This seems like a natural step forward in the browsing experience, and I for one am looking forward to it. But, at the same time, doesn't it look like tabs are starting to step into the domain of bookmarks more and more. What is the difference between an old group of unread tabs and a standard bookmark folder?
The problem I see with this is performance. Currently, Firefox tends to get really slow on Linux with multiple tabs open.
- Qz 16y agoHere's a hint: there's no difference between bookmarks, open tabs (read or unread), and page history.
- jfields 16y agoThere is a very big difference to those of us who don't have persistent Internet connections. Because of a rather unique social situation, I spend a lot of my time house-sitting at the home of a family member who died recently. I have DSL at my own home, but that place has nothing except electricity, water, and gas. The result is that I tend to grab a large number of pages from my home connection on my laptop, keep them as open tabs, and read through them when I am away from home. An RSS reader like Brief (a Firefox extension) is also useful for this method of short-term information storage. My conclusion: an open tab (or a page successfully saved to disk) is something you can use whenever you want, but a bookmark is something you can only reach when you are connected to the Internet.
