Is it a normalfag thing to have dozens of tabs open? My sister

Maybe she's tech illiterate enough that she doesn't realize she's making tabs. Or maybe she forgets to close them. Or maybe she actually does know what is what.

I've had shitloads of tabs open for years now. I tend to have a lot of tasks running in parallel (personal projects, shit I'm trying to learn, etc) which leads to a pile of sites that are in this weird void where I need to keep them around and handy for whenever inspiration strikes, but they're not so important that I want to go through the pain in the ass of adding several tens of tabs to an already largely-unmanaged list of bookmarks.

I'm not the only one who does this. I've met several others who do the exact same thing. What this suggests to me is that there's a great need for a new browser feature that's better equipped to handle this task. Workspaces or temporary bookmarks maybe? I dunno, but plain old tabs are getting as unruly as browser windows did before tabs were a thing.

>>60205779
Only women do this but /g/ wouldn't know

I do it, whenever I search something I just control+T and type

Yeah, its a woman thing. My ex used to do it

I do it but I use vertical tabs in Firefox. I'm not sure how you could bare to do it in Chrome without an extension.

>>60205779
I generally have upwards of 20 tabs between 3 browsers.

>>60205779
I used to keep only around 5-tabs open but now I just open everything I wanna view before doing anything and go through them one by one until I'm done. Using keyboard shortcuts to navigate them helps a lot.

Multiple tabs is a sign of autism.

Especially if its like an imgur jpg on one specific tab you looked at for a second and never closed.

>>60206468
it's literally the opposite. every plainbrain i know keeps dozens of tabs open across multiple browsers because they just don't pay attention to shit. browser crashes, they restart with the same tabs, and on and on.

It depends on how they're used, non-normalfags do it too

>>60205779

>>60205935
What this means is that people are idiots who can't manage the simple task of organising their bookmarks.
This is a state of mind, not a problem with the software application.
It's like having a filing cabinet next to your desk, but instead of using it, you pile papers and dossiers on your desk. And then whining about how ineffective the filing cabinet is.

>What this means is that people are idiots who can't manage the simple task of organising their bookmarks.
Bookmarks are slow as shit when you get a lot of them. My 6700k lags like fuck opening mine.

>>60205779
when i was working on my dissertation i had 100+ tabs open

>>60206745
i don't know why you would waste time "organizing" your bookmarks given modern search tools

>>60205935
Tab Groups for firefox adds tab workspaces and i use them for exactly this

>>60206939
Firefox doesn't have this problem.

>>60207028
How many do you have? It takes me a while and I've only got around 5k.

>>60206745
Bookmarks are for things I know I'm going to be coming back to. If I've got a couple projects going on and a few dozen tabs open for each project that I'm never going to need once I'm finished, fuck cluttering my bookmarks with that bullshit, I'll just leave the tab open till I'm done with it.

>tfw I do this
>leftmost tabs are youtube/music/etc that I have open forever no matter what
>after that goes in order of when I opened it
>try to vaguely organize them so I know like "here's the porn section" or "here's the list of anime I want to watch" or "here's vidya related things"
>the rightmost tabs are the volatile ones that I open and close

The reason is that a triple click on the arrows will bring to that end of the tabs. The middle becomes a sort of dead zone unless I'm looking for something specific. I had 1253 tabs open and cleaned them out last week, bookmarking 221 things and closing about 800, some of which being opened as early as last march I think.

The ratio generally ends up being 10% music, 35% porn, 25% vidya stuff, 10% lists of stuff to download/do/watch/buy, 15% random stuff I opened, thought was neat and might need again but didn't close and 5% stuff I've used in the past couple days/social media (4chan, reddit, tumblr, twitter)

It used to lag a bit on my old PC but since firefox only loads tabs you select it's fine. Being on a 6700k with 32gb helps

>>60205779
my dad does that
and my mom has layers of pictures on her desktop; I put everything in a "desktop junk" folder and she promptly filled the desktop back up again

I've tried it before, it's way too much work and I absolutely hate how much space it takes up compared to the normal tab bar. Maybe when I finally join the 21:9 memesterrace I'll try it but I've been doing this for a decade now.

