Since I installed the Tabbrowser Extensions for the best browser ever (Firefox) my browsing habits have changed dramatically. Right now I have two browser windows open. this one, where I write my blog, and a second one, which contains ~60 tabs. Oops. A missimpression.
Actually there are 143 of them, requiring a relatively modest ammount of 400 mb of memory. I'm sure at least some of you have had more than a hundred websites open at a time, but... The more there are, the merrier you are when the BSOD arrives or the browser simply rolls over and dies.
Let's return to the extension. It is totally configurable. For instance usually not all of the tabs are shown, this view is just to show off. Also the tabs have background colors which give you a hint of the time the page was opened. Switching between tabs is very easy - just mouseover them and they change. And the best part is: Session saver. Close Firefox, only to see the closed tabs reopen after you restart. This is so WOW. You can, and should, also make backup copies of tab lists in case the tab state gets corrupted, which happened to me but with a little click now and then...
Oh - another cool thing.. doubleclick on the empty tab area to undo close the last tab... What more could you want..?
This seems to me an excellent way to collect knowledge, and it's what turns me on. It may be just a time-wasting habit since I probably don't get most of the info fed into my brain, but I like the feeling.
Misc facts:
