Tab Session Manager for Edge

Losing your browsing session, even by accident, brings a lot of frustration and makes you waste a lot of time searching previously opened tabs in the browser history. That is why having a session management tool is always a good idea, regardless of the browser you are using. The Tab Session Manager extension is one of the best choices to make and it comes in three flavors, one dedicated to Microsoft’s Edge browser.

Once the add-on is installed in Edge, you should be able to see a new button in the browser toolbar. Clicking on it reveals a popup window which is actually the session management dashboard. If you prefer, you can also open it in a separate tab rather than the popup.

All the opened tabs can be saved to a new browser session with a click. The list of sessions is neatly displayed, each with all its opened windows and tabs. While deleting a tab from a session is possible, adding a new tab into an existing session is not. However, you can replace a session completely or append tabs in an opened window to a session. Saved sessions can be opened on demand in the current window or a new one. You can configure Tab Session Manager to open a certain list of tabs and windows at launch.

One of the perks of Tab Session Manager is that it allows automatic session saving. In other words, you don’t have to worry about saving your session manually all the time, as your list of tabs is stored in the cloud periodically.

There are a few other options worth mentioning, as shown below. It is worth noting that, when loading a previously saved session, the content of each tab is not loaded until you click on it. Obviously, this option saves memory usage significantly.

In addition to tabs, Tab Session Manager can also be configured to restore all windows in the same position, thus saving you the time needed to setup your working environment once more.

With a few more to discover for yourself, Tab Session Manager is one of the add-ons that is really worth having installed in your browser. And if Microsoft Edge is not your browser of choice, it also comes with editions for Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox.
