this would live in the menu of the tab switcher.
to be clear, this is possible on Firefox based and Chromium based browsers on desktop from the title bar or by using the ctrl+shift+d shortcut. It bookmarks all tabs in a window to a folder with a dialog asking you where you want to make a folder and what you want to name it (but it's already filled out so you can just press enter if you'd like). Brave would be the first ever browser on Android to let you bookmark all of your tabs.
Tab groups would just be a folder within the folder and retain their name.
A big use case is private browsing.
Users will be able to close all of their tabs with confidence before bookmarking them.

there could be a screen, a dialog or a snackbar. I personally think a dialog would be suitable. It could be like the download prompt.

I've been thinking about switching to Brave for a while now and this would really show me that you guys care :)

fyi this is possible on desktop chromium

This is fairly common feedback from Android users. In addition to the ability to toss all opened-tabs into a bookmark folder, users also often request the ability to restore all bookmarks within a folder to opened tabs.

Hi there @jonathansampson. Just updated the issue description with everything that I think is relevant. Is there anything else that I should add?
I scrolled through the Chromium issue and it's amazing how Google juggles the issue around but never does anything about it! When a user even mentioned that there are duplicate issues they didn't do anything.

I've approached Bromite and Kiwi Browser about this and Bromite declined as it wasn't related to privacy and the latter sort of ignored it.

@srirambv anything you think might be useful for the issue?

[bsclifton]

@Poopooracoocoo definitely good details here, thanks! 😄

[Poopooracoocoo]

What are the chances of this being implemented any time soon? I'd like to switch to Brave. :)

erm. any updates on this and importing/exporting bookmarks? @bsclifton
edit: and why is it such a low priority issue? this is one of the few things keeping me from switching.

it's because they don't care. it's the same at vivaldi.

@bsclifton any updates on this? still not possible on brave for iOS either (but you can on safari)

[thatsofia]

@bbondy @bsclifton Reckon we can see this sometime soon?

[bsclifton]

@thatsofia this is labeled P5 unfortunately, so this isn't something that we're planning to work on. Pull requests welcome for community members that wanted to grab this. The priority may change - but for now, it's low ☹️

That's unfortunate. The code is there for desktop and as we know, Chromium shares a lot of code between desktop and Android, but there's no way to do it on Android :( this is so important to me coming from Safari and iPhones.
