Hi, I came across your addin. I wonder if you can if you can improve it. I think it would be better if it was possible to apply a label to set of backed up tabs, so it possible to swap between labels, I write and tend to have a lot of open tabs, and then I move to a new subject, the tabs are no longer needed. But I would like to go to back to those tabs when I go back to that subject. If there was a label mechanism available, I could click on the label and all the tabs would open for that subject. Next subject, next label, with the previous tab state saved.

Thanks for the feedback!

I can look into optionally labelling a set of tabs.

Have you tried using windows for this type of organization? For example, all tabs of subject 1 were in window 1, tabs of subject 2 in window 2, etc. After clicking save, these tabs will be saved according to their window. That way you can choose to restore just that window in the future. One thing to be careful about with this approach is that if you only restore one window's worth of tabs and then click Save, the other tabs will be overwritten.

Hi Adit, Thanks for getting back to me. I thought it would take some time. My ideal solution be to have a huge bundle of browser windows open, I hit save and it save the urls to offline cache with a date and I could give it a name. I go back in, I look for the name in dropdown and find “research into block ledgers” with the date, open it and 30 windows open. A basic version would open all the urls. A full version would open with the windows at point in time, for each url and the proper page content, half way down a the page, for example. I’m surprised nobody has done it. It is probably available in professional publishing, where the browser is instrumented to create a specific environment, similar to what you get using code templates for IDE’s.

What do you mean by using windows? Bob
