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✨
