@cezaraugusto the old interface or the proposal? :-D

[cezaraugusto]

sorry I meant the proposal :)

[bradleyrichter]

Ha! The suggestion is what I had in my head. Not offering all 9 as was implemented. Ok, sorry. This was lacking in the spec department. : )

Hey @bradleyrichter can we triage this out past 1.0 ?

[bradleyrichter]

@alexwykoff I'd prefer not to...needs a dev time estimate first.

I don't think this would be terribly difficult to do and would provide a nicer experience. Good bang for the buck 😄

Firefox has implemented sessions with pretty good UI/UX:

I prefer this over Brave's approach.
The ability to set names, icons allows me to easily keep track of my sessions.
Also the fact that I can just pick a session upon hovering over the new tab button is awesome.
Maybe consider this implementation.

Definitely would like to be able to name the sessions. Helps to identify which one to use when splitting across several.
