Tab Stash por Josh Berry

por harl windwolf , há 5 anos I was hoping for this to work and act (even) more like an alternative to tab groups / panorama view, except with bookmarks instead of actual tabs (mainly to avoid having to care about memory and cpu usage). Kind of like OneTab, but with a more intuitive interface.
That's not quite where Tab Stash is yet (from my position). It needs more options to customize the stashes/directories or how they're represented on the list/tab. And more transparency/feedback as to where the most recently stashed tabs go and how they can be handled from there (safely). Also, more keyboard shortcuts.
It doesn't work too well with Tree Style Tab (yet), which doesn't reuse the native tabs, so it's only affected by Tab Stash to a certain degree (including unloaded/hidden ones that reappear on TST). As it is now, Tab Stash can't be a replacement for TST for me, because I don't like the native tabs anyway and Tab Stash doesn't act as a full-fledged replacement for them (unlike TST).
Also, in combination with that, I find it hard to get accustomed to the thought and remind me that I have to look at Tab Stash's tab to see my *other* tabs instead of having them all in one place all the time. (Meaning, it would be nice to have a full-fledged combined display of active and stashed tabs without having to fall back to the native tabs, assuming that separate add-ons like Tab Stash and TST aren't going to be fully compatible.)
Compared to mass operations on actual bookmarks (even hundreds of them), Tab Stash feels kind of "bumpy" handling around 150 (mostly unloaded) tabs.

publicado a há 5 anosHi, thank you for the thoughtful review!
You're right that Tab Stash doesn't--and isn't intended to--act as a replacement for the native tab bar. However, I've heard from other folks who are also interested in this, and it's something I'm looking at for future releases. If you have any more specific ideas on what this could look like, I'd love to hear more and discuss further; please feel free to add your thoughts on GitHub: https://github.com/josh-berry/tab-stash/issues
I'd also love to hear more about what feels "bumpy" (again, feel free to open a GitHub issue). One thing I can say is that the bookmark APIs which Firefox provides to extensions like Tab Stash are significantly slower than the native browser UI. But I can't be sure if that's the problem you're hitting without knowing what specifically you're seeing.
But again, thanks for taking the time to write up your experience with Tab Stash, and I'll certainly keep your thoughts in mind for future releases!

- Avaliado em 5 de 5por Leviii , há 15 diasExtremely good and powerful. I am using it as complimentary add-on for in-built bookmarks system and it has already considered many possible use cases like de-duplication, close stashed/saved tabs, highlight opened tabs, and it even updates order of bookmarks if the actual tabs are re-arranged before saving! I also recommend setting this extension page as homepage so all links are neatly organized and accessible. This wouldn't be possible without this add-on, anyone used to papaly will know exactly how useful this is. Also you can import links and file structure from copied list of bookmarks.

publicado a há um mêsTab Stash doesn't save blank tabs by design, though you can explicitly save them using drag-and-drop, selection, etc in the UI. The reason being, most of the time, these tabs are just clutter.
And yeah, I hear you on operations involving lots of tabs being slow—unfortunately, most of this is due to Firefox. I do try to keep Tab Stash's performance as high as it can be, but there's only so much I can do if Firefox itself is slow.
Also hear you on the language support. It's a really big effort to even get Tab Stash ready for translation into other languages, and it's been on the list for a while now. I do hope to get to it one day (and patches from others are always welcome).
Thanks for the feedback!- Avaliado em 4 de 5por Nana , há 2 mesesGreat app and EXACTLY what I needed as other tab management apps couldn't deliver in terms of management, separation and stability. That being said, I would really love it if there was another way to rescan for titles and headers AFTER importing tabs from URLs. Some of them seem to have failed as I was moving them and the only option to retry the scan is just to retrieve the icons (which it already has so the button does nothing.) Unfortunately, I don't have a github account to reach out with this complaint.

publicado a há um mêsThanks for the review! A quick hack for doing this is to open the tab that failed during the import, then click the yellow "Edit" button next to the stashed tab that appears when hovering over it, and clear out whatever title Tab Stash had given it before. Tab Stash will then pick up the title from the open tab.
Hope this helps! - Avaliado em 5 de 5por jI , há 2 meses
- Avaliado em 5 de 5por ath0rus , há 2 mesesThe name of this extensions is not wrong, It stash's tabs. Out of all the extensions I tried (and I tried alot) this does it the best. Yes the setup is a wee bit confusing but once that was sorted I managed to get it working exactly how I wanted it too. This should be a base firefox feature, Idk why it is not already (needs to be part of firefox view).
The only one thing I would like to see (other then it being part of firefox view) is the ability to select multiple tabs in a stash and export them to a file (for sharing else where)
Edit: the dev responded and I am embarrased I missed the setting to import and export, It literally is the exact addon I was looking for. Now my firefox actualy loads fast.Resposta do programador
publicado a há 2 mesesI'm happy to hear it's working well for you! There is indeed an export feature, it's hiding in the "..." menu for each folder (or the main menu next to the search box). You can choose from several formats and copy/paste into the location of your choice.
Sorry to hear the setup was a bit confusing, if you'd like to chat more about it, feel free to open an issue on GitHub. And thanks for the review! - Avaliado em 5 de 5por PO_IS_ON , há 3 meses

