Tab Saver for Safari
Tab Saver for Safari ($4.99) enables you to save open tabs and provides various other features. After installing the extension, click its button in the Safari toolbar to save all open tabs or just the current tab, access saved tabs, and more.
The extension provides other options. For example, you can add a tab to your session, delete a website from the session, or rename the session. You can also copy links of saved websites to paste into custom lists or even copy webpages as text. The extension provides options to import and export saved bookmarks.
Do more with Safari
Safari includes many features for productive browsing across the iPhone, iPad, and Mac. For example, you can create tab groups to separate your work and personal tabs. Doing so will also enable you to configure a Focus filter to activate any tab groups you select when your device enters a Focus mode like Do Not Disturb.
You can also pin your favorite tabs so they appear at the top on the tabs overview screen and new tab pages. And if you use another browser, you can easily export your bookmarks from Safari.
