I can’t speak for anyone else, but I find that my usage of the web is more like a mind map. In other words, a tree or a directed graph. I open a tab to accomplish something. From there, I reach out in some primordial/human-brain breadth first search of links in order to accomplish my goal, branching off of branches and coming back up to some parent only to branch again. For people like me, a linear set of tabs is indeed the wrong abstraction for the way I use the web.

Here's "iLoci", an iPhone app I developed in 2008 that integrated the web browser component and url bookmarks into a mind map or "memory palace" based on the "Method of Loci", that lets you arrange links, pictures, text and other interactive content into an easily editable 2D navigable maps (the gestural equivalent of a network of pie menus): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03ddG3jWF98 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03ddG3jWF98 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Method_of_loci https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Method_of_loci This "MediaGraph" Unity3D app I developed in 2012 also explores the same idea, for arranging and navigating your music collection: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2KfeHNIXYUc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2KfeHNIXYUc
