I feel attacked
shut up. your not my tab supervisor!
Why are you calling me out like this? What did I ever do to you?
Me visiting any browser community on Lemmy.
I really hate how my computer slows down after I open ten thousand tabs
bookmarks don’t work for me
Does anyone have an extension for sorting, saving, and downloading hundreds of thousands of tabs? If I close the tab I lose access to that information forever. I need these tabs for work, school, my kids school, my banking info, my hospital visits, court dates, and that IM tab I had opened that one time I first used tabs.
Make it make sense.
They do, and I’m tired of pretending I’m not
My motto is “short pain” and occasionally just close all at once.
Demon. Voice. Aaaah
…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.
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.
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!
They have a minimum width and then you can scroll
But the minimum width is useless to know what the tab is…
Sideberry is a particularly useful extension for this, especially if you have an ultra wide monitor
That’s why you use TreeStyleTabs
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.
Firefox has a tab search 😁
What did you even expect I’d use my 50" ultrawide monitor for?
Vertical tabs. I have a plugin on Firefox that lists tabs vertically and they’re also stacked so tabs opened in a tab get nested in that tab. I can’t remember the name, but I’ll update this comment with it when at my computer if anyone wants it.
Tree style tabs! Best used with css changes to remove the horizontal tab bar and the side menu header
I use Firefox Nightly with native vertical tabs :P
Given that monitors tend to be wider than they are high, can’t see how this is a win tbh. Unless you’re going vertical monitor, then it’s the same real estate right?
E: words E2: I reread, if you can find that add-on I’d love to know what it is.
I thought the same when I first heard about it, but I gave it a go anyway. It’s a game changer.

On purpose?!
Um… there is a browsing history. It stores all the links. :)
I’d rather just confess to the murder
Yes, and I absolutely need the same tab three or four+ times. It helps with navigation and not having to remember positions in the 70+ stack of tabs where something is.
Average Internet user forgetting there’s a bookmark button
I now have installed an auto tab discarter extension, so I can keep all those tabs open without using too many resources but still be able to go back to them when I need to.
So… Bookmarks?
I use bookmarks for stuff that I know that I will some day in the future want to go back to. I don’t bookmark every link I open, because I want my bookmarks to only have the “good stuff”, ie. stuff that I know I will need often or in the future.
The amount of tabs I have open reflects the status of my mind
What number is AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH?
Oi! Don’t mess up my tab stacks and browser workspaces, I just rearranged them!
I turned my tab habit into a bookmark habit. Equally useful (ie not very), but far less messy.
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.
Bookmarks are too permanent. Tabs are for things I’m interested in but don’t really care about (and so I’ll probably never get back to). I use different windows for different types of things, so it’s organized. I just have an alias to kill Firefox when I want to game.
Creating and deleting bookmarks is simple. You’re just lazy.
And that’s OK; it’s a victimless as a crime gets. Just own it.
Oh I own it. I don’t have an issue with taking the lower effort option. I also like that they go away easily when I close the window.
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?
