Does it also work with browsers on Android ? (I always experience difficulties to backup my tabs...)

#12I am using Session Buddy, but this feels more smooth and is opensource. Great works!

#13where does data get synced to?
It doesn't get synced anywhere - "cross-browser" in this case means that the extension works in multiple different browsers, but you still have to manually export/import sessions between them.

#14I’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 da…
Plain entropy. I use an extension for killing duplicate tabs, helps a lot.

#16Earlier quoted context omitted.
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. 1: https://github.com/navorite/sessionic/blob/main/src/lib/util... 2: https://www.npmjs.com/package/idb
I think the question is regarding how it syncs across browsers (FF & chrome). I don't understand how this is possible for an extension, without some remote storage
Maybe something like a distributed DB where each different browser is a DB to sync with the other Browsers/Db’s ? I know this can be achievable with Tauri (a standalone app) and gunjs in a relatively straightforward way

If anything we should applaud how flexible modern software can to accommodate a user.
I still remember a time before tabbed browsing existed.

#19Safari 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…
Literally the same exists in Chrome, under the same feature names even (not sure who copied whom).
Firefox has environment tabs, which are like profiles, but on a per-tab basis. Personally I'd like to have a combo of this and tab groups.

#20Does it, by any chance, have any kind of an api a bash script could use? For work flows like: "open browser, then open saved session X"?
