Definitely "in my pocket". It's basically the old version of pocket and has sync

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tab-stash/ (uses bookmarks under the hood, which is nice)
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/copy-tabs/ (less for later view and more for transfer to other apps )
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/micro-reading-list/ (for short term stuff, where you dont want to use bookmarks for, doesnt sync, but is seperated enough, to get back to, when necessary)

Simple Tab Groups

I can create a tab group from some tabs and then archive that tab group for later

Oh, this might be perfect for my usecase!

I just leave the tabs open and use the extension "Tab Session Manager" - works flawlessly.

[–] TheTwelveYearOld@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Tab Session manager works really poorly for me. I’ve been using it for years and have had this issue for years where often when I’d try to restore a session, a bunch of tabs would be lost and replaced with blank new tab pages. It’s really frustrating when I trust the extension with session up to literally 100s of tabs.

None. That's what the bookmark functionality is for, no?

[–] Tywele@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 years ago

Sometimes it just doesn't seem worth it to save something as a bookmark when you only want to save it temporarily.

@MoreIronOre When I need to save a link for later, I send it to myself on Telegram 😅
