For me this is a killer feature

The only issue is that it is oriented towards saving whole windows (or even whole sessions) rather than a single tab. There is UI for saving just a tab at once but it's a bit hidden. But for your intended use cases, its workflow is perfect

Saving a whole window at once is much better for this

Saving whole windows at time is much better for restoring your working memory, specially if you use tree style tabs.

Have you tried the Sidebery vertical tabs extension for Firefox?

I am using https://github.com/mbnuqw/sidebery for this now.

I frequently come across GitHub projects that don’t include any screenshots and the project will contain UI elements. I’m wondering if there is a reason why so many don’t include screenshots?

For example sidebery[1] didn’t have it. I use it and it’s great but it’s hard to get a sense of what it does Without actually showing a screenshot.

I don't think so. I use Sidebery and their recommended approach is to edit userChrome.css. It's not too bad and works well. See https://github.com/mbnuqw/sidebery/wiki/Firefox-Styles-Snipp....

I've only had a brief look through Siderbery's code before https://github.com/mbnuqw/sidebery. I'm not really sure where to start with Vivaldi extensions but I have been tempted to look into it. It's chromium, so chrome extensions will work, although Sidebery is sort of a kitchen sink conversion for Firefox and I'm not sure if something similar exists on Chrome.

I don’t think it was ever possible, based on the creator’s comments in this issue.
