Save tabs on iPhone/iPad

[neomanic]

Also need to declare tab bankruptcy on my phone Safari... so am thinking about the best way to do it.

A quick search suggests the best option, courtesy of @joshdance with this StackExchange answer:

1. Use the hidden press-and-hold menu on the bookmark icon > Add Bookmarks for 499 Tabs and save to a folder.
2. Then in Bookmarks view, press-and-hold on the just-saved folder > Copy Contents, then save that text into a note.
3. Delete the saved bookmarks and close all tabs.

The problem with step 2 is that the links are now in a note and not a file, but worse is that it only saves the URLs and not the titles.

So I propose to replace it with:

• Sync via iCloud bookmarks, which I already am
• Activate Safari > File > Export Bookmarks... manually to start, then add it as an automated step before I...
• Parse the exported bookmarks HTML file (likely via an external Python script... or perhaps this is the opportunity to look at JXA), then export bookmark title and URLs in the same format as the macOS browser scripts.

Comments or alternative suggestions welcome.
