I’m with you on the functional browser. I switched to Chrome for work because of how it does tab groups natively. I manage around 300 on-prem hosts, and I manage K8s and shit in two clouds, all with a fairly low rate of automation.
So I’ve got tabs open for managing VMWare, Foreman, two monitoring systems, two cloud providers, gsuite, and about eight spreadsheets at all times because that’s how we track assets and do IPAM. That’s like 20+ tabs that I bounce between all day long. I’m not going to use bookmarks to navigate this, I want a max of two clicks to get to the right tab. And so Chrome’s tab groups solve my problem perfectly.
Also, in my defense, since automating things and deploying an ITAM tool is kinda my job, I started here less than a year ago. My predecessors were let go when a new manager came in and found out that the Linux env was ridiculously insecure, and then they refused to make the env comply with some of the most basic security guidelines (like security patching more than twice a year). Then my counterpart left for a better job after three months, so I’ve been left alone to support an infrastructure that’s falling down around itself while also trying to secure and enhance it (i.e. rebuild everything).
