What 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.

I use the Tree Style Tab addon in Firefox for exactly that purpose. The addon doesn't have the concept of named groups, it is just an extension to organize tabs in a tree... but that's more than enough. Starting with a keyword search on the parent tab, all subsequent links are opened in child tabs that can be expanded / collapsed. When collapsed, the parent tab's title are the keywords, so it's a nice visual way to h…
It would be nice to have nodes in the tree that don't actually correspond to tabs though. For this specific use case of grouping.

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/tabs-outliner/eggk... 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.
Also every month or two I dump all my mobile chrome tabs over to my desktop Chrome, so that I can close all tabs on my phone.
i.e. History -> Tabs from other Devices -> Open All
Then I backup, search, and group my URL history hierarchy in the the tree-view of Tabs-outliner
neat 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.
It looks like this utilizes Chrome's tab groups, which Firefox doesn't have.
Is “open source” really a feature for browser extensions? I don’t think I’d ever use a proprietary one.
They've done a good job publishing specs for their on-disk formats, but thus far I've never seen anything for their extensions. Ironically, it's a tiny bit easier now that their in-browser uses the same API as does the "thick" client, but (AFAIK) that API still needs to be fully reversed enough to implement a separate extension
Yeah, yeah, I know, "but bitwarden!" I just haven't expended the energy to stand up my own password management infra in order to compare the features
What I really want is for my tab groups to sync across devices. I have to use a bunch of computers for various things (I have a half-dozen laptops tethered to their own VPNs) but they all exist for me to do work. News bulletin: it is impossible for me to segregate my work perfectly across 5 organizations. I can sync my tabs, but what I really need these days is a way to sync my tab groups.
I used to have 3 different browsers for 3 organizations. They all had same websites usually e.g. Email, social media sites for each organization respectively. Then I had another browser like FF Developer Edition for development, One more for Education and another in VM which gets invoked when needed for checking out URLs from unknown people.
I'm power-conscious, So I usually buy laptops with low-TDP (15W) CPUs but capable of running at least 32GB Memory for my aforementioned browser requirements. I run tasks requiring more compute power on cloud.
Lately I've limited by browsers to 3(Main/Development/VM), invoke 1 more when necessary. I was able to reduce the browsers by Using desktop Mail client with multiple accounts, adding multiple accounts to Twitter web, Automated posting to social media using Ayrshare (Stopped operating social media accounts which doesn't support it).

Video handling definitely got better in last 6 months. > What is the appeal of Vivaldi browser It's browser made for power users. Bunch of features built in with a lot of flexibility. Few of my favorites: Vertical Tabs, "Stack tabs by host" (this extension practically), Hibernating background tabs.
Two of your 3 favorites are not unique to Vivaldi, is there any other feature worth the switch besides "Stack tabs by host"?
It's made for power users as I said, for example you can change the right click menu on the tab bar and have only things you care about in there instead of 1000 options. I bet there are other "unique" features, but that's not the point.
If you are happy with chrome keep using it.

Actually, it has, but it's seems to lack UI-Integration for whatever reason. I use this bookmarklet for some years not to create a Group-Tab:
javascript:(function(){window.open("ext+treestyletab:group?title=NewGroup&temporary=false")})();
To rename it, just click the title inside the group-tab.
