    1. Bookmark anything important
    2. Delete history and other browser data on close

    I can’t be the only one?

      1. Bookmark anything really important

      2. Hoard stuff that’s really interesting that I’ll get to eventually probably.

      3. Occasionally sift through the tabs to discard outdated stuff.

      4. (optional) Actually get to some of those things I’d get to eventually.

      4 has happened too often for me to discard the system. Tabs are temporary bookmarks so my real bookmark folder doesn’t get swamped with every interesting thing I see.

        Add a step in between where you don’t remember why you decided to left it open, and a final step where you’re sure you had an open tab but you can’t find it.

          Tab groups are my best friend for the last part. I have a perpetual group for ‘gift potentials’, one for recipes, and one for a hobby of mine. Each group has between 5-20 tabs lol

      This is me.

      I have Firefox delete everything besides container URLs, because I don’t want cookie and site data living on my computer. It would be a nice feature, but I’m not going to make a container for every website so they don’t sniff each others cookies like dogs sniff each others asses.

      It depends on what you’re doing. If I’m researching my family tree, I can easily have over a dozen temporary tabs open while I check if someone is actually related to me.

      My family is awkward though, they’ve got names like Thomas Thomas, and named their kids after their siblings >.<
