Quite frankly all I ever wanted in life .... well in a life with tabs that is.

It probably is Chrome's fault, but when I want to extract, e.g., all wikipedia tabs, it barely extracts half of them (say 100 out of 250) and on the next take only 3, the next take another 3.... so it seems to ignore the so-called sleeping tabs, hence it loses its appeal, because it's faster to copy tabs manually, tab by tab, than to extract three to a new window and then use another extension to export the tabs. Any way to address the presumably sleeping-tabs issue?

Good extension, has been very useful. Have been using it for years on Chrome. I just started using it on Edge in the last couple month. I just noticed it won't grab all the tabs with the domain I typed. I wonder if it has something to do with the fact hat Edge puts the tab to sleep?
