Anwyays, i closed like 200 tabs, some dating back like, a year and a half... i still have 44 windows open with god knows how many tabs in them lol. Also its gone 5am.
Am i a messy internet user?
Now i just use Tab Wrangler. It’s a must have if you’re like me
In case that’s useful for anyone. I use those settings:
- Close inactive tabs after 1440 minutes
- Auto-close tabs if you have more than 20 tabs open
- Remember up to 1000 closed tabs
I start panicking when I have more than 20 tabs because it usually means I’m in A Rabbit Hole and I can’t wait to get out of it to close everything.
When I need “long term storage” for a link it either goes to my bookmarks or Raindrop.io.
From what I've experienced, there's two kinds of people and next to no in-between:
- Keeps a few tabs open, maybe a little more if they're feeling spicy. Frequently closes old tabs. Is horrified by the other kind of person.
- Their tabs are in the hundreds, maybe even thousands, each one taking up a few pixels on their screen at most. Some of the tabs have not seen daylight in eons, but nevertheless have some level of importance that have kept them there. Closing all the tabs is like burning down the Library of Alexandria.
