I don't know about you, but my mobile browser hasn't display the number of open tabs in years because it displays :D (a smiley) if you exceed 99 tabs.
Half of these tabs are work-related, often to-do items, and the other half is things I have yet to read or that I don't want to forget about but was too lazy to create a bookmark. (FWIW, there is no way to store all tabs as bookmarks, unlike in the desktop version of the browser.)
One time, after a crash or accidentally closing all tabs and then restoring them, a toast message showed the tab count and it was around 750 back then. That was 2-3 years ago and I have left more tabs open since then than closed. I'm definitely a hoarder.
- lostlogin 4y agoThis makes me anxious. Aren’t you afraid of data loss? It sounds like you don’t have many problems. I put this in the same mental category as a pc without a clipboard history manager.
- Simran-B 4y agoI sometimes check and close dozens of the old tabs because it turns out that my interests have shifted or that they lost their relevance otherwise. So it wouldn't be much of a loss. Most of the information I could still find again, given that I remember the right keywords. I grew up with an OS clipboard that can hold exactly one item and can perfectly live without a clipboard manager. I guess it's mostly habits?
- coffeeblack 4y agoWouldn’t call it hoarding though. It’s more like leaving mountains of documents and papers on your desk.
- Simran-B 4y agoI do have such mountains, too, plus a random collection of items that keep growing on my desk. Maybe I'm an "unorganizer"?
- cf141q5325 4y agoNot keeping a browser history forces you to at least file them into bookmarks before you close a window. Which forces you to judge what is worth bookmarking and what isnt.
