Same, but they have sentimental value! They were there with me when Covid started. It would feel like a betrayal to get rid of them now.

In a way, closing those tabs would almost be like urinating on a cenotaph.

Show some respect.

I have an extension that closes any tab I haven't looked at in half an hour and adds it to a list; without it my tab hoarding gets really out of control.

Ooh, what's that called? An automated bookmarking function sounds awesome!

olive.computer•169 days ago

I believe Tab Wrangler is the one I use!

Thank you!!

I move all my tabs persisting after a month into a bookmark folder named after the month. So when I feel like it I can time-travel and batch open all tabs from February 2019 when I was obsessing over quark dumplings, pinball machines and Eugenio Montale.

The key moment my life turned around for the better was when I added an extension that closes any open tab after exactly a week

Finally been doing it. For like… 4 days.

Once I left open a tab with an article I wanted to read for so long that the author turned it into a traditionally published book before I got to it.

Stop looking at my screen. It's illegal.

tristanolson.bsky.social•169 days ago

My phone's browser is half tabs that are guides for videogames I stopped playing months, possibly even years ago.

rjs.bsky.social•169 days ago

I have my support browser window for tabs I’m sure I’ll need but it don’t want getting in the way of what I’m currently doing.

Careful, your browser might crash and even with the setting to restart from where you left off, you could lose everything, include your sense of self.

I'm still trying to recover. 😓

"I'll just organize the tabs into groups, that'll be better"

It was not better.
