Im sure many of the people on here have the same issue as me of having hundreds of tabs open. I use windows virtual desktops and occasionally even different browsers or profiles to segment further. but that's managing the problem. how do I stop it at its root? What have you guys found that works.
A typical situation unfolds as follows. I open my core set of windows/tabs to do work or personal. then for either scenario i need to go on a tangent but still need the old stuff open for when i need to go back but then i don't finish tangent 1 and then tanget 2 starts ... and then I have 300+ tabs in chrome and 200+ in ff. the only way it resets is when the browser crashes and looses all its data. which is rare but happens. and adding in the virtual desktops compounded the issue, cus ill reserve on desktop for a certain category of stuff then not go back to it for a while and now I'm opening more virtual desktops
I tried One Tab. It seems to work for many people here but for me once in a while it lost all the tabs, which is not acceptable. See, the whole point of OneTab is to free my mind of all anxiety that I might lose a resource that I had discovered and at the same time, free the RAM.
So here is what I use now. This might or might not work for you.
* I use Zim Desktop Wiki to keep track of my important links. I use Zim-Clip extension to save links that I might need long term. I can use an hierarchical structure of any depth.
* I use a Session Manager "MySessions" to save work that I can open again when I come back to it. Typically I work on 4 different projects. Then there is mindless, bottomless browsing :) So each is a different session
* Lean Tab Limiter to control how many tabs are open at any one time
* "Open Tab Count Resurrected" to be give count of number of tabs in current window and total number of tabs across windows.
* Pocket to save links to read that I might not come back for reference
This is what I use to tame the multitabbed monster
