I use and can recommend the chrome extension from https://sessionbuddy.com/ Even if you don't use it actively, it periodically saves the state of your windows and tabs (all locally), so you can restore sessions from months and years ago.
I don't understand why a simple export of the list of current tabs open is not a basic, built-in feature of the browser. I am not asking for management or storage or export or sharing ... or anything interesting at all. I should just be able to go to: chrome://tabs (or whatever) and see a text list of tab URLs. All browsers should have this functionality.
chrome://inspect/#pages

I think my tabs mostly belong to one of two categories: * Research about a subject (that I didn't close when I continued to the next one) * "Oh that's interesting, I'll read it later" I do remember that 10+ years ago I used to have a nice collection of bookmarks, each with relevant tags. Then one day I had to switch browsers due to performance issues, the new browser didn't support tags from the previous one so lost…
I'm very similar to you... i even made a webext to help me find tabs quickly as i will tend to open a window do something and then open up a few tabs in that window and eventually minimize the window to dock. if you have a hundred tabs open across many windows you come into a situation of where did that tab go? now it's just cmd-shift-e and visually scroll through the list of open tabs and then click on the link to b…
I'm a heavy Tree Style Tab user, though, and tree-state isn't reflected in your addon. Would you consider implementing the support (and maybe easy JSON export of the generated list)?
In any case, thanks for your efforts.
Serious question, people who have hundreds or thousands of tabs at a time, why? Personally I've never found the need to have so many tabs open.
You can favorite an item from the list view of items, but it adds it to the favorite list without prompting to sort into another list, which is worse than the YT or FB implementations of collection sorting. It's also easier to miss the prompt on the item view page since it only pops up for a few seconds. It ends up being easier to just open all the tabs and never favorite items I might want or not instead of going through favorites.
I tend to open various tabs to read things on Reddit, Wikipedia, research papers, etc in general and not come around to them either.
On top of that sometimes I leave things open because I want to share it later and haven't found a tool that makes it easy to sort collections like this. Pinterest is okay for things that have images, but the usability is not quite there either.

Thank you for your extension; I'm a user and it really helps me find the tab in my Firefox "window-forest". I'm a heavy Tree Style Tab user, though, and tree-state isn't reflected in your addon.

Really like OneTab for this same functionality. https://www.one-tab.com - For Firefox and Chrome. Differences, clicking OneTab's "Share as web page" will give you a link with the date-time you merged your tabs into the OneTabs list as well as a QR Code. Saving tabs and also saving memory, when it auto merges them into a single space.
I really wish OneTab could sync between different computers. I regularly use three different machines and hate when I can't find a Tab I saved on one of the machines I'm not currently using.

Been using one one tab for last 3years and I have around 3000 tabs list :)
I hope you take backups - I lost 500 tabs stored in OneTab about 3 years ago. Just launched the browser like always, only to see blank onetab page. It probably wasn’t the extension’s fault but browser’s (I don’t remember whether I was using Vivaldi or Opera at that time), but that day I moved to https://pinboard.in

Hey, care to describe, in brief when you get a sec, pinboards difference or benefits to onetab?
You can export your bookmarks in JSON, HTML or XML. I have a Python script that takes the JSON export and sends my bookmarks to archive.org's Save Page Now! service https://pastebin.com/uUVE22RD .
The biggest downside is that UI is slower, as obviously a web server is involved. But I like the UX flow provided by BrowserNative's Pinboard extension[0]: Alt+P to open bookmarking page, hit few letters of a tag, hit Tab to accept suggestion, hit Enter to Save, hit Ctrl+W to close the tab.
I have to say however, that my use case is primarily saving stuff "for future reference" or as long-term todo. I still have 20+ tabs open for short-lived stuff. Perhaps your workflow may differ.
What I miss a bit about onetab is the ability to quickly save or restore a whole set of tabs, and how you can open and delete a link in a single click.

Thanks this is really handy for me. In the past, I had to export tabs via the "Cluster - Window Manager" Extension and then finagle the CSV into an HTML file before I stuck in my Google Drive. Also, do you know if there is a version of this for Firefox?
