  A tiling window manager for X11

  

Probably separate windows for the tabs deserving to be promoted to apps and a tiling window manager would achieve what GP wants. We have comments here on HN praising i3.

However the always open tabs I use work with most of the time work better in full screen mode on my 15" laptop. Sentry, TeamCity, YouTrack, Bitbucket, AWS (more than one tab), Google Cloud Console, the web apps I'm working on. Little space for tiling.

• tab-stash

  5 679 7.8 TypeScript

  Firefox extension to save and restore tabs as bookmarks. Clear your tabs, clear your mind.

I migrated from Sidebery to Tab Stash [0]. I found the user experience to be a bit more streamlined; I don't find myself missing the tree-style structure, but the stashes it provides are a good replacement.

• OneTab-Night-Mode

  48 31 10.0 CSS

  Little theme for the onetab page to make it less eye raping.

+1 for https://www.one-tab.com/

To provide a bit more context: OneTab closes (all, or specific) tabs and dumps the URLs in a queue, grouped by window or category to be quickly popped open/combed through at your leisure.

It's great for the times I get sidetracked and need to hold onto thirty pages of docs without keeping them open at all times; I use it as a sort of tab purgatory which I will probably not revisit (I have 1025 tabs saved at the moment ).

  Tree Style Tab, Show tabs like a tree.

I've been using "Tree Style Tab" in combination with [1] to hide the old tabs and it's such a joy. I can group tabs by "topic" which is helpful when I'm working on multiple things in parallel which is pretty much always.
