Why do people keep lots of tabs open?
I've asked colleagues who keep lots of tabs open why they do it, and the answer they generally give me is so that they can keep track of things. Is this why most people have lots of tabs open?
I often use Cmd+Option+Q to quit my browser, which also closes all tabs. I've never had a problem going back to wherever I need by typing in the address bar. The smart results quickly identify what I need and I select that result from the list (e.g., type the first few letters of a recent Google doc title, and it's there)
Can someone who does like a lot of tabs open explain the benefits?
- stevenhuang 5y agoI think you answered most of that yourself. Why would you close your tabs only to reopen them again?
- interpol_p 5y agoI don't reopen them all. I close all my tabs a couple times a day. The next time I'm browsing I might open something I had open before, but typing 3-4 characters of its title into the address bar and hitting return is quicker than searching for the correct tab to click on
