The lighter side of ADHD
This is a UI problem, not a you or I problem. Browser makers never figured out how to do bookmarks properly, so tabs became a bad reinvention of bookmarks.
Look at how some students work with their textbooks: they fill the book with tons of little sticky bookmarks, colour coded and everything. You can write on them too!
That's why I use Vivaldi. Between its workspaces (different books) I can have the relevant tabs and tab stacks for when I eventually need them because I'll never find them again or remember them in some bookmark tool. They also have tab memory management so anything I haven't opened in x amount of time, the process is killed so my browser doesn't implode.
A hint that it’s time to install a second web browser.
And have another 500 there until the third one.
Maybe the new one will respect real-world use cases and not enforce such silly limitations just because the developers got lazy
There's a limit?
Well, is it?
Is it safe to eat blood curd?
Don’t leave us hanging.
Just looked it up, the change of gagging and vomiting seems real. Not sure if it's safe though.
Someone has an astronomical amount of RAM. Clearly, this is from the distant past.
Well this looks like an iOS screenshot so not THAT much RAM lol
But also I'm pretty sure after some inactivity the tabs get unloaded from RAM. Also whenever you close the browser.
This is correct, this is why pretty much every tab you go back to in Safari will need to reload first. It only keeps the thumbnail.
This is why I use Firefox focus, just purge it all each time, I can't stand the tabs
My dumbass clicked on the picture and kept trying to use the menu.
i like and feel slightly judged by the fact that firefox will just use the ♾️ symbol at the 100th tab and stop counting
I like to think of it as the number is too large to be displayed properly because it's 3 digits.
Are we gonna talk about the fact that’s it’s 500 private tabs and only 62 regular tabs
I default to private tabs so the tabs dissapear whenever i close firefox.. 500 private tabs means OP never closes its web browser?
Is it safe to eat blood curd? We're gonna need another tab to find out
This is the one flavor of ADHD meme that completely baffles me. On desktop, the second my tabs start getting squished down, I have to pare it back down. On my phone, I'm less diligent, but if I'm approaching double digits, I zero it all out. Feels like it's a holdover from growing up with crappy computers.
I really dislike using a browser on my phone. I have Firefox always set to auto delete everything when I close it. Mobile browsing is only to check quickly a link when my computer isn't around. If it needs more thought or it needs to be bookmarked, I send it to myself on Signal and open it on my computer.
And on my computer, I have Firefox autodelete all site data and history on close. But I have a shit ton of bookmarks organised into folders. Also, I just can't deal with having too many tabs open. The moment I start needing to scroll the tab bar, I look at what I can close.
Currently at 666 (nice) tabs on my phone... I've gone through a few times closing some but apparently not enough lol
I'm coming back for them. Just like all the posts I save so I can read them later.
Auto tab closing after a month is so good. You have a searchable history after that, use it 🙂
Except that doesn't work when you have memory issues that mean you have to see the thing to remember it
Yeah because you are seeing 500+ tabs.
