I never understood the large browser tab list. Though I am the kind of person that typically keeps only one to two buffers open in my editor. I must have a mild allergy to visual noise or something.


Very much the same. I almost never have more than half a dozen browser tabs open. They are always ephemeral. I don't save browser history or cookies either. Dispite all technology advances, a person's short-term memory can still only actively handle to four to seven things at a time. I'm probably on the low side of that. Having 30 browser tabs open is utterly pointless as I won't have any idea what 25 of them are for.
