I long for a browser optimized for research. Tab management would be an essential part of what I have in mind.
It would offer a management view, where each window is a column with a list of all open tabs. I can select the tabs I want, move them around, group them into a new window, and (this is the key) save them.
This would prompt me for a title, and would produce an ordinary Markdown text file with the title as an h1 header, each tab title as an h2 header, and the body of each section as just the repeated title with the link as the anchor.
I should be able to add any text I want, including more links in the appropriate format. And I can re-launch the tabs: the browser goes through the h2 headers and launches the first link it sees.
If I reorganize the tabs, the sections move around, and adding more tabs makes more sections, while leaving any textual metadata I have provided alone.
I could email one of these to someone, and they could open it as well.
It would ship with an in-browser Markdown text editor, such that the ordinary user would never have to leave the browser. But of course, being Just Plain Text, it would also be possible to edit it in one's editor of choice.
This would, and I exaggerate only slightly, change my life.
- lkbm 5y agoIt's nowhere near this advanced, but in Firefox you can shift-click tabs to select multiple, and then with Right-click you can choose "Bookmark Tabs", and it'll save them as a folder. You can then right click on the folder in your bookmarks and choose "Open all Bookmarks" (which will use the current window). I think Chrome has similar capability, but I haven't played around with it. An annotated document of bookmarks would be next-level, though.
- freediver 5y agoThis has the first part (window tabs as columns plus drag&drop management): https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/tab-organizer/gbaokejhnafeofbniplkljehipcekkbh?hl=en https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/tab-organizer/gbao...
