You might still need those tabs though. You probably don't, but you might.

You're right, I don't. And since browsers come with this really neat feature called "history", it's not like I couldn't trivially re-open them again as needed.

It's far easier to have your history cluttered than you might think, and then finding the sites that you need or might need becomes harder.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

Exactly. Whereas my 1000+ semi-ordered tabs are way less cluttered.

Yeah but you might forget that you need those tabs. Maaaybe they weren't that important then, but maybe they are.

I think that "weren't that important" indeed hints at how I keep/toss stuff IRL, too.

I toss a lot of shit. I don't keep stuff around for that one hypothetical use case that might crop up in 5 years. Most stuff sells surprisingly well second-hand, and this frees up a lot of money I had otherwise lying around doing fuck all for me.
