Which extensions do you like the most for the usecase described in the title?
None. That’s what the bookmark functionality is for, no?
@MoreIronOre When I need to save a link for later, I send it to myself on Telegram 😅
Well, whatever works for you lmao.
I do this too. That’s what Saved Messages is for, no? :)
Sometimes it just doesn’t seem worth it to save something as a bookmark when you only want to save it temporarily.
I have a folder in which I throw these bookmarks, to keep the rest clean.
lol - no, these guys insist on the logic that you should keep tabs open… and after a few days they have hundreds and then complain that they have trouble managing them.
Bookmarks, and especially TAGS is the way to go (because you don’t want to rely on searching folders for old bookmarks).
Wallabag
Simple Tab Groups
I can create a tab group from some tabs and then archive that tab group for later
Oh, this might be perfect for my usecase!
- https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tab-stash/ (uses bookmarks under the hood, which is nice)
- https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/copy-tabs/ (less for later view and more for transfer to other apps )
- https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/micro-reading-list/ (for short term stuff, where you dont want to use bookmarks for, doesnt sync, but is seperated enough, to get back to, when necessary)
Definitely “in my pocket”. It’s basically the old version of pocket and has sync
You mean something like Pocket? I use Omnivore (open source).
I actually use Pocket as a transition space to move links between phone/PC. I also use it as a general bookmarking tool when appropiate.
I recommend you to try Omnivore. It has apps on phones as well extensions in the browsers. You can sync them between devices as well. Plus they are open sourced and are present on the Fediverse so it’s nice too :)
Not exactly, I mean more like the collections feature in Edge.
I use this addon I wrote some time ago to send them to a telegram group I have for this kind of thing
I’ve been using https://raindrop.io/ and it seems to work pretty well. Good for syncing between devices, reading later, etc.
I use Tab Session Manager + my own OwnCloud for backup/sync tabs and Tab stash for later reading
I just keep all of mine open and let the tabs fall in Tree-Style Tab the way they do. I’m up to 586 tabs in one window, and 77 in the other.
I have a ‘later’ folder on the bookmarks toolbar… you need extensions for that?
The main key, for me, is to always try to think of a couple of extra TAGS to add to help find bookmarks without having to browse folders.
I use xBrowserSync
@twmths Doesn’t it only sync bookmarks?
OneTab is such a simple solution on the face of it. But the more you look into it the more you see.
I just leave the tabs open and use the extension “Tab Session Manager” - works flawlessly.
Tab Session manager works really poorly for me. I’ve been using it for years and have had this issue for years where often when I’d try to restore a session, a bunch of tabs would be lost and replaced with blank new tab pages. It’s really frustrating when I trust the extension with session up to literally 100s of tabs.
I use Firefox Sync.
