I strongly believe in a higher-level concept of **"just take me to THIS place - as fast as possible, as easy as possible"**.
|
||||
Thus making bridges between plugins may sometimes produce huge value! BTW wouldn't it be nice to allow inter-plugin communication to create this kind of "bridges" more easily?

# How it works
|
||||
|
||||
The core is Browser Bookmarks plugin, unchanged by default.

|
|||
Next, each time the bookmark is triggered again, it just switches to the existing tab instead of launching a new one.
|
||||
**It takes milliseconds instead of long seconds** (or sometimes close to half a minute in corporate environments where all is slow even if you have a high-end laptop - you won't believe it until you live it!).

# Known issues
|
||||
|
||||
The extension bases on RuntimeId of AutomationElement from Microsoft UI Automation.
|
||||
This is a weak spot as browsers are used to regenerate internal structures and even reuse RuntimeId.
|
||||
Therefore it happens that a bookmark activates a wrong tab.
|
||||
The most common case is while user opens several tabs one after the other quickly.
|
||||
Still **"just take me to THIS place in milliseconds"** works almost all of the time so it brings so much value that it is worthwhile to accept the fact it fails sometimes.
|
||||
|
||||
The quickest workaround is:
|
||||
|
||||
- close the wrong tab
|
||||
- rerun opening the bookmark which will create a new tab this time
|
||||
|
||||
# Alternatives
|
||||
|
||||
Reading URLs of existing tabs was tried. It would make mapping of bookmarks to tabs more reliable.
