   @blakereid @robin @ntnsndr so, (1) joining tab hoarders anonymous would suggest I think I have a problem, so, nah... and (2) force quit all you want, I've got redundant backups for my tabs, Blake. I literally keep them on multiple laptops.

     @mmasnick @blakereid @robin okay so... Why not just have browser history? I aim to stay between 1-5 tabs open, and they all shut down at the end of a work session. But then anything is super easy to access by just starting to type its name in the URL bar. Up it comes from the history.

     @mmasnick @blakereid @robin and of course Firefox sync keeps my (recent) history synced across devices.

     @ntnsndr @blakereid @robin you don't understand. closing a tab is like throwing it in the trash. The only way I will come across it again to remind me I need it is if it's open in a browser.

     @mmasnick @blakereid @robin but does it spark joy? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marie_Kondo#KonMari_method

     Seriously, though: that is what a to-do list is for. If it is important, suffer the friction of putting it there! That is the persistent memory which makes the RAM of email and browsers zero-able.

     @mmasnick @blakereid @ntnsndr Indeed, it's not a problem, it's just phenotypic thinking. Niche construction for future serendipitous you. The problem is that browsers are terrible at organising information.

     And yeah, an ex once closed a windowfull of tabs like that's a normal thing to do. My backup has been pretty ruthless since 😁

     @boris @ntnsndr @mmasnick @blakereid I don't need a browser to have too many tabs open in Obsidian!

     (Different purpose though, that's not to find again it's just active projects.)

     @ntnsndr @mmasnick @blakereid It sparks joy because you stumble onto things.

     A todo list doesn't work I'll never see it again. I've only driven tab volume down with an extension I wrote that makes a Markdown snippet of page metadata that I can paste into the appropriate Obsidian entry's to-read list. *Then* I'll find it again but it's high friction because it requires there to be a matching note in Obsidian, ideally with stub text and links to related notes.

     @robin @ntnsndr @mmasnick @blakereid there’s a community plugin to embed a browser inside of #Obsidian.

     I’m sorry / you’re welcome.
