Can any browser out there, Vivaldi or otherwise, take the tabs of a window and save the corresponding list of URLs so I can reopen that window of tabs at a later date?
That’s one essential feature I want from a browser, I’ve grown to desire more over the years, but for some strange reason, no browser I’ve seen out there allows you to treat sets of URLs as such.
Thanks for the extensions but my idea is more around browsers treating our activity more as multiple projects that we’re working on. Like associated files, they’re associated URLs. Extensions are fool, but you’d think the browser wars would spur greater innovation in this area.
I feel that browser wars have finished and the winners are Chrome and mobile Safari. Other browsers now fight for numbers so advanced features are not really a priority.
My idea is inspired by the way IDEs keep track of a system of associated files. If browsers could manage a project file that stores tab and window data that can be saved and restored, without using any built in bookmark feature so that the project file can be saved and stored in git, then I’d be deliriously happy about this.
Safari can save all of a window's tabs to a bookmark folder, and it supports opening a whole folder as a new window.
There's no "sync", though; if you save the tabs to a folder, then open the folder as tabs, there's no link to update the folder again. Saving the new window as tabs will create another folder.
Not exactly what you asked for, but for what it's worth Firefox will happily accept and open a list of URLs that you drag and drop from your text file into the browser. I just tried it.
What’s your OS? You can do that on macOS via AppleScript. Works on Safari, Chrome, and possibly Vivaldi. Won’t work on Firefox because they don’t support AppleScript.
Was hoping to save to a file, (call it a project file) that can then be subject to git versioning, retrieved later and suddenly it’s all back where it was, without using bookmarks.
