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.

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...

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.

Not a fan of using a school shooter as a meme format
I wouldn’t have known had you not said this. Never saw this image before.
I didn't know until just now either. I actually assumed this was from that Making a Murderer documentary.
Do you think people use it because they don't know it's origin?
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'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.
Ctrl+Shift+T to reopen the tab!
Alright let me do that

Ah dang it I must've used that tab to search for something else. Oh well

...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.
They have a minimum width and then you can scroll
But the minimum width is useless to know what the tab is...
Firefox has a tab search 😁

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

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

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.
What pretending to be crazy looks like, from our favorite channel JCS - Criminal Psychology.
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

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.

Average Internet user forgetting there's a bookmark button
shut up. your not my tab supervisor!
Possibly... maybe not the ones from kbin.social though 😢
I love the instance burns on Lemmy. There should be a whole /c for this somewhere. It’s like the yo momma jokes of the fediverse.

Emotional support tabs
Why are you calling me out like this? What did I ever do to you?
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.
Why so secretive of your ram?
Okay, fine. I have 192 GB of RAM.
You could handle at least 5 chrome tabs with that.
They do, and I'm tired of pretending I'm not
I closed 2000 tabs today. That leaves me with the extremely small number of 4000 tabs. Yeah I use Firefox sync. 😎

You'll pry my tabs and red stapler out of my cold dead hands.
i'm offended
Yeah, I agree
I didn't cone here to be personally attacked, jeez!
Aaaaabsolutely.
That being said, the only thing that's getting close to my Sidebery tree tabs is LogSeq's graph, and it's a close competition. Might end up using the two simultaneously
I feel attacked
So there's the 100% safe option or the option that can just lose everything from a single missclick and people are still chancing it?
