Fixing bookmarks would cure tab hoarders like me.
What have you tried? Just curious as I use Pocket and I am somewhat satisfied with it, though I rarely end up reading any of the articles I bookmark.
I was actually a big user of firefox panorama. I know that it wasn’t easy to discover but it was the best idea of tabs I’ve seen. Expose, grids, and multiple desktops work the best for switching windows, why not have it for tabs? I think that with the right desktop environment we could completely get rid of most tabs. Windows and ie were terrible with opening new windows which made tabs a necessity, but really they s…
I never really got to grips with having different sets of tabs within the same window -- that's the kind of thing I use multiple windows for. But I still have the extension installed because it's the easiest way to show several hundred tabs in a way which means I can avoid loading the content just to close tabs.
I would love to see a Miro-style, infinite canvas, tiling tab manager. If I zoom out past the page, show me a canvas with thumbnails of all my tabs, that I can click and drag to group or arrange however I want. Then let me zoom into one of the thumbnails to switch to that tab. Basically Apple’s mobile Photos.app interface but for browser tabs.

Is this what you are describing?

I just wish there were a way to save page state along with a bookmark or similar. Sometimes I'd really like to close a ton of tabs, or just close my browser, or a whole window, and reopen tomorrow. But I'm relying on scroll position to know where I am in 20 different documents, or login credentials that only last for 24 hours, or certain comment threads that have been expanded while others have been collapsed, or my…
Amna can do this (kind of). If you don't explicitly "close" a a browser window within Amna, it will just minimize the window. So it preserves the state (e.g scroll), while still giving you freedom to work on something else with a clean slate. It's not perfect, since the tabs aren't really closed, they'd be just out of sight. But it's a start in that direction. On the flip-side, in case your computer shuts down or whatever, the tabs are saved still.
One challenge I've run into state preservation is auth, a lot of websites actually log you out (e.g. AWS Console, Sendgrid), even if you have them open in the background.
What I wish had reliable persistence is Windows 10 virtual desktops.

Safari does this natively, you can pinch to zoom out with the magic trackpack or keyboard shortcut: https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/352694/can-i-disab... https://i.stack.imgur.com/lxfU9.png Is this what you are describing?

Clearly Chrome is keeping this info up-to-date in case it crashes (or someone kills it in task manager). So if its already doing this, they should add in a feature to to it manually, so I don't need to kill the task.
Based on what they show so far[1], I'm not really convinced tasks are the solution. The UI they present seems really clunky for 2021. > He means we need something richer, that we should be collecting information by “task” or another word he brings up again and again, “context.” Yes, context makes sense. But it needs to be context over time. Context that evolves and can be searched and revisited. You should be able to…
