makanikai··on Ask YC: Suggestions for funding a small-scale open-source development project (a la the X Prize)
I'd love an extension that garbage collects my browser tabs.

I open a lot of tabs. Closing them is painful, and something I usually put off until my browser crashes, or I have to do a restart.

Then there's this process of manually serializing each unread URL to disk (cutting and pasting each unread URL and emailing it to myself).

I'd like something that does two things.

- Make it so that I never have to close a tab again, when I get to 15 or 20 active tabs, this firefox garbage collector starts writing them to bookmarks/saved pages, and closing the oldest ones.

- Provide some mechanism for winding back the wheel - and either searching the contents of - or just scrolling through my history.

I'd love to write it today, but feel my time is better spent hacking on mobile devices. If I don't find an implementation of this within a couple of weeks - I'll probably reconsider.

Cheers to anyone who sends me a link, or writes the code that makes my dreams possible.
