  • sessionic

    A web extension to save, manage and restore sessions, windows and tabs.

  • Looks like the extension uses idb which is a wrapper around IndexedDB.

    Did not check if there is any sync to the outside world though.

  • SessionSync

    SessionSync

  • I am using a similar extension, but it exists only for Firefox and has an ability to sync sessions. It just saves sessions as bookmark folders, and sync is done natively by Firefox Account Sync. Despite the last update was in 2019, it still works pretty well.

  • better-onetab

    :bookmark_tabs: A better OneTab for Chrome :memo: Temporarily removed from firefox :construction: V2 is WIP

  • Tab-Session-Manager

    WebExtensions for restoring and saving window / tab states

  • 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).

  • lunabrain

    AI-assisted writing tool.

  • I really like the idea of mining your own browsing history for insight. I think that the value of our browsing history is completely lost to us because the lack of tooling to make saving and searching more accessible.

    It's still WIP but I've been building a browser extension for this on GitHub here: https://github.com/lunabrain-ai/lunabrain

    My goal is to be able to use the Internet as normal, but have the extension automatically index and rank content I find important. For example, if I spend 5 minutes on a page that I went to after Hackernews, odds are I found that important so it should be considered in my history differently than other things.

    The network effect of this data is pretty interesting too. It would be really cool to see what my friends, or other high trust, high signal, groups i am in find interesting. Being on a page where my mentor has stared, annotated, shared this before will probably give me pause and make me consider this page more deeply.

    I'm curious if anybody else has any notes to share.
