How can you even see the tabs you have open if you have 600+ tabs open that’s insanity. Browsers while leaving that an option where never designed for even viewing that many tabs
While i’m not the person who claimed to have 600+, i’d assume that what they do is a mix of:
-Multiple Windows, so the tabs are spread out. Essentially like having different workspaces in an OS
-using the icons to determine what they are.
And lets never talk about what a browser is designed to do. Because I bet if we went into detail we’d find there’s not a person in this thread using browsers exactly as how anyone intended them to be used, either because technology at the time never made them think it was possible, or because you know, people are different.
Use-cases is like design 101, designing for things you didn’t expect the user to do.
Ofc that is a valid design philosophy but there is a range. At some point it’s like asking your tax software to be a video editor too. Should still probably not be context switching that much mentally. Anyone I’ve ever met who uses lots of tabs is better off with lots of book marks or taking better notes. It’s just silly to have that many tabs open no matter how you spin it
