tabist

I have a extension that does that almost pretty identically to what you are looking for... it does list out every page you have but doesn't list the url. there is an unreleased version that I use that has a tab dumping to json that I use for just that session restore reason. Maybe I'll finish the updated version and release it soon. feel free to check it out: https://github.com/fiveNinePlusR/tabist https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tabist/ https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/tabist/hdjegjggiog...

Does everything i wanted it to do and nothing more. I also made it because there were some hidden tabs sometimes that would play audio and I have a special section for tabs playing audio. I don't think that's as big a selling point anymore since autoplay can be disabled pretty reliably now but when I wrote it it was a big annoyance to me. In the end it's personal preference I guess. ~~link in bio if you want to try it out.~~ https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/tabist/hdjegjggiog... https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tabist/ source: https://github.com/fiveNinePlusR/tabist

I wrote a little webext to help me find tabs in a visual way grouped by window. middle click closes the tab and left click brings the tab you click on to the forefront. It's simple but something I use many times every day. feel free to try it out: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tabist/ https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/tabist/hdjegjggiog... https://github.com/fiveNinePlusR/tabist

I wonder if my extension would work faster for you. I built it to be quick and simple so i can find a tab visually across many windows. basic features: click on a link to go to the tab, groups the tabs by windows, shows the favicon next to it, shows the tabs that are making noise, and allows you to close the tab via middle mouse button. cmd(or ctrl on pc)-shift-e opens it up in a tab. I'd be curious if you do try it to see how fast it is. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/tabist/hdjegjggiog... https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tabist/ https://www.github.com/fiveNinePlusR/tabist

for a lot of people you search for something to solve a problem. for instance debugging an issue. you middle click on a bunch of promising tabs and then go through them. if there is some useful information on that page you leave it open but it's rare that it's the only thing you need to know to solve your problem. another use is some API you need to use so you'd open up a bunch of tabs on the functions you are exploring how you need to use them. I also separate the issue by window too and also use tabs and windows as temporary bookmarks really. not worthy of a full bookmark but not finished with. I created an webextension to deal with handling those tabs because having a bunch of tabs across a bunch of windows is not the most ergonomic without one. might be useful for someone here I suppose: https://github.com/fiveNinePlusR/tabist https:/

I am like your friend... basically tabs are a "working memory" that you don't want to store permanently in bookmarks. each window or sets of windows is typically a different topic that is being research on with a bunch of middle clicks to open tabs. I have so many open that I wrote a small webext for it that shows a page of all your tabs that you can click on to navigate to that tab with a click. just a nicer interface to see all the windows open and all the tabs. https://github.com/fiveNinePlusR/tabist

I'm very similar to you... i even made a webext to help me find tabs quickly as i will tend to open a window do something and then open up a few tabs in that window and eventually minimize the window to dock. if you have a hundred tabs open across many windows you come into a situation of where did that tab go? now it's just cmd-shift-e and visually scroll through the list of open tabs and then click on the link to bring it front and center. might be useful to you: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tabist/ https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/tabist/hdjegjggiog... and open source too if someone feels like contributing: https://github.com/fiveNinePlusR/tabist

I have an extension that I wrote because I am similar to you and always had a hard time finding the tab I wanted.

you might like a small webextension I made for firefox and chrome that displays all the tabs in a new tab grouped by window. click on one of the links and it will open up the window and focus on that tab. firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tabist/ open source here: https://github.com/fiveNinePlusR/tabist

I think this is a pretty common practice. I know I have hundreds of tabs open as a temporary bookmark system over many windows(48 windows, 354 tabs right now) ... to the point that I made a simple extension to find what I am looking for visually and have links on the page that focus that window and tab. I find it pretty useful in practice. firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tabist/ chrome: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/tabist/hdjegjggiog... source: https://github.com/fiveNinePlusR/tabist

You might (might not) find my extension useful. I made it for people that horde tabs like you and me. It's a page that lists tabs per window visually and if you click on one of the links it focuses the tab for you. Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tabist/ and chrome: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/tabist/hdjegjggiog... It's also open source: https://github.com/fiveNinePlusR/tabist If you end up trying it, let me know if you find it useful/hate it or have something that should be added :)

I made a simple firefox/chrome extension for people that horde tabs as temp bookmarks. You might find it useful to find tabs and quickly navigate to them by clicking on the link in the list. It's free and open source. The github page has a gif showing usage. You can also type cmd-shift-e or ctrl-shift-e to switch to it.
