Session Boss

TL;DR The extension current state as of 11-Jul-24 is slow, functionally insufficient, visually unappealing, & Unreliable. Session Boss is a poorly executed session manager that hinders user experience due to performance bottlenecks, feature deficiencies, and an outdated design & interface. infact it's a prime e.g. why people flee to better tab managing browsers ecosystems (chromium native support for tab management is not great but the extension support to manipulate the behavior makes up for it) The extension's performance issues are particularly egregious when dealing with large numbers of tabs. A session with 1,500 tabs took over 30 agonizing minutes to restore using Session Boss. In contrast, Firefox's native solution (about:sessionrestore) accomplished the same feat in mere seconds. takes a minute or 2 to completely do its job of restoring the tabs with their associated groups in the tree style tab with no laggy experience at all. Otherwise it does what it suppose to do. backs up your tabs & its structure by both on schedule & change basis but in order to do that it consumes too much CPU making your browsing miserable. i.e. not optimized for a session manager. Furthermore, the extension's performance woes extend beyond session restoration. General browsing becomes sluggish, and video playback is plagued by stuttering and lag. & worse it makes tree style tab slow & laggy. which makes it even more frustrating. Session Boss boasts a feature set that can only be described as rudimentary. It's as if the developers took a core concept and then deliberately stripped it down to its bare bones. - Basic Operations: The extension lacks fundamental capabilities like selecting multiple tabs for moving, copying, cutting, pasting tabs between sessions, and merging or splitting sessions. These are essential functions for any modern session manager. -- Duplicate Tabs: Identifying and managing duplicate tabs is a nightmare. There's no built-in mechanism to distinguish between identical tabs, let alone group or remove them. -- Import/Export: A critical omission is the absence of robust import/export options. The extension cannot import session data from popular alternatives like Chrome's TabXpert or Firefox's Tab Session Manager, nor can it utilize Firefox's native backup files (.jsonlz4, .baklz4). also, Non-existent CSV support. This limitation hampers user experience and restricts data transfer capabilities. & also significantly reduces the extension's utility. - Organization: Session Boss offers no tools for organizing tabs within a session. There's no option to sort tabs by domain, URL, title, or most recently used. After searching for tabs, there is no way to select and manage multiple tabs across different sessions. This makes managing large numbers of tabs an exercise in frustration. Coming down to the user interface of Session Boss is outdated and visually unappealing as already said above. It clashes with Firefox's modern design language, creating a jarring and unprofessional look. The extension's slow response times exacerbate the overall poor user experience. I suggest the Dev. to take a look at partizion.io & tabXpert both of them are great session manager & tab manager in every way. Performance wise, UI/UX wise, Feature Wise, support wise. please check them out so you can make your extension better for modern times. Data Loss: The extension exhibited alarming instability during testing. In one instance, all saved sessions were mysteriously deleted after a system crash. This is an unacceptable level of unreliability for a session manager. Session Boss's on-change basis and scheduled saving functions conflict, causing delays and additional issues. Re-enabling the extension after disabling it resulted in losing all session data. As it stands, this extension is in its infancy and requires extensive work before it can be considered a viable session manager for daily use.

It does fine in remembering the tabs and windows I saved but when i backup a session and try to reopen it it only opens 10-50% of the tabs i had open, and i have to do the rest manually.
