I see manually managed groups in Sidebery but nothing automatic... it doesn't look like you can move more than one tab into a group at a time, or even move a single tab into a specific group without manually dragging through a huge scrolling list to find it.
Look into the Panels feature, it has auto-move by URL regex.

> suspend Right, but the article says nothing about suspending and seems to strongly suggest that tabs take "no ram at all" by default, which is just plain false, unless I'm misunderstanding something. I don't even see a way to suspend tabs without a separate extension.
well i have 4600 tabs, 13 windows, 18 tab groups and 130 firefox processes. htop shows me that while each browser process has about 3GB of virtual memory, all of them barely register any real memory use. so as far as i can tell, tabs do not use any memory.

Ok but those tabs would have to be suspended for them to not use "any" memory.

That's because of the Javascript running on them. If I have a dozen youtube tabs that are not suspended my FF becomes very janky and if I look in FF task manager, sure enough, they're consuming lots of CPU. I suspend them and FF becomes snappier again.

I'm not seeing anything like what you describe... can you tell me exactly where that feature is located?
