Is there a tool which saves on the local machine the pages which were opened? So that e.g. browser can safely be closed, and then information from those pages searched, and page re-opened if needed? I remember there were some companies specializing in desktop-wide search...

I use OneTab for this. It feels like the browser equivalent of just sweeping all the papers on your desk into a drawer

  Once I get past about 15-20 it’s time to go on a ctrl w fest

  OneTab is great. I’m using daily. Though it lacks a proper way to sync the OneTab list between devices. I have been waiting for their development since years

  I used to use OneTab and it was fantastic. My new workplace won’t allow us to use it so every few days I’ll have to go through all my tabs. It’s so annoying and time consuming. Last time I was up to 513 tabs and it took me at least an hour. Once I get past a certain point I can’t find my old tabs and start opening duplicates so the problem gets worse.

Chrome almost always manages this

Pinboard[1] has a browser plugin that can do that with a "save tab set" command. Searching the saved bookmarks is a separate paid feature. [1] https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/

Chrome and Firefox have a setting to “reopen where I left off.” This will save your tabs when you quit and reopen them when you start a new browser window. Things get complicated when you have multiple windows open at the same time. “Bookmark all tabs” is a good workaround if you’re leery about plugins.

  Does it save the content? Suppose a site went down, or page is unavailable, or takes a long time to load, or the computer is offline - ?

    Nope. I see what you're getting at, though. Would be nice to have a "Download/Print all tabs" option a la "Bookmark all tabs."

Sideberry has a snapshot feature! I didn't write about it in the article but it's another huge reason why it's great. It stores your tabs in the panel properly. Additionally, you can also set it to save your tabs every [INTERVAL] as a backup system.

I use Tab Session Manager for this, works great and it can also sync your saved tabs to Google Drive if you so choose. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tab-session-manager/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tab-session-m... https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/tab-session-manager/iaiomicjabeggjcfkbimgmglanimpnae?hl=en https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/tab-session-manage...
