Sessionic: A cross-browser extension to save, manage, restore tabs and sessions
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).

Considering a move from WF Classic to main WF, question about 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

And no, I haven't removed all the videos on it that I *did* manage to watch...
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/

Hoping for help with a tech issue involving JSON...BUT...entirely self-taught/clueless so need an ELI5 version of support
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.

How could I re-open ALL tabs from previous session from another PC ??
Tab Session Manager has a setting that would probably work, though I haven't tried it. https://tab-session-manager.sienori.com/

The Browser Tab Count
7859.
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):

Why are bookmarks second class citizens in browsers?
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
> i want to be able to quickly load common favorite news sites & blogs.
> or load a window with all my productivity SaaS sites.
Saving a whole window at once is much better for this
> or pick up where i left off on a research rabbit hole.
Saving whole windows at time is much better for restoring your working memory, specially if you use tree style tabs.

Brave's AI assistant now integrates with PDFs and Google Drive
If ads, in particular on YouTube, are the problem, anything Chromium-based is probably only going to get worse and worse (see [1] and [2]). So that basically leaves you with Firefox and Safari.
I work for Mozilla (speaking for myself, of course), so I'll leave you to guess which I'd recommend :P

What are the compelling advantages of Chrome nowadays?
Chrome is working to limit the capabilities of ad blockers:
https://www.malwarebytes.com/blog/news/2023/11/chrome-pushes...
Whereas a compelling advantage of Firefox is that uBlock Origin works best in Firefox:
https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/uBlock-Origin-works-b...
Advertising networks have often been vectors for malware. Using an ad blocker is an important security measure. Even the FBI recommends ad blockers:

Brave Leo now uses Mixtral 8x7B as default
> It allows for 30,000 dynamic rules
That is not what we mean by dynamic filters. From https://developer.chrome.com/blog/improvements-to-content-fi...
> However, to support more frequent updates and user-defined rules, extensions can add rules dynamically too, without their developers having to upload a new version of the extension to the Chrome Web Store.
What Chrome is talking about is the ability to specify rules at runtime. What critics of Manifest V3 are talking about is not the ability to dynamically add rules (although that can be an issue), it is the ability to add dynamic rules -- ie rules that analyze and rewrite requests in the style of the blockingWebRequest permission.
It's a little deceptive to claim that the concerns here are outdated and to point to vague terminology that sounds like it's correcting the problem, but on actual inspection turns out to be entirely separate functionality from what the GP was talking about.
> Giving this ability to extensions can slow down the browser for the user. These ads can still be blocked through other means.
This is the debate; most of the adblocking community disagrees with this assertion. uBO maintains a list of some common features that are already not possible to support in Chrome ( https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/uBlock-Origin-works-b... ) and has written about features that are not able to be supported via Chrome's current V3 API ( https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBOL-home/wiki/Frequently-as... ). Of particular note are filtering for large media elements (I use this a lot on mobile Firefox, it's great for reducing page size), and top-level filtering of domains/fonts.

> "Its happened before"
> That's not an argument
It's a subheading to "2. Browser engine monopoly". The subsection's purpose is describing how bad things were during the IE monopoly to reinforce that it's something to be avoided.
> in fact you could counter-argue that IE left a lot of technical debt
That would be agreeing with the article, unless I understand what you mean.
> On top of that, the internet was very different back then.
In a way that now makes it harder for truly new competing engines to pop up due to increased complexity of the web.
> I'm still not convinced, why would I change my browser?
The points made in the article are:
* Increased privacy, opposed to willingly giving your data to an ad-tech company
* Helps avoid a browser engine monopoly which would effectively let Google dictate web standards
* It’s fast and has a nice user interface
Onto which I'd add:
* Content blockers work best on Firefox (https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/uBlock-Origin-works-b...), doubly so when Manifest V3 rolls out
* Allows more customization of interface and home page
* UX improvements, like the clutter-free reader mode, aren't vetoed to protect search revenue as with Chrome (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37675467)

Ask HN: Is Firefox team too small to do serious security tests?
Advertising networks are vectors for malware:
https://www.cisecurity.org/insights/blog/malvertising
https://www.malwarebytes.com/malvertising
https://theconversation.com/spyware-can-infect-your-phone-or...
So if you're concerned about security then you want the browser with the best ad blocker.
