Short Version:
After trying out all of the major browsers available for macOS, I settled on Microsoft Edge. Generally speaking, I've been satisfied with it, but I've run into a user scenario for which Edge does not have an answer... I'm not sure any browser does. Hense this question. My workflow involves having 5 named windows containing tab/groups. Edge is set to reopen everything at restart. Is there a browser or extension that would automatically save each window with its current tabs/groups when I close it, so Edge doesn't have to have all five windows open when I need to work in just one?
Longer Version:
My work flow demands I generally operate with 5 named windows open. In my Microsoft Edge each window has 3-7 tab groups with a total of about 70-100 tabs open across the 5 windows at any given time. I'm constantly updating the sites in these groups/tabs, and I need to be able to pick up where I left off when relaunch Edge. It is set to do this, so each time I open Edge it opens with 5 windows and cir. 100 tabs. But at times I only need to work in one window, but in order to keep it and the other four current, I have to keep all 5 windows and all 100 tabs open. I find this an obnoxious waste of resources.
I would like to be able to open the one window in which I need to work, have all my groups/tabs restored from the last session, and pick up where I left off. If I need to open a second, third, etc. window, I want it to load all the groups/tabs it had open the last time it was used. Currently I must have all 5 windows and all 100 tabs open all the time, because there is no way to "save" a window.
Paranoid that I might accidentally close a window and lose all of its groups and tabs, I regularly save each tab as a collection, but this does not preserve the window setup or the current updated state of each tab. So, the million-dollar question, is there a macOS compatible browser or extension that supports tabs groups and will save a window with all of its groups and tabs in their current state... either automatically or manually?
Thanks!
