Hi,

This has been a wonderful discussion to read. I've started a dedicated thread on 'Getting back to websites important to you' to better understand your workflows. I'd be curious to hear about what is missing from existing features like Recently closed tabs, Add all tabs to Collections, and the Continue where you left off Setting that is not quite filling the void of Tab Set Aside.

It sounds like one of the major benefits of Tab Set Aside is that it simultaneously closed the tabs providing a visually clean slate when context switching in the browser.

Thanks,
