I knew I smelled a rat. Not clicking FTW.

Firefox crashed. Isn't the first time it did that. But this time it crashed so hard it wiped the entire session of 40+ tabs, some of which went back months. So that's fun, also a possible reason to get myself a new browser.

It was originally a legit link but we've been subjected to bait and switch (which the original poster exacerbated by not noticing).

entire session of 40+ tabs

Why.

Why.

Oh please, that's baby mode. If I have fewer than 200 tabs up right now I'll be amazed.

Why?!

Mostly stuff I'd planned on getting back to eventually, references I couldn't be bothered to sort out at the time. Things that didn't really warrant a bookmarking but were still something I'd hate to forget entirely.

And now I'm wierded out by how empty my navbar is :V

Interesting stuff comes across my attention. I open a tab to keep tabs (heh) on it.

Various fanfiction. Wiki pages. Art. Useful threads. Webcomics. How-to guides. Game websites. Manga. Mods. Let's Plays. I go through and trim things down a bit sometimes but there's always more to look at.

Basically this. Stuff to remember, but not really worth bookmarking.

But why months tho

[Sirus]

Because stuff keeps getting updated.

[Reelya]

Zillions of tabs sounds like a crap content management system however, what do you just ctrl-tab through 200+ things sequentially and hit refresh constantly?

[overseer05-15]

If its worth keeping around for months its probably worth bookmarking

[Reelya]

Aggregator sites and RSS feeds are the way to go. comic-rocket.com for comics for example: basically shows you what web comics you're reading have new pages out automatically.

Feedly for news feeds etc. Saves looking at dozens of different information feeds and podcasts.

But then I'd have to remember and find it later.

I have exactly 45 tabs open.

9 of them are this forum, mostly forum games.
5 are in some way related to Stack Overflow
2 are web comics
18 are related to Terraria
3 are related to X3: Albion Prelude
3 more are related to WH40k orks, for my ork forum game
The last 5 are web fiction that I may or may not want to read at some point.

The number goes up and down over time, but ~50 is fairly normal.
