I have way too many Tab Groups that I've accumulated over the last year or so. Though I'm sure they're taking up less memory than open Safari tabs, I imagine they take up more memory than, say, bookmarks. I was thinking it might be nice to convert a Tab Group and the tabs in it to a Bookmark Folder with those tabs as bookmarks in the folder. I don't see any direct way to do it. Any thoughts?

It was a daunting task because I had so many among many Profiles - which is why I’m here. But really only took about 5 minutes:
Option+Command+B to open Edit Bookmarks.
Open the Side Panel so you can see your tabs.
Click the New Folder in Bookmarks for however many Tab Groups you have.
I chose to make a Folder named after each Profile and putting all these new folders in them.
Get all the tab names copy & pasted.
Safari lets us drag the tab group into the folder for bookmarking.
If the Export Browsing Data included TABS then there would be an alternative. I’m not familiar with any automation that would save time since it would likely still involve clicking tab groups and selecting “Copy Links” and, like, parsing it into a .csv that could be imported from “Import Browsing Data From File or Folder...” but I’m naive on scripts and what-not.
I too am searching for an automated process that will take my (out of control) Safari tab groups and convert them into same-named bookmark folders. Doing this manually—while possible—is terrifying. App, Utility, script…whatever it takes. Thx!
In Safari, can I convert a Tab Group to a Bookmark folder?
