i like keeping everything related to one project together in one window, then i close the window (and with it the 9999 related tabs) when the project is complete i could probably do bookmark folders and accomplish the same thing, but then its out of sight and ill immediately forget that it exists i might not be working on whatever project right now, but when i remember to do that all the stuff will be right there where i left it and not disappeared away

if you don’t have a ton of tabs open its becausw you’re refreshing the same 2 websites over and over and you’re bored but you can’t bring yourself to do something else

carry on then posted:i would prefer not to give a poo poo but it's hard watching the idiot presenter bumble through 230 open tabs in one window to find the one he wanted to show on webex it looks like with the paxmod add-on for firefox, this isn't a problem! see the previous poster:  you can actually read the tab titles now! Sweevo posted:did you know that webpages still exist after you close the tab? crazy right! you can just visit them again and they're still there. closing the tab doesn't work either because i believe chome only keeps your history for 90 days which is just lol. i'm guessing because they're a search company and they literally want you to forget the website you were trying to find so you actually use their search engine to find it. Sweevo posted:did you know that webpages still exist after you close the tab? crazy right! you can just visit them again and they're still there. you can even bookmark them if you want. you don't have to keep 200 tabs open just in case you want to read something again in eight months time i kinda get it though. i can be a bit of a tab hoarder sometimes because there's something i would like to read later, but i know if i put it in a bookmark i will literally never visit it again.

I keep a lot of tabs open for various reasons. For example, there's this guy who is reviewing every single hip hop album from the 80s and 90s, one by one, track by track. He does one a week. (here's the link for any hip hop nerds in here: https://timeisillmatic.me/page/40/) That's an example of a tab I keep open forever. I want to remember to check out the site once in a while. If I saved it as a bookmark, I would never see it again. Another good example is I have a bunch of tabs of news stories, usually from crime stories my wife and I saw on Dateline, 20/20, or 48 Hours. A decent amount of the time on those shows the cases are pending and you don't find out if they were found guilty or what their sentence was. So I will find a news article on the person, and leave the tab open, to remember to find out the outcome of the case. A good example of this is the story of Chad Daybell, who killed his girlfriend's two young kids as part of some religious ritual in Idaho last year. The story obviously pissed me off, and I eventually want to know what happens with the case. Without a tab of the story kept open, I would never find out. I guess I could save it to a text document called "READ LATER" but if it's not in my face like a tab is, I will probably never see it again. Other tabs are things like stuff I might want to buy but want to think about it, or projects I want to start but can't start yet. I don't like having 300 tabs open but the alternative (forgetting all of them) is just worse in my head. LastInLine posted:lol i dont care what people do with browser tabs but if i see it then i know its a sign of mental illness same as if i happened to see their kitchen filled with dirty dishes or their car filled with trash with just enough room for the driver I'm just busting your balls. I actually think my computer hoarding can be funny sometimes. To be honest, I feel like if I didn't hoard stuff digitally, I'd be one of those people who would have stacks of old newspapers that would eventually crush me to death, or I would have an entire home full of empty reusable plastic Chinese food containers. But my OCD and hoarding tendencies are satiated digitally, so it doesn't manifest itself in the physical real world for me, at least. So I actually kinda like it!

I've used the Feedly app before. I just don't see how it helps me with that guy's hip hop blog. I don't see the term "RSS" on his site anywhere at all.