>>60207262
you can set it to autohide so it doesn't take any space
also it's no work at all, if you feel like you need to work around it you are doing something wrong

>>60207278
It doesn't autohide for me unfortunately, I probably have some script that conflicts and I'm not even going to begin to try to figure out what. By work I just meant the whole organizing into trees thing. I have 354 tabs now and it seems like a lot of unnecessary micromanagement for things that I'm not trying to archive for life or display to others. Thank you though

>>60205779
ENTP, if you even buy into that MBTI stuff. That's why.

>>60205779
i do this but it's easier to keep track of on firefox, i usually have upwards of 150 tabs on my browser of stuff i wanna go back to later. a couple of my friends have the same habit.

and hey, just like >>60207338 said: mbti tests say im an ENTP.

Depends, if I'm looking for something, I might have a lot of tabs open, but mostly 3-7

I keep tabs open on my phone for things I want to read later. On a PC or laptop though, I usually close them out when I'm done using it.

>>60207466
That's just firefox on my desktop. I have a laptop I use at school and my phone as well. All together I'd guess I was over 2000 tabs before friday

When I reply to a thread I leave a tab open so I can check back later for (you)s. Sometimes I reply to someone who replied to me 8+ hours later.

When I google something I'll open new tabs on several links.

I'll often have one tab of a video running in the background.

I also have the tabgroups add-on for firefox so I further separate my tabs. I'll have a tab-group for school-related things, my main group, my porn group, etc.

No normalfags usually use very few tabs and have to keep going back and fourth, constantly reloading the page.
It drives me fucking nuts every time.

>>60207515
this
most of the time, from what i've seen, they just neglect to close things, often they don't even have the browser set to keep the session, so the next time they open their browser, it's all gone, and they expect this

The absolutely perfect way to solve this problem is the "tab groups" (aka "panorama"), which allows you to sort your tabs into different groups as if they were on separate windows, but on a single one.
Too bad the cunts at Mozilla had to ruin everything as always, so they literally removed it from Firefox, and now we have to rely on a third party addon (which adds some nice features but is buggy and slow compared to the old native feature).

BUT THAT'S NOT ENOUGH.

Mozilla wasn't happy with letting us use addons to replace features that they removed, so they decided to completely scrap the current addon system in favor of a handicapped one like on Chrome, so when the change goes into effect, most of the main addond that make Firefox worth using will not only stop working, but they'll be completely impossible to implement with the new system, and Tab groups is one of them.

Bookmarks can be nested in folders, so just make a new folder for each project and delete the folder if you want when you're done, or move it to a "completed projects" folder

it has a lot to do with my low attention span, I will look at something half way through then mark it for later viewing, or not look through it at all

>>60205779
High power users do that. At any time I have about two hundred tabs open. Three way it's gotta be.

I regularly have 100-200 tabs open. As I find things I want to learn more about I open them in a new tab, leave them there until it builds up then spend most of a day reading through them all, then clear it and start again.

>>60208826
4c/4t + 8gb RAM should handle that. Unless it's some C2Q tier shit with DDR2.

>>60205779
I have 12 tabs open cuz I'm lazy but only

But Palemoon will be always "knockoff Firefox", and will never have any chance at becoming a serious player. Especially now that normies rule the Internet and Chrome is a competitor.

>>60208487

I bet half of those tabs are old 4chan threads that you refuse to close for some reason

pretty much my entire family only browses with a few tabs and actually alternating between them on a constant basis

I keep tabs open for months, and when it gets the point where I probably should close some, I copy all the URLs into a word doc and name it like tabs or tabbbss or taabbbsss or some stupid shit.

Got 70 tabs open on my main browser, 2nd browser has about 20 research articles I want to but will never read, 3rd browser about 20 of programming stuff and stuff I want to buy/download but haven't gotten around to hunting them down.

I used to only have like 8 tabs max on one browser only and life was easier then. But now I don't know what I'm doing or what happened to me. I've rechecked them several times and I don't want to close any.

My laptop is also in a similar state.

>>60209499

Since I've started using vertical tabs I constantly have like a hundred tabs open all the time

>>60208487
oh yes
I must have around 10k tabs in half a dozen profiles

the problem is that while Opera added tabs in the 90s other browser devs still hasn't caught on. the usual response to "I have >= 2 tabs open" is "don't do that". this thread is full of such retards.

