<story><title>TabFS: Mount your Browser Tabs as a Filesystem</title><url>https://omar.website/tabfs/</url></story><parent_chain><item><author>cocktailpeanuts</author><text>This is a brilliant piece of work. As someone who has thousands of tabs open, I&amp;#x27;ve always wanted to &amp;quot;close all tabs with a single command&amp;quot;, or view all the open tabs and mass select them and close, for years. Otherwise, going through them one by one and deleting takes forever. Now somebody make a vim pluggin so I can delete tabs by visual selecting a bunch of them and typing &amp;quot;d&amp;quot;.</text></item></parent_chain><comment><author>tobestobestobes</author><text>It&amp;#x27;s a huge leap forward in browser management. Not exactly a replacement for headless browsing&amp;#x2F;scraping etc, but for personal use, nothing compares. A big contribution to the &amp;quot;personal data management&amp;quot; toolbox.&lt;p&gt;In the realm of tab management, I use this one liner in console of chrome:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;inspect every once in a while, then just close all of my tabs:&lt;p&gt;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;  collection = document.getElementById(&amp;quot;pages&amp;quot;).getElementsByClassName(&amp;quot;subrow&amp;quot;); final_output_tsv = &amp;quot;title\turl\n&amp;quot;; for (let item of collection) {final_output_tsv += `${item.children[0].innerHTML}\t${item.children[1] ? item.children[1].innerHTML : &amp;quot;N&amp;#x2F;A&amp;quot;}\n`}; copy(final_output_tsv)
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;
Substitute &amp;quot;devices&amp;quot; for &amp;quot;pages&amp;quot; to get android chrome tabs&lt;p&gt;This way I can backup all my tabs in simple, non-bookmark format and search them using python etc.</text></comment>

I sort of rolled my eyes, but accepted his rare behavior.&lt;p&gt;However as time has gone on, I&amp;#x27;ve been surprised to find I may have the rare behavior and it is common for people to work this way.&lt;p&gt;So.. maybe this is a way he can backup his &amp;quot;filesystem&amp;quot; and not suffer a nervous breakdown when his machine reboots or some othe browser failure where he loses his world.</text></comment>
