I was a heavy OneTab user.
I had 5k+ tabs before my "data loss incident", when GoToMeeting went berserk, crashed chrome, and my tabs were gone...
Towards the end, it was:
- Slow
- GA tracking
- who knows what they are doing with my tab data
- Requests 900 favicons on boot via Google proxy
- This also breaks locally hosted apps favicons
- Not Great Suspender compatible
- I've req'd this feature at least a few times over last 3 years.
- Not backed up anywhere
- Export is manual and in a crap format.
- When the tabs are gone, they are gone.
So I wrote my own.
- Save Tabs
- Browser action button
- context menu
- Keyboard shortcuts
- Save tabs to indexeddb
- except pinned tabs
- UI page
- list tabs
- restore tab
- delete tab
- favicons
- drag and drop
- within tab group
- between tab group
- merge tab groups
- tab groups
- Restore
- Rename
- Delete
- pop out
- Counter
- Options
- skip pinned tabs
- Autoremove links
- How to open Groups
- Filter Duplicates
- Import / Export
- disable favicons
- Filter box
- refresh in place
- list tabs
- Compatible with TabGroups
- On save window
- On restore
- persist group title correctly
Russian for singleton, but also:
- Loner
- Alaskan trading posts
- solitary confinement
You can use the below jq
command to convert from an Export History extension
dump format to a file that can be read back in to odinochka.
jq '[{ts:1, name:"restore", tabs:[.[] | {title:.title, url:.url, favicon:"", pinned:false}], urls:[.[].url]}]' history_export.json >history2.json
Chrome can mysteriously delete data whenever it crashes, so I recommend regularly backing up your tabs using the export features.
- Download all links as json at https://api.pinboard.in/v1/posts/all?format=json
- Convert using
jq '[{ts:3, name:"pinboard", tabs:[ .[] | {title:.description, url:.href, favicon:"", pinned:false} ], urls:[.[].href] }]' downloads/pinbord.json >pinboard.out
- Import the converted json
Odinochka uses Chrome's internal database to store all tabs. The database folder is located in ~/.config/google-chrome/Default/IndexedDB/chrome-extension_gdoeiedioceagbkajogciogiopdgpoba_0.indexeddb.leveldb/
.
Close chrome, copy that folder from the old Chrome Profile folder on the old disk to a new profile folder. Restart chrome and odinochka should be populated.
