      I will NEVER understand people who have an inordinate amount of tabs open. What could you possibly be doing with 37 tabs, and why do you need to keep them all open?

          I was gonna say “because I’m not with them”, but this is way more elegant and to the point 😁

          I need a way to save the context and mind state when I have multiple related tabs open

          If I bookmark it, I lose track of where, and it falls out of my mind. But if I keep it open, it stays on my mental back burner waiting to be resumed.

          When I do research on a topic, I need to refer multiple links. These links could be from the same article or just learning about the terms. So the tabs proliferate. Maybe there's a better way and people like me should evolve. @paulg - You should write an article on this.
