Thousands of tabs. All mixed together, about various subjects, with no way to sort them because all the add-ons for that look really unreliable (from the reviews), and could also easily be spyware.
Anyway, those tabs are all suspended at startup (and I have an add-on to suspend them automatically while I use the browser), so it's no excuse. Last time I checked, it was using about 700 MB of RAM while running (the biggest process one window), but at startup, it sometimes uses so much that my system can't handle it.
My plan is to move the entire session to external software (probably going to use a web server for that), but it will probably have no browser integration at all, unless I gather the energy to figure out how to write a browser extension, which looks like a huge pain and not worth it.
Temporarily, I've been thinking about moving everything to just org files (or one big org file, probably that), because Emacs' org-mode supports links. I already wrote functions that can do the things I need, like taking a list of URLs from Firefox (tabs are separated by pipes) and turn them all into lists, and also one that can take URLs and give me the page's title.
So, I can just use that to generate an org document with [[url][title]] and it will work. That's not ideal, though, the best thing would be to make a local web page that I can use to add and remove stuff, though I will have to copy and paste unless I make the extension.
All of this would be trivial if these browsers were actually extensible, but they're not, they're just a really bad imitation of that.
