Tab Session Manager
Saves and restores browser windows and tab sessions, with automatic backups and optional synchronization.
Meet Tab Session Manager
Tab Session Manager records groups of browser windows and tabs so they can be restored after a restart or revisited for a recurring task. It is suitable for temporary research collections and project sessions that would otherwise become a large pile of open tabs.
The extension is available for Chrome, Firefox and Edge and can be used locally. Optional cloud synchronization is a separate convenience rather than a full hosted bookmark website, and users should maintain exported backups for sessions they consider important.
