@thisismissem nice!

When I switched to Firefox, I tried to leave the door open to returning to Chrome by extracting bookmarks and passwords out into separate cross-browser self-host-friendly tools ( xbrowsersync.org/ and bitwarden.com/ )

Thanks for letting me know about Tab Session Manager, that fills a void

The only other thing I'm looking for in this space is something to synchronise history

Then again, it's doubtful I'll be coming back to Chrome, so maybe all I'm doing at this point is maintaining some probably-YAGNI portability at the cost of some convenience and coherent-integration

www.xbrowsersync.orgxBrowserSync - Browser syncing as it should be: secure, anonymous and free!Free and open source tool for syncing your bookmarks and browser data between your various browsers and devices.

@jokeyrhyme Tab Session Manager is okay, but I really want is clusterwm.com for Firefox.

I've decided I'm just going to do a hard switch, which reduces the need for sync. Already didn't store passwords or similar in Chrome, and only Addresses & History needed migration.

@thisismissem It seems the import functionality is very… cranky. I imported a Chrome export into Firefox with it (155 tabs, 2 windows, I recently trimmed down a bit) and it seems the new entry just didn’t show up in the list until I restarted Firefox!

Until I /realized/ that I’d gone pretty far down a path of trying to figure out possible JSON diffs in Chrome/Firefox exports that might cause that, but I’m going to tiptoe away from that now.

Thanks for pointing to that extension either way. 😁

@jochie yeah, hence doing the export, then using a script to parse the export & manually importing. Took maybe 20-30 minutes to migrate via the Settings > Sessions > Import text field

@thisismissem @technicat Would it work to bookmark all open tabs and then export/import bookmarks?

@skry @technicat I *hate* bookmarks, bookmarks are where things go to die. At least my windows and tabs are mostly organised.
