I was really dreading moving the 200+ tabs I have open in 3 different windows from my old laptop (Miss Sakamoto) to the new one (Caroline4Five2). Mozilla Sync would allow me to get a list of them all, and open them... *one at a time*.

Solution: use Bookmarks > Bookmark All Tabs and create 3 temporary "folders" in my bookmarks, for each window. Sync from Miss S.

Then sync on Caroline, open a new window, and "Open All in Tabs". Presto!

Mashable: Google Chrome is testing a big change to tabs. “Google’s flagship web browser is getting a new feature that people already love in other browsers — vertical tabs. The new tab feature is available now as part of the Chrome Canary experimental build for developers, per Windows Report.”

gHacks: Firefox users say that Smart Tab Grouping is using too much CPU, battery. “Mozilla released Firefox 141 last month, and with it came an AI-powered feature to organize tabs. Now, Firefox users are saying that the feature is causing high CPU usage.”

One discipline people in tech world need more then anything is to close the F**** tabs in their browsers.

Why:

• Frees RAM so we do not all pretend we "need" 128 GB machines.

• Lets you actually run that local LLM or your music player or Adobe or Oracle products (you do you). For the pentesters this free's up more ram for Burp to eat and not burp :P

• Lowers cognitive load.

• Ends the guilt of the tab you have ignored for six weeks.

Solution:

• Close the damn tab.
• Finished reading it? Close it.
• Not ready to work on it? Do not open it yet.
• Reading later? Bookmark, read‑it‑later app, or let it go.

Set yourself free. RAM returns. Focus returns. Guilt evaporates.

Close the damn tab.

Every day all day I have five different browsers open on my computer, each with its own explicit purpose. Each has an array of tabs that come and go.

In my main browser I opened a second window for some focused work. That has now become a new collection of tabs.

What should I do with the first window, behind the new one?

Engadget: Firefox finally adds tab groups. “Firefox now lets you organize your tabs. Four years after its biggest rivals launched tab groups, Mozilla published a nearly 1,000-word blog post recounting the feature’s long road from user requests to launch. (Consider skipping it if you don’t like long-winded acceptance speeches.)”
