I can’t speak for the developers, but I’m certainly judging you.
I blame my ADHD and anxiety 🤷
It’s okay. My wife has ADHD and anxiety, and many many tabs. She calls them her “emotional support tabs.”
TIL that browsers show a number in the “:D box” if you don’t have enough tabs open.
What do you guys do with so many tabs? I usually close mine if I get more than 7 or 8
In my case, ADHD, curiosity, and anxiety about not being able to find something again if I need it later.
I never said it was RATIONAL behavior 😄
That’s what bookmarks are for. And even if the webpage gets removed on the server you often can find it on archive.org . Heck if you really wanna make sure you can load the page later your can save the webpage locally onto your device
Bookmarks!
Don’t even get me STARTED on the state of my bookmarks 😄
I have 25 year old bookmarks for sites that haven’t existed in almost that long. I can’t bring myself to delete them. I have bookmark nostalgia. :|
I have all sorts of projects and tasks I jump between depending on my ever shifting priorities. And some projects of mine can spawn 20+ tabs on their own.
I have hundreds of tabs open at any given time
Likewise (well, I don’t know about “hundreds,” haha, but dozens, certainly). Ever since tab-searching became a thing (
in the omnibar of Firefox or Ctrl+Shift+A in Chromium), tab count or location in the tab strip doesn’t matter; just jump to whatever you need. This has been tremendously game-changing at my work which also calls for dozens of spreadsheets to be accessible at a moment’s notice based on the task at hand.
I think most browsers do this. IIRC Chrome puts a “:D” there if you exceed 99
And a
;)for incognito tabs!
A lot of people in this thread would love Onetab. It‘s available for Firefox and Chrom* on desktop and Firefox on Android.
It gets Meta on you.
I don’t see this. is it on a phone maybe?
It is indeed
yes it’s on Firefox mobile, doesn’t have to be nightly, I use the normal version and it shows the same thing
Vertical tabs really help. i average around 25, but sometimes i get well over 100. Too many tabs on the top bar and they just become icons with a few characters of text, but with vertical tabs you can actually read them.
I use the “Tree style tabs” extension (which gives you outline-style tabs and sub-tabs) and a couple lines of userChrome.css to hide the top tab bar. Very happy they added native vertical tabs, i may switch to that eventually.
Not just nightly, it’s been doing this forever.
Fine with it, only Linus can judge me.
