| This Chrome extension allows you to name and annotate your
| entire browser session in a tree structure, and unlike TST on
| Firefox, it is not limited to a single window. In addition, it
| allows you to unload entire subtrees, and you can restore
| subtrees (or the whole session) on another computer.

| more than enough.
|
| Starting with a keyword search on the parent tab, all
| subsequent links are opened in child tabs that can be expanded
| / collapsed. When collapsed, the parent tab's title are the
| keywords, so it's a nice visual way to have the whole sub-tree
| "filed" into a single named entry.
|
| There are even a couple extras that allow me to long-middle-
| mouse-click a parent tab, and it unloads from memory the whole
| sub-tree. It's a pretty neat addon!

| and more than half might be to one new site that contains the
| docs for x thing I'm doing/learning.

| Your comment is self-contradictory - this is Show HN and they
| just gave their feedback.

| Neat comment, but it doesn't respect creator, and sentences
