I turned my tab habit into a bookmark habit. Equally useful (ie not very), but far less messy.
yeah IDK how the fuck tabs overtook bookmarks as the way to save websites. i got into the bookmarking before tabs were even a thing. seeing people with 6 year old tabs amongst the thousands makes me dizzy. there’s so so much better of a way…
Especially since tabs can’t be organised as easily as bookmarks can. How will you ever actually find that tab?
This is the way, van even organize into categories. I’ve never understood the appeal of having 400+ tabs open in a browser all the time.

I tried that for a minute but it didn’t flow for me, now I use an extension (tab stash) that does basically the same thing but ✨prettier✨
Not a fan of using a school shooter as a meme format
I wouldn’t have known had you not said this. Never saw this image before.
I didn’t know until just now either. I actually assumed this was from that Making a Murderer documentary.
Do you think people use it because they don’t know it’s origin?
yeah, thats kinda not good. i didn’t know what the guy did, i saw a couple of scenes where he tried to plead insanity to get out of his responsibillity. thank you for bringing this up.
I don’t know how it is in the USA but here pleading insanity is not a way to “get out of your responsibility”, it can actually be a risky move because you are at risk of being imprisoned for the rest of your life. While a normal life sentence normally isn’t a life sentence.
Generally people who fake insanity are facing the death penalty instead of a life sentence.
Alright. Then I fully support it. No one deserves to die by the death penalty.
thanks, I never saw it this way. I am not sure that the guy from the video understood it as you explained it to me.
I’m the opposite. I’m a compulsive window and tab closer. I say I regret closing a tab or window about 30% of the time.
how do you do it ?
There’s always the history menu.
…I closed 1500 tabs a couple weeks ago…
Each tab must have been one micron wide, how did you even expect to be able to click on a specific one in the future with that many open - wait, I think I’ve answered my own question.
They have a minimum width and then you can scroll
But the minimum width is useless to know what the tab is…
Firefox has a tab search 😁
You underestimate the sheer volume in my hippocampus dedicated to tracking tabs.
… Kidding, mostly. Because generally tabs are grouped together in a way that makes sense so it’s easy to remember. These 10 tabs are me researching a new tool… A couple tags for articles I will surely get to… Then these 15 tabs are documentation for XYZ… Those 5 tabs are YouTube videos I want to watch… These are three Wikipedia searches that popped in my head and oh look a couple songs I want to listen to before adding them to my playlist.
If I want to find a tab and they are fully minimized then I click on the group with the relevant icon then I Ctrl+Tab through them until I find what I want. Perfectly reasonable.
I swear it makes sense and bookmarks are not an adequate replacement.
That’s why you use TreeStyleTabs
Sideberry is a particularly useful extension for this, especially if you have an ultra wide monitor
To be fair, they were spread across 3 windows. 900 tabs on my general window, 400 on my work window, and 200 on my home server window
Yeah, I didn’t really think you had that many tabs open in one window. But it was funny to think someone might have done that. Think how small they’d be!
what do you mean?
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tree-style-tab/
or
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/sidebery/
i even have a search bar to search between my own tabs.
Tree style tabs is cool, but sidebery is where it’s fucking at.
Vertical tabs, groups, automatically open certain sites in specific container tabs, pin tabs to the top or unload them.
Everything I could possibly want for tab organization, even down to a fully adjustable css file with a great UI for getting that shit pixel perfect.
I will look at this but I never have more than 4 tabs open so…
Isn’t that the school shooter kid that tried to evade prison time on the account of being criminally insane? Idiot faked “hearing voices” and suicidal thoughts and did so badly at that. The whole interview is a cringefest.
Why are you calling me out like this? What did I ever do to you?
Emotional support tabs
I hate having any more tabs open than I absolutely need. Right now, I have none. I’m probably gonna either fire up a YouTube video or find someone to watch on Twitch here in a minute, at which point I’ll have one tab open. I’m not gonna say exactly how much RAM I have, but I have as much RAM as my motherboard will take, so I can definitely afford to open more than one tab. I just don’t see any reason to, frankly, and it drives me up the wall.
Why so secretive of your ram?
Okay, fine. I have 192 GB of RAM.
You could handle at least 5 chrome tabs with that.
Oh wowwww. Look at mr/mrs bigshot over here with 192 GB of ram.
The machine I had before this had 4 GB, lol. That’s why I put so much of the budget into RAM when I built this one.
Average Internet user forgetting there’s a bookmark button
You’ll pry my tabs and red stapler out of my cold dead hands.
They do, and I’m tired of pretending I’m not
I closed 2000 tabs today. That leaves me with the extremely small number of 4000 tabs. Yeah I use Firefox sync. 😎
i’m offended
Yeah, I agree
I didn’t cone here to be personally attacked, jeez!
I feel attacked
So there’s the 100% safe option or the option that can just lose everything from a single missclick and people are still chancing it?
