I use the Tabs Outliner: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/tabs-outliner/eggk...

Here is a screenshot of my current HN reading list: https://i.imgur.com/KvbucE2.png

It is similar to Tree Style Tabs for Firefox but with some key differences:

- It sits in a separate window and shows the tree for your entire current session. Each Chrome window is a child of the root node.

- It supports indentation via Tab or Shift-Tab and has several useful keyboard shortcuts

- Rearranging the tabs with the mouse is very precise. Indentation can also be controlled this way.

- It uploads the entire tree to Google Drive periodically and manually. This way I can move my tab tree between computers with a simple drag and drop.

- It can unload tabs or entire sub-trees (the green X icon in the screenshot). This makes extensions like The Great Suspender obsolete and I can still keep my gigantic tree hierarchy without eating all my RAM.

It became nagware, which among several other (mis)features was a killer.
Do you mean that it repeatedly asks for payment? I purchased a license long ago and did not know how bad it treated free users in recent versions.

That being said, I still do not regret for paying for this extension. It is still the only browser extension I ever paid for and just like back then with Tree Style Tab for Firefox this is the extension that keeps me from switching away from Chrome.

It broke flow, which is the greater offense.

I've not used it in years.
