Topic: List your tabs
+Anonymous A — 1.9 year ago #64,655
Welcome to the data mining glowie botnet thread, just thought it would be interesting to see what everyone else has open in their web browsers.
How many tabs do you currently have open?
What websites do you frequently visit every day? Is it 4chan, YouTube, Hacker News, Twitter, Wikipedia, Kiwi Farms, Newgrounds, Discord, Steam… Pornhub?
Are you on mobile or desktop?
Do you ever close your tabs?
What web browser do you use?

way too many to list because I just use tabs instead of bookmarks

I usually write down tabs as plain text with date included like a diary before closing them to preserve history since every browsing session is different, but most of it is too trashy to be bookmarked but I still bookmark any website that can be considered obscure, underrated or interesting (link rot is also common, so it's best to save music, pictures and videos to disk).

I use Firefox because it lets me use heaps of tabs. I probably have 500, 90% which are YouTube videos. I would never close my tabs.

“Think of your browser like an ongoing autobiography” as someone else puts it, our minds are like blank slates since we learn through interactions with the environment, easily molded by the constant barrage of curated content on social media, these narratives can shape our very thoughts, interests, beliefs, and perceptions often subconsciously, even as to alter what products we consume, along with hobbies and activities we choose to engage in on a daily basis, adopting ideas and attitudes without much further questioning of these external influences the more you absorb information from them, or by heavily relying on their platforms and communities. People have become more susceptible to conformity, altering their public behavior and personal political beliefs to fit in with certain groups. This shift is driven by a deep-seated need for validation and the desire to belong to something bigger without being perceived as a disturbance. Within the sense of loss and frustration, there lies an undeniable sense of unrestrained freedom and even relief, which is why you have to learn to let go of things and move on because nothing is forever.+Anonymous E — 1.9 year ago, 8 hours later, 9 hours after the original post[T] [B] #649,536

I have a general use text file where I keep links to youtube music videos that I want to download for later extraction, but other than that it's all just tabs. There's some level of organization to them since I group ones that I use in conjunction together, like discogs and ddl blogs, or various video game wikis.

> Firefox power user keeps 7,400+ browser tabs open for 2 yearsHow come the UI design of web browsers have always stayed the same throughout the years despite the prevalence of tab hoarding among most users? Go ask your friends how many tabs they have open, since I guarantee at least one of them has a lot of tabs open. I think it's time for software developers to rethink the traditional tab layout for browser navigation since its structure is much more complex. I always thought the idea of adding an option to export/import list of tabs as files of (optionally human-readable) raw data would've been a good idea rather than the pre-existing “Bookmark All Tabs…” option since it doesn't take the histories into account for each tab respectively. Imagine needing root privilege permissions just to access gigabytes of RAM data from third-party web browsing apps to read your own tabs, people even take notes within the browser itself so I think it really needs to change, and I wish web scraping and CORS restrictions were less strict so that developers could create more innovative solutions for managing tabs. I'd feel like it would be even more freeing to have workspaces as well so you wouldn't need to worry about polluting your main search history when you can separate them by categories, because private/secret mode is not enough and anti-incognito scripts are being used on certain websites. Web browsing preservation is crucial as the content displayed on the Internet is constantly evolving, with search results, link rot, expirations, and edits frequently altering the information that is accessible; the Internet of today isn't the same as the Internet of like a decade ago or less, it's why shit like the Yesterweb or Wiby exists, so do take notes of how the grand narrative changes every year, observe and document the annual shifts of our society, we can do better than this, nothing should be lost. There are astroturfing organizations manipulating current trends to deceive and gaslight us into believing they have always existed before or always been there, making us think that these artificial new societal norms are not some abrupt, unnatural changes. Take back control of your own personal data, it's not theirs to steal, remove and sell to bad faith companies!

Firefox had a "tab groups" feature that allowed you to organize tabs in a manner similar to what you're calling a "workspace", although I don't think there was separate search histories. It was kind of unintuitive though if you've got a whole bunch of unsorted tabs you're trying to organize you'd just kind of end up scrambling them.

Tab groups are almost worthless, but should stay, they do not solve the hoarding issue, being able to export your tabs would've been better. Seriously, why hasn't that been a feature yet? Are they trying to torture us?
As for workspaces, it's more about separating your work from entertainment, browsing shitposts or pornography, etc., not to have hundreds of workspaces for multiple things, because once you're done, you can just export the timestamped browsing session to save for later and remove the workspace. Why would you just install another browser that's gigabytes in size instead that comes with its own compatibility issues? Such a waste of space.
Admit it, you've been using the web browser every single day more than any other program on your computer, so why should it remain as tortureware? Why can't they let the user have more control? For what reason are their freedoms restricted?
It feels like my browser crashes every time when I find interesting websites and things I've never seen before, then I suddenly forget what the names of those were and can never find them ever again.

I wonder if some it is trying not to 'enable' 'digital hoarders'? Like hoping we just get sick of the disorganized mess and switch to nice clean bookmarks? Because this approach has worked so well for regular hoarders..

On a separate note, I've heard from friends who claimed they were interrogated by their supervisors and nearly lost their jobs due to visiting firearms-related websites.

keep track of? the browser takes care of that. I really don't have to think about it at all, aside from the 5-10 seconds it takes me to locate the tab I want.

Somehow, I feel like I'm not browsing anything interesting if I keep restraining myself to just have a few tabs open (typically between 1 to 5 tabs), it's only when I allow myself to end up around 70 tabs or more where I would then stumble upon something new and noteworthy…

Reasons why I can't immediately close a tab:
I wish there was a web browser to automatically keep track of your browsing where you don't need to be taking notes manually which wastes extra time, doubling the procrastination. Imagine if there was a file format ending with .tab for browsing sessions (see: @651,905 (H)). I still use incognito BTW
- Who is this (Twitter) user? (scrolling through their feed to investigate further)
- I need to watch the entire (YouTube) video from start to finish
- It's a livestream and I don't wanna miss anything (this doesn't apply to me much, I don't like streams in general)
- There's a lot of stuff they've uploaded (e.g. music artists)
- I haven't finished reading the page or watching the series entirely
- How the fuck did I get here that led me up to this point? (history)
- I'm waiting for more posts in that thread (a proper answer, more images, info or news)
- Incomplete tasks with several other tabs open for more information about it that are incomplete per se (researching)
- I need to refer back to it frequently for a project or task (programming)
- I haven't even looked into it yet (saving for later, future reference)
- The website is temporarily down and I can't remember what it was (waiting for connection)
- The recommendations/suggestions are too interesting (exploring, one link leads to another thing, exponentially multiplying more of the similar)
- Online code editor (incomplete WIPs, just save it as a file for fuck's sake)
- Chat room (FOMO (“What are they up to?”), being mentioned by someone, they won't stop messaging me)
- It's an interesting obscure website (I always instantly bookmark these, make sure to archive as well)
- Waiting for “Your download will start in ◯ seconds…” countdowns to finish on file hosting services (is this a dark pattern? I absolutely fucking hate when they do this though)
- Need to stay up-to-date or see more
- It's boring without it (can't ignore, I'd rather have something than nothing)
- It's loading…
