I’ve used tabs as todos as well, but I’ve mostly moved them to a giant markdown document. Being able to select multiple tabs at once (shift-clicking) is great. I also have extensions for copying and injecting URLs. It’s normal for me to open hundreds of tabs in one go, and start closing them. Nowdays, it’s impossible without seeing three rows of half-width tabs. The best help has been multi-row_tabs.css in /mrotherguy/firefox-csshacks. Yet at some point, I began filing everything as ‘for later’, doing mindless pushing.

Then it grew out of hand, peaking to ~3.3k tabs in summer of 2021.Īt first, it allowed me to work on a thing, switch to another thing, and later back without any context loss. After breaking that mental restriction in late 2019, it grew to 300-500, where I needed to get help. I used to not be able to have more than 20 tabs open. I am not sure if marvelous suspender has changed anything in regards to how it suspends tabs. If your browser crashes or you remove or disable the great suspender you can possibly lose the tabs managed by it’s sessions in some circumstances. It’s better than the great suspender because the suspended tabs don’t rely on the addon (and it’s sessions) to survive. Despite it’s name, it unloads tabs, not closes them.

OneTab can definitely handle dumping thousands of tabs into it’s page (even if it might take a bit and look like things are frozen for a while), but using it with tens of thousands of tabs is basically going to be opening up an basic html webpage with tens of thousands of links on browser start.Īlso note that “auto tab discard” (also for firefox and chrome is a good alternative to the great suspender. At this point your usage of tabs is a pathological usurpation of your browser’s history feature lmao. Wew, yeah that’s like way more of an order of magnitude worse than I’ve ever been. To me, this is a major extension that I got VERY use to using and relying on, and in all honesty it was probably a bad thing considering it has me almost completely tied to one browser because of it. So I have to ask, are any of the options given here able to deal with this absolute cluster of a situation? because honestly certain things are idea for my use, if I was able to shut down firefox, have all the tabs save/offload and only open up a certain set that I always keep up, that would be very useful, but what tabs outliner does seems to combine several functions,Įffectively a bookmark system for tab closing,Īlong with management tools that let me move tabs within that window and have them change on program. about 15000 of them are directly from a website I use shutting down temporarily and me needing to use other sites, I have yet to merge all the data there back into the site now that its back up. tabs outliner has upwards 75000 tabs to go through later… yea it got a bit out of hand, and I can probably just outright remove around 50000 of them. Ok, let me go this way with a bit of an explanation, as of right now chrome has 1599 tabs both open and suspended if I parsed everything and closed what is done I could probably get this down to about 10 open tabs and 200 suspended (alot of what I keep track of just needs to be re opened and checked every now and then, easier to keep them up and suspended). There are a few other extensions that I have found replacements for, however nothing seems to be similar to tabs outliner, or at least without serious compromises, anyone know something for this? also, marvelous suspender for chrome seems to be one of the better suspension extensions, is there anything good for this for firefox.Īnd on a side note, is there any extension I may overlook that really helps with tab hoarding in firefox that may outdo chrome? I know it’s not a problem I should enable but its a problem that isn’t going away. Tabs outliner - possibly the best extension for using tabs as it lets me close out tabs and effective have them as bookmarks that actually get used unlike the programs normal book marks The marvelous suspender - for suspending tabs/freeing ram, I find if I bookmark things they never get dealt with but if I leave a tab there it does get dealt with over time Ok, due to my recent… issues with chrome, i’m trying to move away from it for anything but multimedia going forward, but I have a few extensions I need help with finding a replacement for.
