## Description

Session Sync is a powerful Chrome extension designed to save and manage your browsing sessions by utilizing bookmarks. Unlike traditional session managers, it stores sessions as bookmarks, allowing seamless access, editing, and restoration across multiple devices using bookmark synchronization services like Firefox Sync or EverSync.

Key features include an intuitive user interface with multiple working modes (Panel, Tab View, Window View), advanced bookmark and session management, session filtering and sorting, lazy-loading session restore, customizable keyboard shortcuts, and advanced drag-and-drop UI. Session Sync also manages permissions efficiently, ensuring all your session data remains local or synced via your Firefox account. It is an excellent tool for users looking for versatile session and bookmark management that integrates directly with the browser's bookmark system rather than proprietary formats.

## Review summary

Users praise Session Sync as a simple, reliable session manager that syncs well and excels for research and large tab collections. Common complaints are missing features: no global title search, no multi‑selection of tabs, lack of automatic session saving, and no support for Firefox containers which can break restores.

### Pros

- Reliable and long‑lived — many users report it has worked for years and is their go‑to session tool.
- Simple and easy to use — intuitive UI and fast workflow for saving and restoring groups of tabs.
- Syncs across devices via Firefox/Mozilla Sync and lets you create collections of links for research.
- Better session management than built‑in bookmarks/tabs — useful for research and large tab collections.

### Cons

- No global search by tab title (search is limited or awkward; Enter doesn’t always activate results).
- No multi‑selection support (cannot shift‑select ranges of tabs or select many at once).
- Does not auto‑save sessions by default (users expect automatic session saving).
- Lacks Firefox container support — restored tabs can lose their container assignment and misbehave.
