No bookmarks are for things I want to save; tabs are temporary. If I'm reading hacker news, I'll open all the articles I want to read in new tabs (maybe with their comments in yet another tab) and then go through them one at time.
Obviously this is unmanageable in Chrome from the UI but with the right extensions (tab mix plus w/ multi row tabs) in Firefox it's pretty usable.
- Karunamon 9y agoTree tabs are godly for this because it lets you retrace your steps. Say you start on HN and open five articles. You've now got HN/Site1, HN/Site2, and so on. Then you find an interesting link on 3 of those 5 sites. With normal tabbing, you now have 9 tabs open and a majority of the text hidden on one line, where with a proper tree view, you can see the entire site, and how you got there, which is probably more valuable to me than the actual content.
