This reminds me a lot of Firefox tab groups/panorama which was removed a few years ago. I like the history idea, there are some really good ideas there. I tried finding something in my history on Firefox recently and it was an awful experience, so maybe someone will be inspired by this.

  I tried that addon, and it is not the same thing. Panorama was an overlay, but this opens a new tab to view your groups. This doesn't really work when you have hundreds of tabs. I'm pretty sure that the old Panorama view is not possible with webextensions, although I haven't really looked into it.

    I don't get what the difference is, except that in the old version there was no tab bar in the overview, whereas in the new version the tab bar is still there with just a single tab that says "Panorama view"? I don't see how that interferes with the number of tabs you have? I have quite a few tabs as well, no problem there. This is what it looks like if you press Ctrl+Shift+F: https://addons.cdn.mozilla.net/user-media/previews/full/200/200289.png?modified=1530209514 https://addons.cdn.mozilla.net/user-media/previews/full/200/... If you then click one of the tabs, the tab bar gets populated by the tabs in that group. (Perhaps you tried this extension before the tab hiding Web Extension API arrived? That only arrived in the latest version of Firefox, IIRC.)

      >Perhaps you tried this before tab hiding I might have done so. The problem I had is that I was in the middle of a few hundred tabs and opening panorama opened a new tab at the end of the list making me lose my place. If it hides all tabs when you open panorama it might work well enough. I'll try it again, thanks for letting me know.

        In that case I think you're going to like the extension now - I did :)
