Out of topic - Why people even have all those tabs open? I may have one or two pinned and that's it? Why are you even in "need of organizing tabs"?

- FirmwareBurner 3y ago>Why people even have all those tabs open? IDK, maybe I might have ADHD or something, because I open every interesting link in a tab thinking I'll get back to it soon to finish reading or trying it out, but then never do because in the meantime I discover another more interesting tab, so they keep piling up.
- elektor 3y agoI suffer from the same problem and my new solution has been to install a Firefox extension that, when I have more than 5 tabs open, closes any tabs that’s been idle longer than 5 minutes. I found that with this approach I still get the dopamine hit without getting stuck sifting through 30 articles.
