I don't understand why a simple export of the list of current tabs open is not a basic, built-in feature of the browser.
I am not asking for management or storage or export or sharing ... or anything interesting at all. I should just be able to go to:
chrome://tabs
(or whatever) and see a text list of tab URLs. All browsers should have this functionality.
- sneak 7y agoI don't understand a lot of things about browsers, including why they don't log/persist caches of the full content of all history (for full text search at the minimum), why they still send user-agent headers, why they persist all cookies for all domains by default, et c. It's making me rather cynical, because I'd like to think that browsers are user agents, but I think these days they're just advertising company agents that happen to run on users' computers.
- kranner 7y agoFor full-text search over all history, History Hound (https://www.stclairsoft.com/HistoryHound/ https://www.stclairsoft.com/HistoryHound/) works pretty well if you're on macOS. [No affiliation, I'm just a user]

- rsync 7y agoThank you. I am not a chrome user, however - do any such utility pages exist for Firefox and Safari ?
- benjaminjackman 7y agoits frustrating, along a similar vein I was trying to export my history from firefox and ... well that wasnt happening.
- abrowne 7y agoFor Chrome/ium (very similar for Firefox) - Ctrl+Shift+D (bookmark all), optionally type name, press Enter - Ctrl+Shift+O [Cmd+Shift+ B on Mac IIRC] (open bookmarks), click on the folder or navigate to it with Tab and arrows - Important: press Tab to select the contents rather than the folder - Ctrl+A, Ctrl+C