>>60209855
It's not like you're using all those tabs at once, I would keep most of that in my bookmarks toolbar until I reopened them. Removing a bookmark is just an extra click to closing a tab.

>in place of bookmarks for things i do remember, but return to, my history is used
I do have a lot of bookmarks for this since I keep clearing my history. But I keep those in a folder in the bookmarks menu.

Tabhoarding is a disease.

>>60210599
i used to use bookmarks like that, like 15 years ago when browsers/computers couldn't handle doing anything else

leaving things i'm not done with in the vertical tab list is simply more convinient, and they take little resources when unloaded

>>60210599
>>60210665
oh, and i prefer not to erase my history
my memory isn't THAT good that i can find everything on my own, i search my history with keywords i do remember. i don't often actually open the history browser itself though

I had 60 tabs open for a long while, I have more like 50 now.

>>60206773
Mine is from March 2016.

>>60212373
how do you check?

My cure for tab hoarding:
1. Use a text file for permanently storing links.
2. Use bookmarks for temporary link storing (bookmark folders help a lot in properly organizing them).
3. Force myself to always have 0 tabs when i end my browsing session: move all my tabs to a bookmark folder and at the end of the week decide which bookmarks get deleted and which go to the text file for permanent storage.
4. If you end up getting more than 1k links in your text file you should start using a wiki. If you will properly organize it, it will literally feel like a mental highway when you will start your browsing through it.

>>60209278
I use Firefox Nightly and it's been gone for years. There is an addon that works fine.

>>60206745
You're close. What this means is that the stuff on the desk is to be done in the short term and records of it are not needed, so there's no point putting it in the filing cabinet.

Many of my tabs are articles I plan to read and close. Bookmarking them would be stupid.

>>60205779
I usually have like 30 tabs open. I don't want to reopen shit all the time and bookmarking everything is annoying when I can just not close the tab until I know I won't need it anymore. An icon is enough to know what tab that is, my memory is not that bad.

>>60206745
There's too much overhead involved in bookmarking and keeping bookmarks organized to make a lot of things worth bookmarking. Organizing those fuckers is enough of a pain in the ass already, no need to bookmark something I'm going to delete in a couple of days anyway.

I think this situation could be improved with improvements to bookmark management tools. The managers in all major browsers have barely changed since the Netscape 3.x/4.x days, leaving lots of little problems unresolved.

>>60208823
Or I can do even less and simply leave the tab open until I'm done with it.There is literally no reason not to other than the fact that it bothers you, which really isn't a reason at all.

I use separate windows per subject, each with as many tabs as they need unless it gets unmanageable at which point I branch out a new window for the "subtopic". All these windows are, of course, managed with i3's tabbed mode, spread across different workspaces after their broad category or topic.

I normally have 50 tabs open or so. I just don't feel like closing things and cmd-I is a lot harder to press comfortably than just cmd-t

This. Fucking this.

When faggots bitch and moan about firefox or any other browser crashing/being slow it's really because they have a fucking shitload of tabs open at a time. They just fail to mention this detail when they're complaining and then blame it on the browser.

People ARE just fucking morons who can't organize or be bothered to use bookmarks.
I have zero sympathy for retards like these when their browser fucks up because of their shitty habbits.

have the you seen the desktop of a normal fag?
>clutter of shortcuts of oem software they never use

it's no surprise

I can't stand having any tab open that I don't actually plan on returning to within the sitting.

Most people in general are messy.

I think its important to differentiate between the average /g/ user and norimes.

While browsing habits vary for /g/ users, its likely that the majority of people either organize tabs properly either by using tab groups or vertical tabs, or go with bookmarking as well as those that go with 2-6 tabs, and only closing/opening new stuff once they are finished.

Normies tend to have minimal attention for a certain thing, thus constantly opening new things, some of which they might not even get back to. Normies stopped using bookmars around 2007-2010 when tabbing became mainstream without realizing that tabs serve a completely different purpose to bookmarks.

There's also the phsycological effect of more tabs = more productive, but that obviously doesn't apply to everyone.

Edge browser added a temporary bookmark feature in the newest win10 update. It allows you to take a "snapshot" of all current tabs and save them temporarily in a group.

That makes sense, when you close the browser that means you finished with it, if you want to "resume a session" why not keep the browser open.

