Neat! Thus should be a native feature. Speaking of should-be features, ever since groups came out I’ve wanted the ability to save and load named groups.

#12What I want is tab groups by concept or activity. Let’s say I’m looking for info on a new grill I’d start a new tab session and give it a quick name of ”grill” and it’d group all tabs and history under that. I could expand and collapse it and otherwise go back to other things tab groups.
OneTab will do something like this. If you click icon it will send all tabs into one group and if you name that group you can later add current tab, tabs on left or right or all opened tabs to this group.

#13A very similar feature comes out of the box with Vivaldi[0], which I have been trying out recently. Whilst I'm particularly enjoying all the configurability so far, it's too early for me to recommend it.

#14neat idea, but it doesn't respect pinned tabs, and the UI is buggy. uninstalled for now.
Who cares if you uninstalled it? The dev made something out of creativity. For you to think your usage matters is insane. Just give feedback or stay quite.

Your comment is self-contradictory - this is Show HN and they just gave their feedback.

#15neat webext but I'm curious why no firefox release? after a brief perusal of the code it doesn't look like the code has any glaring incompatibilities.

#16Interesting, but would not really use it unless it could auto group by url. I don't want to have to set things up. Like if I have more than X tabs for a site, group them automatically. This would be great when debugging/learning and I have 20-30 tabs open and more than half might be to one new site that contains the docs for x thing I'm doing/learning.

You should have a look at Vivaldi
If you use a laptop my experience with Vivaldi is that under both Windows and Linux it is a giant battery drain. Also if you use a touchpad gestures for your browser navigation it currently doesn't support doing so.

This Chrome extension allows you to name and annotate your entire browser session in a tree structure, and unlike TST on Firefox, it is not limited to a single window. In addition, it allows you to unload entire subtrees, and you can restore subtrees (or the whole session) on another computer.

It looks like this utilizes Chrome's tab groups, which Firefox doesn't have.
