I read this workflow a lot and it absolutely boggles my mind how people can have some many tabs open. You can’t possibly be able to make sense of all those tabs at once. And if your not using the tab, why not just bookmark it? Seems the only purpose of 100+ tabs is wasting ram.


I have bookmarks, Pocket for "read one day", Raindrop for more advanced "might be useful one day" bookmarks. I still work on multiple projects, for work or personal, more or less simultaneously ( as in the same week(s)), and until I'm fully finished with something i don't close the tabs related to it. Some things just get blocked/stuck/lose their priority, for which case i do the occasional cleaning.

So just the stuff I'm more or less currently on, plus articles to read "soon", plus mandatory work related tabs (Jira, etc.) and it quickly explodes to 10GB+ of RAM.


With a browser that allows customization, you can configure vertical tabs to fill up excess wide screen real estate. Then you can credibly manage dozens of tabs.


I have something like 80 tabs open from my morning alone lol, 30/35 are some bibliography quest about a fairly specific topic, a dozen about the various approaches to fast sin & cos approximations, a few are mails & social networks
