From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Thousands of users wanted it, so Firefox delivered it. Tab Groups are now live to help you declutter and stay organized while browsing.

I'll never understand you people that need like 50 tabs open at once.

I have a few use cases:

Many youtube videos that are like 30+ minutes long saved for later
Documentation on some stuff that I need to go back and forth
Movies or games that I found, but don't want to write down and forget
Going down rabbit holes on wikipedia and saving it for another day
Everything else that catches my attention and deserves a honorable spot in the tab bar

Basically, I use my browser as a notebook. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

I will do my good deed of the month. You seem like a prime candidate for Tab Stash. Does the same but better than Tab Groups. Check it out. You might like it.

Let me know, love it or hate it. Cheers.

Do you know if there's a similar extension that allows you to export/import the tabs in some text format rather than saving to bookmarks? I'm currently using Tab Season Manager, but it takes way too many steps to accomplish this.

I did not know that, thanks. The reason I use Tab Stash is because I can use my Nextcloud instance to move the tabs/bookmarks automatically. As for privacy reasons I do not use FF sync.

Moving a file seems like more work and more moving parts as I use multiple machines and different OS'es on the same machines.
