Comment on Why do some people have so many tabs open on their browser?
TranquilTurbulence@lemmy.zip 6 days agoI can see you have a lot of stuff going on, which naturally results in lots of tabs. That’s basically like using the web for professional purposes.
Comparing prices is one of those cases where I can easily have 20-30 tabs open, sometimes even more. However, once I’ve figured out what I’m going to order, I just close all of them to keep my sanity.
Many other people here have said that tabs act like reminders, and that’s a new approach to me. When I have lots of stuff going on at work, I put them on a long list in OneNote. It’s basically a sortable table that allows me to prioritize things, add additional information and mark tasks as complete. If I didn’t do that, life would feel very overwhelming. I think having lots of tabs could also result in similar discomfort, but obviously many people don’t feel that way.

Everyone has their own way of dealing with things. I do a lot more research on my tablet as it’s almost always with me. My desktop is used for video editing, some gaming, dealing with SBC (small board computing) devices, managing the homelab, and is also acting as my camera DVR.
Since most everything is already in the browser for me using something else to save the links is a slowdown outside of emailing something to myself for use on my desktop. It’s also the reason why I don’t use apps for many things, apps are linear and really don’t allow you to explore tangents like a browser with a new tab opening a link.

Forking the path is the real killer feature of websites. You can open the main page, click 4 subpages open, navigate each of them a little bit, compare different parts of the site and so on. It’s not uncommon, that I need to look up some information from one part of the same site when typing information inton some text box. Try that with an app!
