Right click?

Middle click.

A year or so ago, I started using an addon to put tabs in categories/windows because of this. Then I added more categories. And more.

I have easily a few hundred tabs now. My "general" category has maybe 60? My (unsaved) porn category, shit 300+? Then I've got server management, shopping, and a few others, with like 25ish each. And then I was like, ah ha, I'll be smart, I'll save things as bookmarks so stuff I'm shopping or researching or whatever is moved out of the way until I need it, then I'll export and use linkding to manage it all. Fuck it, I'll just use it for all categories as I clean up this mess slowly. Well long story short now I have a fuckload of tabs and 1k+ bookmark links. But the good news is I can simultaneously link you details about implementing Fail2Ban, info on a dozen docker containers, show you my progress so far on locally-hosted security systems, and a dozen tabs about whatever kink you want, without searching for anything.

Most browsers are now “sleeping” tabs so it’s only saving the URL, and not any of the data/objects on it. It’s kind of necessary given that modern ~~websites~~ adware has the system requirements of Crysis.

I was amazed to find out you can open a new tab by using middle-click in firefox.

Tree Style Tabs are pretty great if you like having hundreds of tabs open: https://addons.mozilla.org/pt-BR/firefox/addon/tree-style-tab/

The Lord of the Tabs? Bilbo Tabbins?

Hey, guys? Bookmarks. Every browser has nesting, organizable, searchable bookmark folders. Get your laundry off the chair, fold it, and put it in drawers.

Are you sure you want to close 208 tabs?

and then you get to close all tabs right of the first

Browser: "Are you gonna order somethin' kid!?" (all subsequent data streams to Google for future sale)

User: "Uh yeah, give me, gimme a tab."

Browser: "A tab. I can't give you a tab unless you order something!"

User: "But I'm jonesin for some saccharin ... not that newtra-schweddy or whatever it is"

Biff Yaml enters; sits two spaces down, feeling sexagesimal: "What are you looking at, BUTTHEAD!?" (all of his comments are one line)

Python Strickland enters: "User what are you doing? Four spaces are used for indentation. You got a real attitude problem, user; you're a slacker! You remind me of your dunder father when he went here; he was a slacker, too! Quack quack. (his package is poorly managed)

Linus Torvalds enters: heavy breathing ... curses in Finnish (Älykääpiö!) ... gits out

IBM Selectric: "Hold my beer .. and my ball"

Obnoxious neighbor kid walks in (a real ascii): Invokes char(11)/VT; sits on the floor. His Mylar balloon flies away, hits a high voltage line, and the power goes out.

Browser: "Well, looks like the milkshake machine's broken."

Teletype Model 28 looks up from drinking coffee and reading the morning paper tape: "I would like to be ... modified"

Doc Mill (nee' Rampazetto) enters: (shudders) "Momma bollocks!"

During this time, Helium was on a noble mission and did not react.

I have 21 tabs open right now, including this one. That's on my personal machine. Don't ask how many I have open on my work machine that I haven't rebooted in a few weeks.

vertical tabs for the win! I switched recently and it ignited this habit for me 😅

When you have more tabs than a pharmacy, it's time to worry!

Man, I'm so glad my ADHD kicks in the other way with this

The only time I let myself get over 3/4 tabs is when I'm searching for an answer in documentation or downloading game mods or similar, middle-click a whole shitton of pages then go through them, but always close them when I'm done with them because otherwise how will I find anything?

My bookmarks are organized, but also contain links to pages that died 10 years ago so maybe I should clean that

So genuine question, what are the benefits or reasons for having multiple tables open rather than saving as bookmarks or links? It just doesn't make any sense to me but seems to be pretty common for people to do any more and I want to understand
