    You’re on of us then!

    I, and many others, start closing stuff when there’s more than a handful.

    Others, like many, just run then forever and ever. A sea of icons, tiny and compressed. Worrying they’ll lose that tab they really like in amongst the clutter. Unaware of the history feature.

      • History shows everything I’ve ever been to including the “nope that top result in my search engine actually didn’t contain the search string anywhere in its contents and is thus useless to me.” pages
      • Bookmarks are for things I routinely go to for years
      • Tabs are useful results for the projects I’m working on now.
      • Pinned tabs are the pages I visit multiple times a day.

      None of those is a substitute for any other.

      I’m aware of the history feature. It doesn’t do what you seem to think it does (keep a tab in suspension in an easily accessible location over multiple hours or days of browsing).

      Now, the OneTab extension? That’s actually suitable for this purpose. History doesn’t do what it does.

      I can’t stand having more than maybe 5-6 tabs open. As the poster above stated, it just gives me anxiety to have random tabs open. I get disoriented trying to figure out what my focus is in a sea of tabs.

      Exactly, and if its important you just bookmark it.

      I tend to shorten my bookmarks to just a space so in practice they are just a row of tiny icons anyway. They are always at the same spot and only take resources when needed.

      I would love a vertical bookmark sidebar but for some reason we have to reinvent the wheel with tabs.
