blargerer ( @blargerer@kbin.social ) 12•2 months agoSometimes I see people complaining about firefox crashing or being low performance, and I’m always like, I’ve been using firefox for 20 years its always been fine. Then I see this and I’m like okay, I guess me topping out at 20-30 tabs when researching something new isn’t enough for some people? Use book marks.

blindsight ( @blindsight@beehaw.org ) 4•2 months agoMaybe it’s just my ADHD, but I can’t even imagine managing that many tabs.
In my workflow, I start a project, then keep opening new tabs as I need to look things up, frequently moving tabs between multiple browsers spanning my 32" monitor. So long as I’m working on that problem, I just keep opening new tabs.
Then, when I’ve finally squared away the section of the project I was working on, I usually just close the browser entirely and start fresh.
Needing to manually sift through the 80+ tabs I chaotically opened in the last hour or so to figure out what’s worth keeping? Hell no. That’s what browser history is for. It’s Etch-a-Sketch time! Shake it clean and start fresh.
douglasg14b ( @douglasg14b@beehaw.org ) 3•2 months agoPretty sure it’s me ADHD that causes me to accumulate tabs like this…
I’ll have dozens and dozens of windows full of tabs.
I recently did a tab clean out before moving. And had tabs up from ideas or to do’s or items that interested me from 4+ years ago.
Every time I restart my computer or close Firefox I always restore my previous session and get all those tabs back.
Lvxferre ( @lvxferre@mander.xyz ) 3•2 months agoI follow a “rule of seven” with tabs: once I open the 8th tab, I check the other 7 to see if
- I don’t need it any more - close it down
- I’ll need it in a near future - keep it open
- I’ll need it in a far future - bookmark it, close it down
Seven is small enough to keep track of them, but large enough to be flexible.
Tower ( @Tower@lemm.ee ) 2•2 months agoWhereas my ADHD has me keeping huge numbers of tabs open (although my record is only ~350) because once it’s closed, it’s completely gone from my mind. Bookmarks are a burial ground, and history has all the other stuff that I don’t need to reference anymore. With tabs, I can go through them and remember why I kept it around, and close it once I’ve actually done something with it.
brettvitaz ( @brettvitaz@programming.dev ) 3•2 months agoIs this an onion article because when I have 10 tabs open my processor tries to cook itself.
