Oddbean new post about login | logout What do other people do, when you've got more browser tabs open than you can navigate around, yet you don't want to close any of them? #asknostr
One tab at a time. So basically no tabs at all. Sorry.
You are a literal Jedi
If only you knew lol https://m.primal.net/LLOI.jpg
Sometimes I accidentally close the whole browser and immediately realize I had pages open that I didn't bookmark and don't know if I'll find them all again.
Story of my life 😂😂 When my computer protests by finally slowing down, I’ll either x out of the entire window in a moment of rashness, or if there is stuffI really need I either bookmark it, or just make a note and then restart my computer to give the poor thing a break 😅
Close them and stop spreading my attention so thin
Some browsers like edge allow you to group tabs. It's like competing several tabs in one, and expanding them later when necessary.
You might be able to create a bookmark group from open tabs.. And open all at. Once next time? But seriously, just don't 😂 it drains the ram and mac is under rammed already!
"Open link in new window"?
I do that on my 27” desktop, but it’s less effective for me on my laptop with its smaller screen.
You don't have to have both windows on the screen at the same time. The 2nd window provides more space for the tab titles. Just Alt-Tab to switch from looking at one window of tabs to the other.
Bookmarks?
I’ve got folders and folders of bookmarks, each folder has pages and pages of bookmarks. Last time I checked my bookmark folder hierarchy went at least 8 layers deep 🤣 I’ve moved to notes to store them 🤣 Thanks for trying to help tho 🙏

If only Virgil were around to guide me 😩
He’s here. Even though I hate this depiction. https://image.nostr.build/fb3ce2e312b4fe96fd8159a63fd97eab26a1a473e79a0b9af4b93f270fec4cd6.jpg
Yeh, it is a weird statue!
Very beta male. HATE IT.
Yeah, I’m not keen on it. Kind of a mashup between the silver surfer and Christian Bale, but worse. The only artistic concept I like is the mirrored surface which reflects your face when you look at it. Meant to echo that “we are all Satoshi.”
Geez that’s rough, do you really need all that information?
Yeh, what did brain smarts ever do for us? 😂

So what I do day to day: Brave browser has a search tabs function, at least on mobile. I make tons of use out of that. What I do from time to time (more seldom than I should): Go through all my tabs, close ones I really no longer need (always surprised how many of those there are), and send the URLs of the rest to myself in Signal. I miss having a really good bookmarks system, but lost momentum a couple computers ago; besides, I now have three devices to coordinate across, and I like being able to use Signal’s searchable Note to Self on all of them.
Never really started using Signal. I have it installed, so I’ll check it out, thanks. 🙏 Also I’ll se your stats and raise you 😂 https://i.nostr.build/eCUjitR0XosKGkNn.jpg
Signal was much better when SMS was enabled. Now that I have more contacts on Signal than when it did work with SMS, I probably send fewer Signal messages than before, because Moxie in his infinite wisdom decided to segment my messaging. As it if wasn't bad enough to sacrifice security by publishing in the play store (an effective rootkit). Curious what it took to break him.
Depends on the browser. If Safari, I sometimes start fresh by going to each tab and close after saving the Reader View version to iBooks or Files as a pdf, and then read them on a slow weekend or during a vacation by the pool. If Duck Duck / Firefox, I do the same but hit Ctrl+P and then Save as PDF.
Vertical tabs come in handy for readability. Also, separate browser windows for different sets of tabs. With different workspaces/virtual desktops if it's really unwieldy. Though more often I go 'time to make some bookmarks and close some tabs.'
