At work i force myself to shutdown Chrome daily to prevent tab bloat.
Home is another story. I've got two instances of chrome open, split screened on my 24" monitor. I constantly bounce back and forth between the two while pages are loading or watching youtube in one while surfing in the other. I haven't seen favicons in weeks and frequently resort to Ctrl+Tab and Shift+Ctrl+Tab for navigating because the tabs are so small.
It's bad, some of them are for things I read two months ago and wanted to reference to code something but then lost interest. Can't stand to close them though cause I might just find the interest and time again and then wonder where that page was.
Bookmarks are never looked at, i have a very strong out of sight out of mind mentality.
I cry on the occasions that Chrome crashes and for whatever reasons the session can't be restored. But I purposely don't have any extension to save tabs. It's my forest fire, a destructive but necessary part of the process.
- julianpye 13y agoPyrodogg, we need to talk about your tabs :) I have tabs out of 100% the same reasons as you, however I try to save my sessions with Session Buddy, but I kind of like your forest fire attitude. Sounds cleansing.
- eitland 13y agoAlternative solution is to use pinboard extension, save tabs from one window as a tab set, give it a meaningful name including todays date and feel good about closing it because you can always get the context back. In reality I guess you will never returning to it though ;-)
