> 1) if they have that many persistent tabs and actually need (probably the wrong word here) them, how many tabs do they actually close? I don't have any persistent tabs, I can open and close e.g. Gmail whenever I need. Rather these are all tabs related to some project or another that I've been interrupted in the middle. Most of them I just need to copy some definition or idea to e.g. Anki. Others may have lists of potential solutions to potential problems. For instance I know that I have a bunch of tabs dealing with OCR open somewhere - those I just need to copy the URLs and I could then close. I just need a spare week to do all these little things. > 2) Does closing a long standing tab invoke a physiological/emotional response? Haha, no. Some tabs are more important than others, but if they get lost I can move on. I just might need to redo research that I've already done.
