Sessionic: A cross-browser extension to save, manage, restore tabs and sessions

where does data get synced to?

Looks like the extension uses idb which is a wrapper around IndexedDB.

Did not check if there is any sync to the outside world though.

I’ll never understand people who hoard tabs. Every time I’m done with something, I can close all the tabs in a few seconds. A single search can generate 15 tabs, and then after the solution is found I close them all. Anything I can’t handle now is pinned or added to Read Later, depending on the urgency.

Same goes with the files on my desktop (which is also the download folder). Select all, delete. Multiple times a day.

Safari is doing this great with profiles and tab groups. The profiles help you have multiple workspaces where different sessions are start so you don’t have to sign out and sign in for different accounts all the time. And every profile has a tab group which is a collection of tabs. All that synced across all of your iDevices.

However tab groups have a bug that hasn’t been fixed since almost 2 years now: https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/436025/safari-keep...

The tabs pile up, not because I hoard them, but because the task has not been finished yet. I start researching a thing, or troubleshoot a problem, and I dig for some time.

This digging generally routes me to places of internet not found or shown by my search engine of choice, hence if I close that set of tabs, I'll lose another half day to find them.

However, I can't touch that set of tabs, because a small or another big, more urgent thing gets in the way. I move that tab set to another window and start over. When the task at hand completed, these tabs/windows are closed.

The ones that piled over? Save that Windows's session, label it "X Research", and go on.

What that research or task ends, some tasks got bookmarked, others got closed, and the saved session is deleted.

Internet is much deeper when compared to 00s, and the most valuable information is not on the first page of Google/Kagi/whatever most of the time. Hence the apparent hoarding.
