Multiple browser-window-tab configurations?
-
Currently in Chrome I have some 40+ tabs open. It's a bit annoying because most of the time I'm interested in only a subset of them based on what I'm working on. What I want to know is, is there some easy way I can set up the browser (any browser, I don't care) to just open up the tabs I want, or even better, just save the configuration of tabs in the browser window for each window? For example, if I have a window with 40+ tabs, move a tab to a new window and add a few more, if I close the first window first and then the second later, Chrome only remembers the tabs for the last window closed. This is really annoying. I don't want to bookmark each tab and put them into separate categories, I want the browser to ask me "what collection of tabs do you want me to open?" and simply create collections automatically by how they're organized in different browser windows. Is that asking too much? Marc

Computational Types in C# and F#I don't know if it helps Marc but in FF you can categorize bookmarks and when selecting a category one of the options is to open all bookmarks in that category at once in tabs.

I sometimes have 20-30 open.

I know I can categorize them, but that's numerous clicks and so forth, and really, I just want the browser god to ask me, which window with its set of tabs do you want to open. Show me the list of windows that I had open and the tabs in those windows, and I'll be happy! Maybe the "recently closed" selection in Chrome sort of does that already, it just isn't the easiest way to go about this, IMO. Marc

Hmm, I remember a discussion about that on the Lounge a long time ago and thought, hey, that's a good idea. Thanks for reminding me! Marc

Yes. If a tab is important to you, bookmark it; if not, close it. No one needs 40 tabs open at the same time.

Yeah I figured you would and it is a pain to have to go through the process of bookmarking each one. To bad you can't bulk select a bunch of tabs and bookmark them that way it would still require some extra work but it would help? [edit] I was intrigued by your problem, as I have wished in the past for a way to bulk save tabs so I could come back later to research and found in FF that if you right click on a tab one of the options is to "Bookmark All Tabs...". It will then ask you for a destination and you can go back later as I mentioned above and open all tabs. Hope this eases the pain a little. [/edit]

Lots of stuff. I don't do bookmarking. Tabs are my bookmarks. Maybe I should be better organized. :rolleyes: Marc

As I wrote Max above, tabs are my bookmarks, but perhaps you are right. Still, it's such a pain to set up bookmarks, categories, etc, which are displayed in stupid folder lists when what I want is something more like Mind Manager where I can draw associations between pages, make notes on the bookmarks, and the bookmark manager is Chrome is computer specific so my bookmarks on one computer don't automatically appear on the other. Yes, there probably are obvious solutions to these problems, but yet again, why can't this just be done right, so that I don't have to think about! Marc

that's what i do. and i posted that document on blogger.com so i can get to it any time i want. even when, like today for example, my ISP has suspended my account because their CPU usage limits are too low.

FF got that feature already, but not yet available from user menu After it crush it restores all windows with all its tabs...perfectly! The only question is how to force FF to CrushOnDemand? ;)
40+ Tab's should do!

Well I don't know if it's quite what you want, but Firefox has tab groups, there's a button next to the minimize/maximize/close buttons that opens up the menu for that. Then instead of switching/closing windows you would just switch tab groups.

Heh, that got me to think, maybe someone has created a plugin for Chrome, and lo-and-behold, there are several to choose from! Thanks for planting the seed of the thought! Marc

Well, maybe it needs a bit to sync, but I noticed that on my laptop (I actually tested this before I wrote the post) the bookmark manager on my laptop displays a completely different folder structure and contents than on my desktop. Marc
