Scripts using brotab's Python API to do useful things
Sorted by increasing complexity:
close_youtube_home_tabs.py- closes all YouTube homepage tabs (tabs with the "https://youtube.com" URL)close_empty_windows.py- closes windows only containing empty tabsmove_to_new_tabs.py- for each window where a "heavy" tab is currently active, either moves to an empty tab in the same window or opens an empty tab in that window. This helps reduce memory consumption after a Firefox session is restored.aggregate_twitter_tabs.py- closes all Twitter timeline tabs and moves Twitter tabs from all windows into a window that contains the most Twitter tabsaggregate_youtube_tabs.py- closes all YouTube main page tabs. Then, allows the user to sort all YouTube tabs into two windows - one with regular YouTube videos and one with YouTube music videos, so that, in the end, there's only two windows left containing YouTube tabs.aggregate_youtube_tabs_simpl.py- closes all YouTube main page tabs. Then, puts all the YouTube tabs into the window that contains the most YouTube tabs pre-sorting.export_youtube_tabs.py- closes all YouTube main page tabs. Then, fetches metadata for all open YouTube video tabs usingyt-dlp. Then, lets you sort through the tabs to either close them, ignore them, or append the video URL&name&channel to a text file of your choice. Also lets you quit the script mid-sorting in case you get tired midway.

Run with Python 3. Run these scripts as python3 -i script.py to get a commandline you can further experiment in after the script stops running.
