Is there a term for the inverse productivity achieved when you have so many tabs open that you can no longer see any favicons? If not, I'm going to spend some CPU cycles coining one. I feel like I hit this pivotal point almost daily, even though I'm working on many screens at once. The problem is I'm usually squirreling on so many things at once I neglect to close tabs. p.s. long ass German words don't count sorry.

@briankrebs That's what backups are for. 😁
I literally fleshed out the "restore only a subtree" code path of bakelite specifically in response to corrupted browser tabs/session.

Distabulated? Tic-Tac-Tab? Tabicide?

Crap, my browser just committed tabicide. Time to restart fresh.

@catsalad @cR0w @briankrebs In Firefox it does as long as the private browsing window is still open.

@briankrebs I lost all my tabs once 20+ years ago and still haven't gotten over it. :scared_satania:

@catsalad @briankrebs My mind was blown when I did that in the middle of a demo and a student told me about Ctrl+Shift+T. Saved my ass hundreds of times ever since.

@cR0w @briankrebs Reopen last closed tab? Does it work in private browsing, I wonder 🤔
