Are you one of those people with a thousand tabs open so the tabs shrink to just the icon? Even in that extreme case, everything is color coded and the URL bar labels it.


Not GP and I rarely get into the thousands anymore but I am clearly of the opinion that computers can remember much better than me.

So many of the things I start looking into starts with a search in a single tab and then every link I ctrl-click during the process ends up in a tree underneath it (yes, I use Tree Style Tabs).

This has a few benefits:

- I can easily see things in context

- when I end up on a particularly useful (or useless) page I can easily see what page linked me there

- I can read the root pages and follow links from every one of them without losing track (the root page is usually a kagi search)

- when I am finished I can either export the whole tree as a nested markdown list (yes, there is a nice TST extension that allows me that, and yes, you read that correctly, it is an extension to an extension) or just close it.