- Avaliado em 1 de 5por Utilizador do Firefox 19291583 , há 4 mesesIt is processing tabs, one by one. So when stashing tabs it takes ages.
Firefox allocated 8GB of RAM and crashed (I have few thousands tabs opened).
It is storing "stashes" in a bookmarks which is good.
When tabs are finally stashed, then it is using about 500MB of RAM just to show a list of "stashes".Resposta do programador
publicado a há 3 mesesThanks for the feedback—it is true that Tab Stash currently doesn't handle thousands of OPEN tabs (in the same window) very well. However, it is known to handle large sets (tens of thousands) of STASHED tabs quite well, with minimal memory usage, and I've put quite a lot of work into making sure it stays that way.
The 500MB of RAM you're referencing is likely because you have thousands of tabs loaded in the UI from when you first stashed your open tabs—this will normally be much smaller because UI elements are created only when they need to be shown.
As for the one-by-one processing of tabs, that's unfortunately a limitation in Firefox's bookmarks API. Having lots of parallel bookmark operations running can mess up Firefox Sync and cause other problems in the bookmarks database. - Avaliado em 5 de 5por Utilizador do Firefox 13978806 , há 4 meses

Resposta do programador
publicado a há 4 mesesThanks for the kind words! I have good news, which is that there is already built-in export functionality. You can find it in the main menu or in the menu for any folder.
You can also use any built-in Firefox features or other bookmarking add-ons to work with the bookmarks in your stash, and Tab Stash will keep itself up to date! So feel free to use whatever bookmark backup tool works best for you. - Avaliado em 5 de 5por AEZ314 , há 5 mesesI'm in love with this extension! Would love to see it on Chrome based browsers too (please port it, I desperately need it lol)
Resposta do programador
publicado a há 5 mesesThanks, I'm really happy you like it! A Chrome port is unfortunately very unlikely, because Tab Stash uses a lot of Firefox-specific things. Also, I am not a Chrome user, so wouldn't be able to provide good support for it. But it may happen one day, I won't say "never". :) - Avaliado em 5 de 5por frostbyte , há 5 meses
- Avaliado em 2 de 5por MyFirefox , há 5 mesesBe ye forewarned... do not jump right into this or any other open tab manager if you have a lot of currently opened tabs that you expect the extension to help you sort out.
My fault really, but intending to just look around, I hovered & then clicked to stash on a filtered selection. Not seeing a way to pause, cancel or undo; I could only let it run. How bad could it be?
It not only "stashed" the ~500 tabs from the filtered selection, but threw the other 3200 tabs in with. Then to my horror found that it put every single one of the 3700 tabs into "hidden tabs".
I only learned of this after a frantic race to shut down every other process & service on the machine to free up as much of the 32GB as possible, praying that Fx wouldn't crash.
It finally ended, and after wasting a bunch of time trying to find a solution, have now resolved to spending more time cleaning up the resulting mess than it would have taken without the help of the extension.
Badly needs an Undo. Badly needs Select/Unselect All on filtered lists. There's not even the ability to Tap-Space to keep selecting in a list, it's a slog of one-click-at-a-time. Badly needs a setting to only affect what is selected and don't mess with anything else.Resposta do programador
publicado a há 5 mesesSo if I'm reading this right, it sounds like you were expecting "Stash all tabs" to stash only the tabs matching the search. That's a fair point; I've made a note to look into this further.
I'm afraid I don't really understand the rest of your post, though, because:
- When Tab Stash hides/stashes tabs, it's not going to use any more resources than before (i.e. your memory usage will stay the same or decrease), so I don't really understand why the rush to free up memory?
- There IS a single-click "undo" for an accidental "stash all tabs", which is to simply unstash the group that was created.
- You can select multiple tabs at once by shift+clicking, just like you would in Windows Explorer or Finder. There's no need to select each tab individually. (And yes, this respects filtering, so you can select an entire list of filtered tabs with one click and one shift+click.)
Anyway, I hope this helps, and if you'd like any more help, feel free to open an issue on GitHub! - Avaliado em 5 de 5por STAR CRIMSON , há 6 meses

Resposta do programador
publicado a há 5 mesesAfraid I'm not quite sure what you mean here; if you're talking about restoring tabs automatically after a browser restart, that's built-in to Firefox, and not something Tab Stash does. Otherwise, feel free to open an issue on GitHub and I'd be happy to chat with you further to figure out what's going on! - Avaliado em 5 de 5por Aoshi Shinomori , há 6 mesesI've been a Firefox user since ver. 2 and this is my very first extension review. It's an essential complement to get your bazillion tabs back after an unexpected error or closing the wrong window. Simple and easy to use, thanks Josh!

publicado a há 6 mesesGlad you like it! Unfortunately a Chrome port isn't likely any time soon because there are some unique Firefox capabilities that Tab Stash uses which just aren't available in Chrome. But I appreciate the interest!
