Thegreatsuspender: Suggestion: Allow named windows / e.g. Named Tab Groups

[brycenesbitt]

I keep tabs in groups:

• Financial
• Covid-19
• Things To read
• Work Project One
• Share With Family At Dinner Tabs

Yet when I go in Chrome to find the right tab group. I get the title of the most recently opened tab. I can't name the group.

Could Great Suspender solve this problem?

@brycenesbitt have you tried Tabli? IMO, your problem seems out of scope for The Great Suspender but exact fit for Tabli.

I've found a hack:
I open and pin an empty tab, creating a search with the group name (e.g. "Read later" or "Foo Project").

Perhaps group tabs will work also:

Over in a comment in issue #1150, Dean himself (the original author of this extension) says he uses Session Buddy to manage tab grouping.

I just downloaded it and used it to organize nearly 500 tabs across nearly 100 windows that had been accumulating for at least 5 months into 21 different logical sessions. The sessions can be saved so you don't have to keep them open, like I had been doing for months. This will pair well with TGS. I'll use Session Buddy as a better way to organize bookmarks (which still maintains different window grouping and naming), and continue to use TGS to control memory management of the windows I do have open currently.

If you weren't already aware of Session Buddy, hopefully you'll find it helpful.

For this kind of use case, you might also like TabFern or even Tabs Outliner.

However all the tools mentioned in this thread merely provide "sessions" of bookmarks, and never handle actual browser sessions of, well, tabs. You just can't with contemporary browsers.