I woudn't be sad bad If I didn't leave sad panda tabs open all the time, I take forever deciding if I want to favorite a work sometimes so I just leave open hundreds of tabs open in fourt, five windows from Firefox and Chrome for months on end

I believe so. It's not done in my computer bc it's a toaster, and that also has helped on keeping things clean and organized. Having multiple seems inefficient.

You make a good point, but consider how diferent things were at the time compared to now.
At that time web browsers were largely an enthusiast thing, and "nerds" ruled the industry.
A company had to convince them to use their product, so it was easier to get tech-oriented people to try a new browser.
Especially since IE wasn't that great.

Now companies have to convince normies instead, and even having the browser with the best features and performance doesn't matter when you have sleek looks, ease of use, and most importantly, the huge marketing potential of having your browser advertised on the Google homepage (and on all their services).

Mozilla themselves don't have a chance against that (so they're pathetically trying to copy Chrome as an attempt to emulate its success), so Palemoon is basically DOA, because it will never get the normie crowd, and will never get a chance to have any meaningful marketshare (and the consequent meaningful funding).

>>60223539
i see your point, i don't expect palemoon to take over the market
but does it need to?
i mean, Opera hasn't really been at the top of anything since the 90's, not including opera mini/mobile, which has had it's share of fame
yet it, well it was a great browser at least until it folded and moved to being another chromium, at least so i hear, as i haven't used opera since 9.6

all i really care about is what works for me, if palemoon get enough attention to remain functional on the web, i'm happy
continued addon development targeting palemoon would be nice, too, too early to see what's going to happen, there, though

I usually have around 1000 tabs open at all times, older firefox version had an annoying memory leak that would render the browser unusable after a few hours, even if the tabs were restored and "unloaded"

current nightly seems to have fixed it and not causing the memory leak anymore, I kept a firefox instance running for one whole week without restarting it with barely any slowdown

Bookmarks and / or loads of tabs are for:
tech illiterate retards

Any sane person uses a tab manager.

I have probably a couple hundred tabs open now on my main browser, same on my laptop and around 50 on my secondary browser. Most aren't loaded because decent browser, but it's still too much for my tastes.

The problem is, all those tabs are something that
a) I should either be bookmarking, which takes a long time since I have to figure out the best place to put them
b) I should quickly read through, absorb any info, and close or possibly bookmark
c) I should keep around for a while since it will become relevant in the future

I haven't had the energy to go through the archival and reviewing of all those tabs, and I constantly get new ones. There's really nothing I can do about it, just bookmarking everything in the same place isn't an option since that would mess up my bookmarks and hide away the tabs that need reviewing.

>>60223853
I agree, and if that works for you, then perfect.
For me though, as long as I'll have to use Windows, I'd rather use something by a company that can easily and quickly fix bugs and any security problem as soon as it comes to light.
I just wouldn't have the peace of mind with something not made by a big company.
Does Palemoon have a similar budget to Opera?

Also, is Palemoon as stable as FF? I have a lot of addons (which I would use on PM, since it would be the very reason why I'd switch) and FF works decently with them. Would PM be as stable?

>>60225630
Just do 5-10 a day.
Forget if you make more tabs a day than that. That is not important.

Pick 5-10 random tabs.
Take a quick look at the URL or page contents.
If you cannot think of a category for it in 5 seconds, put it in the _unsorted folder.
The _ will keep it on top of alphabetical ordered menus, it is something I tend to do a lot for special folders that require attention.

Every 10 times you do this, review 5 random links in your _unsorted list.
Take a good look at the page.
Still can't think of a category?
Is it actually worth keeping if you can't think of one? Yes?
Put it in Misc. (or Other, Random, Nonsense if you prefer)

Problem solved.

You guys at least close the 4chan tabs when the thread dies?

I just save all my unused tabs in my "to see" bookmark folder, and if they're high-priority things I have to watch as soon as possible, I put them in a new folder called something like "TO SEE ASAP" that's in front of everything so I can constantly see it and not forget.
Needless to say I never open it, and when there's a new "unfinished" session I just make another folder called "TO SEE RIGHT AWAY", and so on, until my bar is full, so I group them all into one folder and start over.

