Since I've been using the Mac Mini and Macbook Air, I've migrated my browser usage to Microsoft Edge.
Why?
I like the way Edge manages tabs. I can have many tabs but the tabs
that aren't being actively used are disabled until you begin to use them
(they're on standby, using minimal memory).
I decided that I
wanted to use the same browser and tab manager browser extension
combination on my gaming machine, which runs MS Windows 10 Pro.
The
results were disappointing. While the browser extension works, it also
apparently kills YouTube audio. No matter what "fixes" I applied, the
only solution that allows YouTube audio is removing the Workona Tab
Manager browser extension. When I removed it, I regained audio. When I
reinstalled it, I lost audio.
I left the following review for the Workona folks:
So,
I can either continue to use Workona's Tab Manager on the Macs and find
another for the Windows box, or I can find a good one for all three. I
haven't decided what to do yet.
UPDATE:
I decided to stop using Workona's products. I've been using Tab Session Manager the past 3 months. It's simple enough to use and doesn't have any bad side affects.
UPDATE 2 (12/10/2023):
I noticed maybe 3-4 months ago that Microsoft Edge has something that is very similar to Workona, called Workpsaces. I'm able to use the workspaces based on the types of projects I'm working and can swap from one to another at my whim. I'm using this in conjuction with Tab Session Manager.
UPDATE 3 (5/24/2024):
Noticed awhile ago (maybe 8 month ago) that, if I switch to another Mac and use MS Edge, the workspaces I created and use on one Mac is accessible fron other Macs. I basically no longer lose track of browser tabs.
