Different people are different. When researching a question without a direct answer, it's more effective for me to open up tabs as I read a page and then search the most likely candidate. Whenever I reach a dead-end I can just switch tabs as opposed to pressing the back button N times. zzalpha's comment sums it up nicely: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14824086 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14824086
I know I'm a power user, but I miss how effective old Chrome was at this.
- meowface 9y agoI'm a chronic tab abuser as well, often with over 100 tabs at once. 1000 tabs still sounds insane to me.
- TheGrassyKnoll 9y agoWell, I'm running 600+ in Firefox for no particular reason. I guess that makes me only 60% insane.
- julian_1 9y agoThe same approach works well for forum discussions. One tab representing the forum, and child-tabs to track the comments section. For instance with HN, tabs provide quick navigatable references back to discussions that are relevant to my interest, and that might contain lead-off liks/references after they have fallen off the front-page.
