Comment on Why do some people have so many tabs open on their browser?

  This. If I spend the time organizing them, I’ve spent more time on the tab than I originally wanted to, but didn’t end up taking care of what the original reason I have the tab opened was.

  Yep, same. I should research solutions to this problem with a bunch of new tabs.

  In my case, bookmarking things is something I do to remove it from my sight and memory, but not lose it entirely.

  Bookmarks bar.

      There’s no reason not to use it instead of having a million tabs open.

        Bold of you assume that it is not being used.

    Same problem as bookmarks.

  I want to ask genuinely, how is the bookmark different than a tab with tab grouping in this instance? I have the bookmarks bar always visible, and have folders organized on the main bar (rather than the drop down extended bar). Wouldn’t tab grouping do the same thing, just slightly higher?

    It probably is functionally not too different. I have the bookmark bar open but I mostly have all the sites I regularly go to there. Additionally, I have thousands of bookmarks from many years so wading through them for something I briefly saw and was interested in last week but can’t remember enough detail on to find isn’t very fun or easy. And where do I look for it? One bookmark could be categorised in many ways so I also have to remember where I saved it. Tags are good but I have too many for that to be very useful or quick.

    I do use grouping as well, and I really like it, but this just causes me to have even more tabs because there is less pressure to trim down the endless list since I can hide them.
