☀ Complete Overview of all your open and saved tabs and windows, along with custom added notes and marks.

☀ Flexible and fully editable by Drag and Drop Tree - everything can be easily organized in logical hierarchies and delimited groups; unlike in other similar tools every node can be a parent for any other node, all items can be freely reordered to specify priority or importance. And all of this can be done not only with somewhere saved links - but with open tabs and windows!

☀ Close and save - just in one click you can preserve “in place” any tab or window in their original context and surrounding in the Tree. Saved windows and tabs can be freely mixed with those that are open. And as Tabs Outliner window is often active all the time, because it’s enormously useful to observe all currently active items, things saved in it does not fall out of the focus, as this often happen with other tools that save everything in some separate lists, so the actual action to close-save something to free resources become mentally much ease and really accomplished.

☀ Innovative Tabs Outlining And Organizing Features – you will be able annotate windows and tabs, add comments to them, summary of main ideas, to-do items. Text notes can be easily added in the Tree directly from web pages, just by Drag and Drop.

☀ Tree Style Tab feature - those who remember famous Firefox plugin with the same name immediately recognize inspired by it very useful way to relate tabs to one another.

Does not open tabs now
by Oliver Lewis, 2024-11-16

BROKEN. It used to work, but now it just opens an empty window without any saved sessions at all. There is NOTHING in the window except for the background and small panel at the bottom. Now it is completely useless.

Still working for me with no problem. NOTE: I am using Brave which is a Chrome offshoot that supports all the same plugins but doesn't track you like Chrome does. You can import all bookmarks and settings from Chrome and it works just as well. This plugin still works great (on the free version) in Brave as it has for me the last 10 years.
