Tabs are not files. If you need to save things, use bookmarks. If you don’t, don’t keep clutter around. Do you still keep all the files in the download folder since 2013?

Nope, I split them into folders, just like I split my tabs into sessions

It's evident that the one-line-of-tabs UI is not enough for your use case. Bookmarks already definitely have better UX for organization, they can even be renamed, tagged, searched… natively! > Did you notice the word 'sessions' in the title? That's for organizing My point is that you can store your "sessions" in a bookmarks folder. Browsers have made it excessively easy to "save all tabs" and "open all bookmarks" already. "Saving a tab session" is literally indistinguishable from "Saving all tabs as bookmarks", you're just duplicating a native browser feature by installing a 3rd party extension that has access to your entire browser history.

    Bookmarks work fine for saving tabs if you open everything in one window. Starts failing miserably once you want to save a set of windows and their tabs.
