Why don't y'all just use bookmarks or even just go back thru the homepage sometimes? Managing tons of stale tabs can't be that much easier?
bookmarks are for repeated access, tabs are for one-time things that you're going to get to any day now
Loading up the same tab each day is not repeated use? And you can also have folders in bookmarks. Ctrl+B Ctrl+W Bookmark added to last save location and tab closed.
if you don't click them, they don't load. and if i can't see the thing i'll forget about it.
How many can you see even? 20 or maybe 30 if only the icons load?
Keeping this many of anything in working memory is also not possible without forgetting.
Definitely not hundreds so the point about visibility is kind of mute.
hundreds.
The lengths people will go to not use bookmarks...
These are bookmarks with extra steps!
no, fewer steps. these auto-arrange themselves into hierarchies based on browsing history, meaning you always have context for why a page was opened.
An addon is an extra step compared to built-in.
there's a difference between doing an extra step once and doing it every time you need the functionality. i open hundreds of new tabs on a given day and i need to keep maybe 50% of them around for a few days, and 5% permanently.
So you have like 3500+ permanent tabs in just one year?! Be honest with yourself, how many of them will you ever visit again?
usually i'm saved from that by finishing up a project, meaning i can close an entire tree at once. but before my last profile corruption i did have some tabs that were over 10 years old. i also had multiple workspaces with a few hundred tabs each but i never looked at those because, as mentioned, if it's not in my line of sight i do not remember it exists.
bookmark it in the temporary todo folder.
having 7k+ bookmarks is more manageable than 7k+ browser tabs.
Amen!
Tree style tabs and unloaded tabs has it easier than bookmarking imo It's like I can navigate all my bookmarks spatially, activating any of them rather rhan navigating through the ui to see which link was which
