#Safari save tabs on exit windows#

First, bookmarks - if you bookmark something and close the tab, the bookmark stays there forver. It clearly has no benefit, but you're afraid or unwilling to close it (I use 'you' in the general sense not indicating you, tobr, specifically) Even when it makes finding other tabs unusually difficult, you still do not close it. Even when it is obvious you will never need it, you still don't close it.

You might need that tab in the future, so you don't ever close it. If I have more than a few open, I inherently think I am doing something wrong and go to clean it up.įrankly, I've always viewed the 'hundreds of tabs open' as a sorta hoarder mentality.

#Safari save tabs on exit windows#

I have the same habits in my IDE and Finder windows and iTerm and Sublime (which I mostly use as a scratchpad). I open a tab, look at it, close it, rinse and repeat. On my personal machine, I'd be surprised if I ever get above 5 non-pinned tabs open. If I see I have more than ~10 open, I purge them of all but the pinned tab(s) and maybe the left most 2-3 which is generally where I keep the tab I for the ticket I am actively working on. I personally close tabs as soon as I'm done with them. I don't care, this works, and nothing else compares. I don't get why people keep trying to tell others that their workflow is bad ('horrifying') and they should feel bad. Related tabs are clustered together in the list, I know approximately where things are in the list, I have two different search tools (% search and Tab Center Redux' own search box). I have many years worth of state here, and if I didn't have this I don't see why I would even bother using a browser. Of course this is on firefox, and total suspender makes it easy to keep resource usage low. It's like searchable, zero-effort bookmarks with state (including page scroll location) saved. I have a tab for every webcomic I follow, a tab for every news page, a tab for every package that's on its way to me. I have a tab open for every dependency of every project I do, including one for every component of every electronics project I maintain. I don't see how this is horrifying at all.
