1 - Right-click empty space next to the tabs and select 'Bookmark all tabs' 2 - Name the bookmark folder (within the top-level bookmark folder) something like: 'Tab-mess-from-<date-time>' 3 - Ctrl-F4 close them. Press and hold Ctrl, then F4 them one at a time. You can close 200+ tabs in a minute. (or as other suggested, right-click any tab and use the option 'close other tabs').

> Ctrl-F4 close them. Press and hold Ctrl, then F4 them one at a time. Ctrl-F4 shuts down entire browser, Ctrl-W closes each tab with a press of w. This is behavior in Ubuntu and it holds true for most application windows.

  Alt-F4 closes the entire browser, and indeed Ctrl-F4 closes the current tab. (Just tried it out, I've always used Ctrl-W for that.)

    My bad now I tried the Ctrl+F4 and yes it works exactly the way OP said. I assumed he was talking about Alt+F4 :)

I open a new window for each "task" and open tabs in that window, if it is non trivial I also move that window to a new Desktop/Space. When I want to shelve a task I bookmark all the tabs in that window into a dedicated folder then close the whole window and the desktop.

  you should try amna, which basically automates that process. You make a task, it gives you a chrome window for the task and syncs your work. You can then close the browser, and the data is saved. http://getamna.com http://getamna.com

I've used this extension for doing mass closes: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/sorted-tabs/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/sorted-tabs/ As a bonus you can arrange URLs by name, url, or time next to each other, so it's usually fast to churn through related or duplicate tabs.

There is a browser extension called onetab that does this for you. The issue i find is that even if you create the perfect system, you still rarely m go back and revisit these tabs kept open.

  Try amna - https://getamna.com https://getamna.com. It can make this a little better by storing the tabs as part of a task. Soo you can get back to them as part of a context rather than just a link.
