I didn't think I'd watch someone with 30 tabs open in the same window trying to look for a tab, failing to find it, and then opening the same page in a new tab, but I did and it was very uncomfortable to watch.

I assumed that people with 20+ tabs open in the same window might simply have some different way of organising or remembering them that I didn't understand, but I'm starting to think they don't.

what you saw was a fool suffering from skill issue that doesn't represent the broader 'has dozens of tabs open at any given time' community. now with mozilla AND chrome both having tab groups, and function to type stuff in that link in the bar and getting 'switch to tab' if match, shouldn't happen

then they are double fools. they should be able to find stuff they have open on their computer even with 100 tabs. they should know each tab, or at the very least every thematic tab group bunched together, like they do their own children only exception is stressful deadline moments that don't...

allow for the calming ritual of ordering your 80 tabs thematically at a recent point in the week I find papers I shared in my twitter account literally 10 years ago (recently a multivitamin vs insomnia paper) even if having stuff in zotero is better, you better believe I know my open tabs

Wait, you have your children bunched together as thematic tab groups?
