How do you use 1,000 tabs?

• seba_dos1 7y ago
  With tabs on the side. Some of them are clearly forgotten, waiting for the next whole-window-cleanup, but there are groups of tabs I revisit. Some people organize their tabs into trees; there was also "panorama" feature in the past; however, for me it seems like a scrollbar (with a filtering search bar) is enough. Also, the awesomebar itself has excellent support for switching between open tabs.

    This does not really work if you multi monitor, because that way you get separate trees for each window. Or is there a plugin that gives the same tree in multiple windows?

      Dunno, I don't use any trees - just a list of tabs on the side (Tab Center Redux). I usually use the browser only on one monitor while having something else on the other, and even if I do have two windows, this doesn't seem to be a problem for me in practice.

    I use Tree Style Tab in firefox, I still just can't imagine how 1,000 tabs is usable. How do you organize it? How do you find anything? Why not just google search for it again?

      Do I have to? Most of the time they're invisible behind the scrollbar. When I need something not visible, it shows up in search. Sometimes I only have a vague recollection of what I want to revisit - then just figuring out something that was near it is enough, as after searching and activating some related tab its whole surroundings are now in view again.
