I usually have at least 6 browser windows open with at least 10 or more tabs each.
I wish there was a better way to do it.
I work on projects for a few days or hours at a time, and maybe only 10 of those tabs are relevant to a given project.
I'd like to be able to somehow only have the relevant tabs for my current project or train of thought.
Someone suggested I use the people profiles in Chrome which seems a good idea but obviously not good enough cause I'm not doing it.
- mixmastamyk 7y agoMany editors have projects where you open a group of documents with associated settings. Browsers have almost everything they need to do this too.
- kurtisc 7y agoEditors can assume a level of RTFM that browsers will not. If it's not discoverable enough for someone unfamiliar, it won't make it in.
- mixmastamyk 7y agoThere's a menu with "New Project" and "Close Project." Never had to read a manual, for that part anyway.

Back when Opera was an innovative browser, it had a really useful tab grouping feature which let you achieve the same thing as you describe but without requiring a separate browser instance.
- nicoburns 7y agoFirefox's simple tab groups plugin is pretty good for this.

- wazoox 7y agoTree Style tab does this and more. You can pin permanent tabs on top, and keep the others neatly organized in a hierarchical tree.
- CWuestefeld 7y agoTree Style Tabs is the biggest thing anchoring me to Firefox - the reason why I can't switch to Chrome.
- ijidak 7y agoYeah, it would be useful for browsers to remember a set of tabs as a session. Then it would be easy to "temp close" tabs when one activity is done. But get back to it when needing to context shift back to that activity.
- asadkn 7y agoHad struggled with this for 8+ years with usually 200+ tabs open, even started coding my own extension for this. And tried at least 30 extensions. Finally settled on https://workona.com/ https://workona.com/ . It's not exactly perfect and I disable the tab cache feature via settings to basically open each workplace in a different window instead of replacing an existing one. But otherwise, it's perfect.
- wtdata 7y agoAny idea of a similar extension for Firefox?
