OneTab, a free Chrome add-in, converts a set of browser tabs into a page of links, then restores the tabs when required. It can instantly free up gigabytes of memory when you need it for something else.
As a chronic die hard multiple tabs opener, Onetab litteraly made my browser usage livable.
It saved me several times, having hundreds and hundreds of tabs open and can't be simply closed.
I use it daily.
@preben_frenning I agree that "The Great Suspender" is a great help for my tab hoarding. I've always been reluctant to try "OneTab" because I feel like I'd just forget about the tabs that get converted to a list. Part of my issue is that I use tabs as like an in-your-face todo list. Collapsing into a list seems like it will make them a forgettable list. Am I missing something?
I wish that I could create groups of tabs. If I have a group of tabs that are all related to one subject, I want to group them together within the onetab list.
Pros:
Simple to use and effective
Cons:
None at this time

Then I suggest you to give a try to Raindrop, Papaly, Toby or Workona.
@lbragile Hey! Thank you so much <3 Congratulations on your build! I started using Asana, and now when I have a bunch of tabs for myself I just keep them organized in tasks.
@lethargarian right! Now my browser looks so organized! Little do people know there is a long ole list hidden in there! hahaha

Late at night, in a world before OneTab. Wife walks in on me "shutting down" the computer.
"What are you doing? " she asks.
" I'm closing tabs... so i can open my computer tomorrow. "
"..."
How is this different from closing a set of tabs (a window) in chrome and then using "recently closed" to restore them all with one click (or restore some selectively) ? Chrome even restores things like scroll position.

It's amazing. 99% of the time I never go back to the tabs I save, but that's the beauty of it. I think most of the people who suffer form having tens of tabs open suffer from the version of FOMO. OneTab is a perfect solution for that - you tell yourself you won't miss out or lose the website you want to read "later", because it's safely saved, but you actually don't have to go back to it and waste time on it, while your brain is perfectly happy and calm knowing, that if you need to go back to it, you can.
Pros:
Does it says it will do. Fast and efficient.
Cons:
You an't create custom folders as far as I can tell, only rename the groups already created by OneTab.

There are tools with more sophisticated functionality but I love OneTab's simplicity and efficiency. I use it daily. Saves space and sanity.
Pros:It's simple, and it works
Cons:If your CPU is running slow it's possible that OneTab will open multiple lists of the same tabs
