Tabs Outliner Overview

You might be looking for the Tabs Outliner Extension for Chrome. I've been using it heavily for the "middle-state" of saved and not open, but not bookmarked; now I'm looking for a "meta Tabs Outliner"-esque program, but I can't quite articulate my needs... > What I want is to maintain a list of current references, preferably with some spatial context (tree-mode browsing is great for this) to what the relationship is between pages in my browser session. Tabs Outliner puts every tab as a leaf in a tree, and you can nest leaves and affect the visual ordering on the tab bar at the same time - you can also do this reordering while the tab isn't even open! This is good for a while, but for me when I have thousands, it's lacking in some retrieval sense: I guess I want to query for just these tabs that have connections, and cross-reference research annotations on these sets of connections.

Haven't tried, but I think I would find this intrusive and annoying--I'd be mentally keeping track of how many tabs I had open and then checking my bookmarks if I went over. Not for me, but maybe useful for some. I've tried session managers too, and those are okay for restoring state when things crash. THE GREATEST THING is Tabs Outliner (chrome only). This displays all your windows and tabs as a tree and lets you rearrange, easily close and restore windows, selectively restore, add notes to tabs, etc. A slight learning curve, but worth it for the power surfer.

Tabs Outliner[1] is great for this. It's lacking sync (an extra top layer in the tree for each device would make sense), but other than that, it is fantastic, and has really reduced my memory usage back to normal levels. It allows you to suspend entire windows, and quickly browse all tabs. Allows for unlimited* levels of named trees/notes/windows/tabs. It does however NOT save the state of the page, only the URL. When the Chrome Sidebar API[2] is implemented, I'm sure it will only get better, as the need for an extra window should no longer be necessary.
