"read it later" window, sites for research, Slack in the browser, podcasts or music in the background, etc.
I usually don't close my research tabs until I've completed the task I was working on. Not having to worry about memory means I don't have to worry about finding useful webpages again.
- webmobdev 7y agoOk, looks like you all prefer to use the tabs as bookmarks! If I have too many tabs open, I just bookmark and tag the site I still may want to want peruse later, and close the tab.
- SAI_Peregrinus 7y agoBookmarks discard information (history, non-url parameters, parent tab, etc). Often that information is important!
- SkyMarshal 7y agoOpen tabs = bookmarks for unread stuff, basically. Once I’m done, optionally bookmark it if necessary and close the tab. The problem with bookmarks is my list of bookmarks eventually grows even larger than my open tabs, far larger, and stuff just gets lost in there. Once out of site, then out of mind. Leaving it open in a tab I’m more likely to go back and read it when I have time.
- barrkel 7y agoInbox, rather than bookmarks. Bookmarks suggest repeated visits; an open tab is something to be visited at least once, but not known to be worth keeping a link to.
