Microsoft retired Edge Collections. Collections Plus brings the workflow back to Chrome and Edge, and goes further. Save pages, images and notes into collections in a side panel. Recover the collections Edge left on your disk, thumbnails included. Open a whole collection as a tab group, catch dead links with saved snapshots, export to Excel, and optionally ask your own AI about what you saved. No account, no server. Your data stays in your browser. Free and MIT-licensed.
Hey Product Hunt š I'm Rod.
I used Edge Collections every day: trip planning, project research, parts lists for things I was building. When it became clear Microsoft was winding it down, I built Collections Plus so I could keep mine. Then Microsoft retired it for real.
So here's what Collections Plus does:
šļø The Collections workflow, back in a side panel (or a floating window) in Chrome and Edge. Save a page, image, link, or text selection in one click, right-click, or Ctrl+Shift+S.
š Recover what Edge left behind. Most people never exported before Collections disappeared. Edge still leaves a SQLite database on disk, and Collections Plus reads it directly, thumbnails and favicons included. As far as I know, nothing else does this.
ā¶ļø Open a whole collection at once as a named tab group, like the original.
š Beat link rot. It flags dead links and saves readable snapshots so the content survives.
š Export to a real .xlsx with clickable links, or CSV, Markdown, HTML, or a shareable web page.
⨠Optional AI with your own key (Claude, OpenAI, Gemini, Grok, Azure, or local Ollama): search by meaning, summarize, suggest tags, get a weekly digest. It's off until you turn it on.
What it doesn't do matters just as much: no account, no server, no telemetry. Your collections live in your browser. Sync is a single file you keep in your own OneDrive, Drive, Dropbox, or iCloud folder. It's MIT-licensed and on GitHub.
Almost every recent release came from someone writing in. The whole 2.7 update started as one person's list of annoyances. So I'd love to know: what would make this your daily driver? And if you had Edge Collections, did the import bring yours back?
