Summary

Analyze keywords

Contextinator lets you divide your web browsing sessions into projects and manage all of their related information. A project is a collection of browser tabs opened in the same window, series of filters in existing applications (Gmail, Evernote, Dropbox, etc.), bookmarks, people and tasks.

With Contextinator, you can:

Access and manage all the information related to a project from a single page
Save and restore browser tabs for each project
Work on multiple projects simultaneously and easily switch between them
Get a big picture of your projects to better plan your work
Avoid distractions in your email inbox, only look at unread email for a project

What is a Project?

A project is what you make it. It can be a holiday you're planning to Puerto Rico, a course you're taking in School, your PhD thesis, a hobby project or web browsing you do for fun.

Each project may have several kinds of information associated with it:

Recent reviews

I really like the idea of this extension, but what I don't like is losing all of my projects. Why would Contextinator actively empty a bookmarks folder? Really too bad.

Love it ;)

Great start, but too alpha. Needs a few refinements: 1. Restore tabs in their correct state (eg. pinned) 2. Allow renaming of projects. 3. Don't force-restore the project homepage. 4. The 'contextinator' bar is annoying and doesn't really work. 5. Project windows don't maintain state. After a while contextinator doesn't recognize an open project anymore, rendering itself useless.

Safety

Risk impact

Contextinator is risky to use as it requires a number of sensitive permissions that can potentially harm your browser and steal your data. Exercise caution when installing this extension. Review carefully before installing. We recommend that you only install Contextinator if you trust the publisher.
