Man, okay so clearly we all agree there's a problem and it sounds like we all have different ideas for a solution. One of my pet ideas - that I'm yet to see a real implementation of - is a Hacker News comments section style history.
Each new session would start a new comments section.
Each new manually opened tab would be a top level 'comment' (with timestamp).
Each pageload would be a paragraph in that 'comment'.
Each new tab opened via a link would be a 'reply' to that comment quoting the 'paragraph' it was opened from.
That seems like a good metaphor to me because it solves the traceability of "How did I get to this page". It doesn't solve the UI of tabs though, though maybe it makes it less necessary to keep tabs open.
- TeMPOraL 7y agoTabs Outliner seems to match some of these ideas. I've had it installed some years ago, but didn't end up using it that much. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/tabs-outliner/eggkanocgddhmamlbiijnphhppkpkmkl https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/tabs-outliner/eggk...
- vxNsr 7y agoI use it, but not often enough to make a real dent, my issue is that it isn't integrated into the browser, it's a feature that with some UI tweaks could really make everyone a poweruser, the concept itself is powerful but the un-extensibility of chrome (and browsers in general) holds it back from being a true first party app.
- TeMPOraL 7y agoAgreed. And it's one of the reasons why I dislike the trend of the browsers being increasingly locked down and non-modifiable. Soon, even to recreate this plugin you'll have to run a parallel fork of a browser.
