Slashdot<\/a> is running a discussion thread on what are the best browser extensions<\/a> these days. \u00a0The comments cover a variety of browsers and all kinds of extensions. \u00a0The most popular are, of course, well know. \u00a0But there are a few gems here and there.<\/p>\n

For me personally, I’ve picked the Tab Snooze extension<\/a>. \u00a0I’ve tried quite a few tab management solutions, and neither one of them fits my needs even though most tried (I want to run a single browser window, with dozens or hundreds of tabs open, but I want them to be organized into groups and hidden until later, when I need them). \u00a0 Tab Snooze approaches the problem from a slightly different angle. It sets the reminder for when to reopen the tab, and once that’s done, it closes the tab. \u00a0You can find all snoozed tabs and open them before the due date, of course.<\/p>\n

This works surprisingly well for me. \u00a0If only I could control the opening of the tabs with something like “17 tabs were woken up and are about to be open. Continue?”. \u00a0Currently, I get the notification and the tabs are open automatically, which is often not at the best time. \u00a0Waking up a lot of tabs can slow the system down a bit and get in the way of things on which I’m working at the time.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n
