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.

Generally people who fake insanity are facing the death penalty instead of 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.

Also in Firefox, when using multi-window + multi-tab browsing, if you close a window without closing all of its tabs, you can press Ctrl+Shift+N in a remaining window (of the same Profile) to reopen closed window, which will now have all the tabs that you closed the window with. You can then again press Ctrl+Shift+T on the reopened window to restore its closed tabs.

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.

They have a minimum width and then you can scroll

But the minimum width is useless to know what the tab is…

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! Best used with css changes to remove the horizontal tab bar and the side menu header

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.

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.

While I believe that video has merit, I’d like to bring attention to münecat’s essay on it (and other “body language” vids), because there is chance Jim’s analysis is not accurate https://youtu.be/Y0VQyEY-B2I

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.
