Browser Tab Hoarding: How do you organize/archive your research? Trying to reach Tab Zero.
Not to be an enabler or anything, but have you tried Auto Tab Discard? Only active tabs will be loaded, so you can have thousands upon thousands of tabs without any impact on memory usage or performance.
-
That's true.
Also https://github.com/rNeomy/auto-tab-discard, which despite the name, doesnโt close tabs, it just unloads them from memory.
-
Is there any addon that suspends/ hibernates tabs and restores them back when required like in Chromium based browsers there's "the great suspender" or "tiny suspender" and keeps a copy of tabs suspended as backup file on device?
I'm using Auto Tab Discard for very fine control but it is not needed most of the time. FF does this automatically now via Tab Unloading
- Edge like sleeping tabs possibility with userChrome.js?
- How to get rid of xdotool's annoying delay?

Overcoming Tab Overload
Thanks for your reply. It's good to hear that Tabs Outliner is a favorite for other power users out there. Interesting that you had a great synergy between it and The Great Suspender. I myself hadn't ever used The Great Suspender before hearing about it's recent demise. It sounded pretty useful, and upon looking for alternatives, I discovered the cross-browser extention Auto Tab Discard. FYI: https://github.com/rNeomy/auto-tab-discard

Ask HN: Why is Chrome so awful on OS X?
I'd call myself a power user when it comes to browsers and tabs.
I had exactly the same thoughts a few months ago, but having 500+ tabs open and getting a few system freezes for a few seconds I thought that's how it is. Even though I'm running it on a 2019 Pro with 16 GB.
But then I gave Firefox a new shot and it's amazing. I'm currently sitting at 547 tabs and I can even play YouTube videos via the picture in picture mode without any problems while building an Docker image.
You should definitely use an addon for discarding tabs. I'm currently using "Auto Tab Discord"[1] which is kinda the same what "The Great Suspender" was. Additionally I can recommend "Tab Session Manager"[2] if you're having an addition to tabs like me. Both are available for Chrome and Firefox.

Too many chrome tabs....
It can be controlled via the extension policy stuff in the admin console, here's the schema file.

I no longer trust The Great Suspender
I recently switched to Auto Tab Discard.[1] It uses the browser's built-in tab suspending. It doesn't have all the features of TGS, though.

What is a website everyone should know about?
There's also an extension for both Chrome and Firefox called Recipe Filter, which gives you a popup with just the recipe on those blog sites. Works pretty well.

Show HN: OnlyRecipe.app โ Remove clutter from recipe sites. No story, no popups
I get loads of really kind emails and messages on a daily basis from the users. It's been really rewarding in that way. A couple ideas that people have put forth seem really reasonable, such as unit conversions, print-friendly pages, and automatic nutrition labels. In fact, I'd actually love those too as a cook!
One feature that would improve the recipe recognition and unlock lots of other features where it's found would be JSON-LD support. I'm seeing lots of recipe pages containing those handy, structured formats lately.
A comment about JSON-LD: https://github.com/sean-public/RecipeFilter/issues/22#issuec...
But all of these things stray from the fundamental simplicity of what it does. The code is just 92 lines of JS and works (or breaks!) transparently. If I started adding features, it would quickly become another complex system to maintain and I have plent of that at work ;)

Ask HN: What browser extensions are a must-have for HNers in 2021?
Lots of good extensions in this thread.
Here are some optional extensions I like:
- Twemex - https://twemex.app/ - Adds a really useful sidebar to Twitter.
- Recipe Filter - https://github.com/sean-public/RecipeFilter - Focuses recipes front and center on food blogs
- Notion Boost - https://gourav.io/notion-boost - Adds a lot of really nice features to Notion
- Tampermonkey - https://www.tampermonkey.net/ - Lets you create your own JS customizations on web pages without needing to make a whole browser extension.
I really wish it was far easier for everyday people to make their own personal browser extension-like functionality and share it with others. Extending the apps we use feels really empowering and can help people transition from helpless consumers of apps to authors of how their computer works. Here's an essay I like detailing this view:
https://www.geoffreylitt.com/2019/07/29/browser-extensions.h...
And while I'm here I'd also like to plug a service I wrote that lets you easily add paid features to extensions you develop:
I made it to use myself but lots of developers have found it useful in monetizing their extensions without ads or selling user data. And even to my surprise, users are actually willing to pay for browser extensions! The service has made devs over $13k since I launched earlier this year!
