I tried solving this problem a while back - using a task based approach - where you create a meta-tab for a logical task and organize tabs under it. You can close, open, suspend, archive tasks. History, bookmarks and other browsing artifacts are associated with tasks. Sadly I couldn't take it beyond prototyping. I have made multiple attempts to - but failed.

I am still waiting for a plugin which allows me to impose a efficient low-cost organisation layer over tabs (have made multiple feeble attempts to do a plugin which helps organize tabs using mind-maps, a org structure that is my personal favorite). I have tried almost all plugins over the years which could potentially solve this for me - but have not been successful in finding one that fits my needs.
- diydsp 13y agointeresting! I wonder if perhaps a logical way to combine "pages" is into a "book" or a "codex". It would kewl if this vein of technology grows. Perhaps cached tabs could store a snapshot for offline-browsing and recall after the page is down, too... ...or if multiple web pages could be combined into a single browser page. Yes, some kind of meta-layer would be neat. Maybe even combine a "multipath" "narrative" "storyline" into a navigable structure for communicating ideas from multiple perspectives, like news stories or technical manuals or software/hardware/testing/docs of the same product.. sorry for all the quotes and sky-high speculation - i'm buzzing on caffeine, and very excited to chat with other people about the possibilities of extra-tabular information navigation!
