I don't understand why people do this. You can't find anything. It bogs down performance.

Just--bookmark things.

(I have a lot of bookmarks, sorted into many folders, and I periodically review them to take out sites I no longer need bookmarked.)

@tyghebright @sentientdessert kids these days have no idea what you're talking about.

I use Pinboard and/or Toby. Tagging! Community! Discovery! Yay!

@tyghebright Vivaldi lets you hibernate tabs, so it basically shuts them down so they don't take memory.

I know firefox has all tabs hibernated until you click on them when reopening it.

Some people just can't stand closing tabs. I leave many open myslf because I WILL forget if it's not on the bar.

@sentientdessert

With Firefox, they're *sorta* hibernated, but still contribute to the memory leak.

@tyghebright @sentientdessert

I close ALL tabs daily. Am I weird. I have tabs going in my phone, but keep that minimal. On my desk top I need the memory for my work programs and never let myself get to that many. 7000+ is insanity. How do you hop through them to find something. Bet they don't use more than their last 20. How do they transfer that to a new machine?

@Kurtroedeger @sentientdessert

Most all the Gan Zers I know have several hundred tabs open, and it's not unusual for them to have more than 1000. 7k is still a lot.

But I agree--I don't understand how that's functional or how they find anything.

@tyghebright @Kurtroedeger @sentientdessert my ADHD brain would just shut down with that much going on at once. That many tabs makes me so anxious.

@tyghebright @sentientdessert

Only way that'd work is if tabs had a search function. Book marks do which is why I use them. I don't even bother with folders now, just use the search feature to get the site I want.
