Why does a tab need to be open for this though? For me, the point of open tabs is that I know what they contain and can switch between them quickly with a quick click. Having to search for them defeats their purpose.
- Manishearth 9y agoIn my case I don't have to search for them, they're pretty well organized by related topic. I can switch pretty quickly, and sometimes need to do a tab search when context switching to another task. The "tab search" is exactly the same effort as opening a new page, in fact, what often happens is I decide to switch to doing something else, and type in the URL bar for history search, and it tells me I already have tabs open for it (which means I also have existing state in those tabs), which is great. I usually know that there's a tab open, but my workflow is the same whether they are or aren't.
