The thing about open tabs is that they are already open, I don't need to do anything to put down the note. And I'd usually need to open the site again to continue working - and often other sites as well (that are now also already open in tabs nearby). So I use them even though I kinda hate them. I just wish I could organize them easier.
A fair point.
For me, I get frustrated with more than a few open.
I work in a legal adjacent field. Lots of research, skipping down rabbit holes. For me personally I find it difficult to see why a tab was open because visually they're all very similar. I need to read and remember the context, by which time I've lost the "working data" I had been juggling.
My thoughts and opinions coalesce more quickly if I'm copying & pasting stuff into my notes as I go anyway.
Everyone needs to do their own thing. Mine is not necessarily better.
