I have 14 pinned, those are tools I use at least daily at work.
Add in a page of search results, 3 or 4 of those opened, HN and some article I'm reading during "clear my head" time, and I'm at 20.
I'm usually working on multiple tasks, many of which take multiple days. I have tried to group tabs in windows thematically, but browsers are shit about respecting that (for instance when opening new tabs from other apps).
I'd rather read what's in my tabs than mess around with them, so I tend not to fight it.
- stinos 5y agoI have 14 pinned, those are tools I use at least daily at work. How do you open these pinned ones? I used to do this as well, but since browsers got better at fuzzy matching (or whatever it is called) in the address bar I figured this keyboard-only approach gets me to commonly visited sites faster. Ctrl-T (or Alt-D to reuse current tab), yc, Enter -> I end up on this site.
- aidos 5y agoDo you really need 14 pinned tabs? I use plenty of apps too, but they don’t need to be sitting there all the time. And multiple day tasks, I still can’t imagine why you need all the tabs. For me, I get in, get what I need and get out again.
- _jal 5y agoWell, "need" is a funny word. I guess I don't "need" any tabs, or even bookmarks. I could just type URLs all day and have a very pretty browser. They are things like GHE, monitoring, DNS, our CA. Things I use/change literally every day, some of them I'm in constantly. I don't pin things I don't use all the time. Multiday tasks are typically research-heavy, closing things is equivalent to "loosing my place". I suppose I could use "bookmark this group of tabs", but it hasn't really mattered when I can just... leave them there until I come back.