This has been going on since 2011, and the bookmarks to see alone are well over 100k, not to mention the pages saved in my RSS readers, which are around 20k, and the URLs saved in .txt files around my hard drives, which would be around 2/3k.

I need help.

>>60205935
Look into tab stacking with Vivaldi

>>60226612
Forgot to mention all the bookmarks that aren't from browsing sessions, which I could save in my folder system for easy retreival, but I'm too lazy so I just click on the star and save them in my unsorted folder (which only contains stuff I deemed high-priority at the time I've saved them), which ATM counts 6056 bookmarks.

My places.sqlite file is 50MB and half the time I open Firefox it takes longer than usual and opens with no favicons and some bookmarks are gone because Firefox makes a new places.sqlite file with the info it can gather, then renames the old one in places.sqlite.corrupt which works fine if renamed back, but it doesn't usually have the last changes, so every time I open Firefox I have to run a script that copies the files into a temporary folder, so if my bookmarks get corrupted I can copy my stuff back and restart Firefox hoping they don't get corrupted again.

I do this.
Usually have around 25 or more tabs open. It got so bad that I had to upgrade from 8gb to 16gb of RAM, since Chrome was using all of it and I couldn't run anything else. I'm at 32gb now.

Got 60 tabs on my phone.

We used multiple windows as tabs.

>>60205935
This, tree style tabs for Firefox allow you to effectively hide and manage everything so navigation through 2000 tabs is easier than bookmarks.

>when i end my browsing session

My browsing session never ends.

I do not save any history so my oldest tab is as old as the current session I am on.

However sometimes I will be researching something and open multiple tabs at once.

When programming I might have 30 tabs open from stackover flow or tutorials point to solve the problems I am looking for.

What addon is that?

>>60226612

Visit all sites and save them locally on your HD.

Try to make a decent folder stucture WITHOUT a "miscellaneous" folder.

Websites should only be saved in the last folder.

There shouldn't be more then 5 subfolders in each folder.

For example:

I. Computers
-programming
--web
---languages
----JS
------Node.JS

II. Real life activities and hobbies

III. Rare Pepe faces

>>60229596
Saving them locally would take years.
I already save all the vitally important ones (either locally or on online archives).

I'd rather just organize my bookmarks and see the pages from there, which is what I already do, but I procrastinate too much, so the new bookmarks I constantly add end up outpacing those I organize (let alone those I see and then remove).

I do exactly the same thing. I'm trying to improve and only focus on tasks at hand but I find myself bookmarking into huge folders and returning literal years later.

plebs itt

>>60233392
I fucking forgot you can pin tabs.

Mind you, I mostly only ever pinned my shitty custom homepage and gmail most of the time when I did it.
But I replaced all of that with Tabs Outliner.

I kinda want to rewrite it at some point.
Main idea being able to permanently tag a tab entries default URL, and make it ALWAYS close to it.
So say you had Gmail tab open and browsed various emails, then closed the tab, it will open back to the default Gmail view.
Or you had a discussion board open and went in to a thread or various pages deep, close and re-open will go back to the frontpage.
If I want to preserve pages as a child node by default, need to set that on a per tab-group basis.
Would improve things considerably. Might even suggest the developer add it as a feature .

it's a "power user" thing -- someone who's more comfortable than the average normalfag, but they'still not particularly good with using or understanding computers

although normalfags will leave dozens of tabs open in mobile browsers

>>60205779
depends

my notepad++ has had about 60-80 tabs open for months or years now (pic related)
but my browser generally doesn't get clogged up with tabs unless I'm looking for hentai, I'll just open a new window and close the tab-ridden one if it gets too bad and I forgot why I had all that shit open (often, I'm looking through documentation).
I'll usually have like 5-10 tabs open for any extended amount of time.

>>60207500
this is probably the only reason browser tabs accumulate at all for me
shit, I've left some tabs waiting for (You)s for days (and eventually got replies)

Nigger I barely have 20k but they're all neatly organized.

Sometimes I review them all and re-organize or delete some if they are of no use anymore.

No. In fact, it's normalfag not to do it: it means all you care about is facebook and you don't actually use your browser for anything meaningful. If you did, you'd know bookmarks are a joke in this era of fully-dynamic cancersites with inviolable redirects and page history rewriting.
