Initially I thought this might be an easier way for me to save sessions than my current session saving solution which doesn't make saving a single window a one click operation. I could use in conjunction with the split tabs to new window extension
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/tab-split/imjbfeponcaggdpmoiadjbafihlojbco https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/tab-split/imjbfepo...
to get just the tabs I want to save, and then put them in a new list. However I think I'll stick with Session Buddy
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/session-buddy/edacconmaakjimmfgnblocblbcdcpbko https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/session-buddy/edac...
as it allows:
1. naming of saved sessions (of which I have many). It's list of saved sessions will be easier scan to find the one I'm interested in.
2. opening of saved urls without removing them from the saved session. This I would find infuriating due to the way I use saved sessions as a more powerful bookmark feature.
Also, if I closed the OneTab tab there didn't appear to be a way to bring it back without creating a new list.
Some features that I'd like to see in a session saving chrome extension:
1. Sync to my google account with chrome extension syncing. Sessions Buddy will hopefully have this in the next release but it's been in development for over a year...
2. Multiple saved session lists so I can separate sessions between e.g. work/private, or "things I want to get back to" and "archived things that might be useful in future."
3. Integration with omnibar searching.
1 and 3 Could be done by saving sessions as bookmarks, which is what FreshStart does
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/freshstart-cross-browser/nmidkjogcjnnlfimjcedenagjfacpobb https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/freshstart-cross-b...
but I don't use that extension because of it's confusing UI.
After Edit:
I should have mentioned. The easiest way I've found to limit chrome memory is to firstly only enable the extensions I use on a day to day basis, and enable/disable others as needed using Extension Manager
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/extensions-manager-aka-sw/lpleipinonnoibneeejgjnoeekmbopbc https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/extensions-manager...
and then kill every tab process in the chrome task manager after chrome starts up. I usually have 90-100 tabs and currently have 142 tabs open. My system would grind to a halt if I didn't do this.
