    Then you’re really not doing that much research. I can easily open 20 to 50 tabs for just one project. I’m not defending leaving them open. I’ve finally started to address the problem by learning how to take notes. I chose Joplin for this.

    Autism/ADHD is a bitch for some things and note taking and writing up research has never just “come to me”.

      I’m autistic as well and having that many tabs open gives me anxiety. I mainly code, and when I find a solution I either bookmark it until I can use it, it I use it and then close it. Maybe not immediately, but I try not to have so many open the broader can’t show them in the tab bar. Because it gets really disorganized after that

        The satisfaction of solving an issue, making a note in comments where the fix/solution/documentation came from, then closing the 20 odd browser tabs and being able to move on is great.

      That is fine, the issue is not having 500+ tabs open, but having 500+ tabs persistantly open between sessions
