Window-based task grouping (where that's possible) is ... somewhat tenable.

It's not available on Android / Mobile, of course, but on any windowing desktop OS it's an option.

Firefox + Tree Style Tabs is still worlds ahead of this.

imho the pinacle of tab-ui was pre-quantum firefox with tabkitv2.

tree style tabs is roughly on par with what opera delivered in the early 2000's or nowadays vivaldi.

I was probably using that, when it was around.

Good, and possibly better than today's TST, but still short of my goal(s). And that's without its instability (ISTR that crashing a fair bit.)

I'd like to be able to:

- Search tabs (by metadata).

- Search tabs (by content).

- Organise tabs by task / project. Including assigning open tabs to tasks, and possibly to multiple tasks.

- A sense of utility vs. info tabs. (Pinned tabs ... sort of does this. Examples might be webmail, chat app, or tools like a dictionary or other data-lookup page.)

- Arbitrarily grouping a set of tabs based on specifiable criteria, or UI-based multi-select.

- Taking actions based on those groupings (close, combine under a single tree, bookmark, print, save, etc.)

I'd have to think more on what sorts of things I'd be doing, but Web as Workflow is a major component of this. Current browser design seems entirely antithetical to this.
