And I really mean move, not copy.

The difference between copy and move is that copy... copies, but move dies copy->verify->delete original, in a single operation of the user.

Preferably, that is reliable. Meaning it checks the bookmarks have been successfully created before closing the related tab.

Also it should be clear what bookmark folder it is going to put the tabs in.

Because the current bookmark manager, it is easy to end up dumping all your tabs in the parent folder of tge destination you indented.

Or end up creating an extra child folder inside your intended destination bookmark folder

Would also be nice to have quality of life features, such as a default bookmark folder.

The option to put the bookmarks in a folder named with today's date.

Maybe an option to specify a default destination bookmarks folder on a per site domain basis

No you can only copy a tab to bookmark, not move it. It feels the same as "copy then close" when you only handle dozens of tabs, but I handle multiple hundreds and it just doesn't work great, often the saving tab stops midway without notice.

I need a real "move tab to bookmark" function that works seamlessly, is resilient and doesn't lose tabs.
