Tab Manager Plus
Set to "Open in own tab by default"
Set to "Dark mode"
Set to "Vertical view" -- very important
You can live search your tab titles to select them
You can open all selected tabs in their own window
You can close selected tabs
You can "discard" tab contents (different from close, the tab is there but content is gone)
You can highlight/select duplicate tabs
You can hide not selected tabs
You can pin selected tabs (unfortunately, they still only appear on the one window they are pinned to, they just get pinned to the left of the tab bar)
You can drag and drop selected tabs to another window of your choice, both the representation of that window in the TMP tab, but also into the other firefox window itself. That means, drag and drop from here, is the same as pulling out a tab out of a normal firefox window !
Cannot search text inside of tabs, especially not sleeping tabs
Sometimes I press the TMP button and I just get a bluegreen screen, doesn't work until I close many windows and tabs
I would prefer real dark mode with my preferred colours
I would like to easily drop&close tabs into bookmark folders reliably !
Dude you need to organize your stuff better. Ain't no way you need so many tabs open all the time
Naw dawg, my ADHD doesn't let me close tabs, and it also makes it so I don't want to look at them right now, but maybe later...
You can't look at all the tabs, each tab is a 10 hour rabbit hole. If you put them in the bookmark manager, you will never see them again. If you try to sort them, you will certainly fall into the rabbit hole, even just reading the tab titles you might fall in. That's why the tab manager, you type key words, pull out into a window and stay focused into that topic.
You're right I need to organize my stuff better! But believe it or not, I do have most of the time that many tabs open...
Always something new to learn and something new to search for and gradually adds up to more than 40 tabs....
:/ Sometimes I need to save them as a snapshot because I have "no time" right now to refractor them and write down what I learned/important info... Most of the time I'm just to lazy to go through them again.
Kinda sad because there is valuable info I didn't take notes about, and will go through them again... 😮💨
But evaluating a tab, deciding I have extracted all the information and that this tab is no longer useful.
This is more labour than all other activities combined.
But even worse than that. Going through the list of all tabs, each tab is a different topic, I need to context-switch to evaluate if I need that tab.
Imagine you are going through one task, but then you think about your last 10 tasks before doing the next thing in your current task. This is a complete mind wipe.
Sorting and closing tabs manually, is simply not worth my time. This is why I use tab management tools, I let the computer do the sorting for me.
What I need is an AI assitant to do stuff like "real all my tabs, assign a category to each tab, now pull out all tabs related to my RF low noise amplifier project to a new window".
Doing this by hand is extremely tedious and massively slows me down.
