Session Storage
Keep your browsing sessions in memory, don't loose your work and don't be afraid to close the browser.
The cross-browser add-on (extension) to store browsing sessions.
It's purpose is to keep all your opened tabs in memory so you won't be afraid to close your browser or to start a new session.
The idea is to have a simple plugin (being available in the upper-right corner) that will allow you to:
* Save the current session (of current window) under specific ID or customized key
* Reopen selected session in a new browser window
* Manage your saved sessions by deleting it or modifying
---
## Installation & Usage ##
This extension can be installed by:
* installing it via the selected add-ons market by clicking one of the buttons bellow:
* downloading it directly from the [Releases page](https://github.com/BartoszKlonowski/session-storage/releases) and install it manually in your browser
After successful installation you will see the extension icon in the upper-right corner of your browser.
Popup that appears allows to do four actions:
| | | |
|:-:|:-|:-:|
| **Save** | Saves all tabs of the current window under the name specified in the input on the left.
The name itself is also saved in memory, so that it's easier to select it later. | 
|
| **Edit** | Edits the selected session (the one which name was selected/entered in the text field input). The edit action is available under the *SAVE* button.
Note that this action completely overwrites the selected session with all the tabs currently opened in current window.
**NOTE**: This action can't be reverted - each session is saved without it's change revisions/history. | 
|
| **Delete** | Removes the session which name was entered/selected in the text field input. Name of deleted session will also be removed so only the existing sessions will be availble to be selected.
**NOTE**: If name of a non-existing session will be entered to be deleted this action takes no effect. | 
|
| **Reopen** | Opens all tabs previously saved under the selected/entered session's name.
All tabs of reopened session are created in the **current** window, so the advice is to reopen a session in a new window to avoid mixing various sessions |
