    I turned my tab habit into a bookmark habit. Equally useful (ie not very), but far less messy.

      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?

      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.

      I tried that for a minute but it didn’t flow for me, now I use an extension (tab stash) that does basically the same thing but ✨prettier✨

      yeah, thats kinda not good. i didn’t know what the guy did, i saw a couple of scenes where he tried to plead insanity to get out of his responsibillity. thank you for bringing this up.

        I don’t know how it is in the USA but here pleading insanity is not a way to “get out of your responsibility”, it can actually be a risky move because you are at risk of being imprisoned for the rest of your life. While a normal life sentence normally isn’t a life sentence.

    I’m the opposite. I’m a compulsive window and tab closer. I say I regret closing a tab or window about 30% of the time.

      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.

            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.

        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!

        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 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.

    Isn’t that the school shooter kid that tried to evade prison time on the account of being criminally insane? Idiot faked “hearing voices” and suicidal thoughts and did so badly at that. The whole interview is a cringefest.

          To criticize this critique: The JCS video encourages the watcher to form their own opinion and highlights the farces that that murderer pulled off. The interpretation given in that scene was clearly their own opinion and that was, in fact, communicated even if it was not expressively written in the description. It was merely a commentary on the oddity of the situation.

        Exactly. Binged all of their videos, they are actually informative and well-researched. But the topic is not appealing to advertisers, so YouTube had to bully them off the site.

          I’m just going to rec some good creators that filled the void.

          Matt Orchard probably has the highest quality content. Strong recommendation for him.

          Dreading. Seems Intentionally dry but covers the most details of a case. Sometimes posting 4 hours of courtroom footage.

          Explore with Us. Probably the most tabloid style presentation and worst editorial takes. They have the longest chunks of police interrogation though. They have alt channels for body cam stuff too which is pretty dope.

    I hate having any more tabs open than I absolutely need. Right now, I have none. I’m probably gonna either fire up a YouTube video or find someone to watch on Twitch here in a minute, at which point I’ll have one tab open. I’m not gonna say exactly how much RAM I have, but I have as much RAM as my motherboard will take, so I can definitely afford to open more than one tab. I just don’t see any reason to, frankly, and it drives me up the wall.

        At the beginning of the year, the main developer, Ernest, was dealing with health issues (without details). The project has not had activity recently because of that, and it is not known much more. We wish him the best tho.

    I closed 2000 tabs today. That leaves me with the extremely small number of 4000 tabs. Yeah I use Firefox sync. 😎
