I do work in physics research so I open on average 20-30 arxiv and research papers per any session. This is combined with the usual searches for SO and docs (looking at you CUDA docs) which would be a lot of tabs for any gives session. I used Firefox developer edition (it was better performance that vanilla Firefox for my m1 mac and this is just a feeling not backed up with any data) and now is using zen browser. It…

A simple 1L machine with portainer on it and connected by wireguard is what I run my self-hosted stuff at home. Five minutes later I have my own linkding. Thanks for the tip.

When importing existing Firefox bookmarks make sure to export those into the html file as linkding won't process the json backup file that Firefox can produce.

It won't do anything with the folders though. That's a pitty. I love putting my bookmarks into folders.

It didn’t make a lot of sense and we removed it, but we might try again in the future. Well, I'm sorry, but in this landscape (browsers everywhere), you need to demonstrate execution and value to me first. Same reason I won't create an account to test drive the Arc Br…

They're saying lots of people try the product and they all conclude it's not worth paying for. Not exactly something that makes me reach for the credit card.

I am not sure if this still works but this python script [1] helped me when I moved bookmarks from Firefox to linkding long time ago. It converted folders to tags. Linkding doesn't have folders concept and rely on tabs.

You can achieve the exact same thing in Firefox using the Sidebery extension: https://github.com/mbnuqw/sidebery

Or this extension called Simple Tab Groups - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/simple-tab-gr...

Does it also nests tabs? This one looks just like tab groups, like those in Safari. For me it is enough but above plugin and the topics are about nested tab groups.

Interesting that they chose Electron. Cross platform is certainly enticing, but at this point I'd say that browsers are relatively heavyweight pieces of software that require careful optimisation to do well, even assuming you outsource the engine.

A browser inside a browser inside a browser...

Nested tabs with a twist.

Funny how these sort of solutions come up. I never understood the tab problem, I don't even use extensions to manage tabs, group tabs, or whatever. I like to keep my work focused, so apart from the 4-5 tabs I keep permanently open due to convenience (email, tasks, calendar, etc), I rarely have more than 3-4 others of stuff I'm working/researching. When its done, I close them. If I need them, I either bookmark or save…

Today I used splunk. It can take a while for things to load and more than 1 query is useful so tabs = literal caches. But also tabs = wetware caches, to help remember context. A tab group saves which is useful for projects that spans > 1 day.
