    Yeah, questions like “what chemicals should I avoid mixing if I don’t want make explosives by accident”, and then congratulating themselves as if you can’t just Google “how to make a bomb”

      Can’t fucking look up the history of firearm propellant chemistry post-black powder as if I’m going to use that knowledge for anything more than for what I use all the other shit I google about. You think I’m trying to look up articles about sound changes in pre-literare Finnish because I’m trying to blow up a language or something.

        I feel like there’s a great story here that nobody is hearing

              Close tabs? That might mean I lose them. Madness. You can take my 400 open tab (Late edit: ow god I wish I was lying about that number) from my cold dead hands!

                Download one of those tab stash extensions. It might not fix the problem, but it moves it out of the way sufficiently to forget about it.

                  If you’re a big dork like me and don’t like installing extensions, you can use Tab Groups in Chrome (or any Chromium-based browser). I save groups as sort of temp (ephemeral if I want to impress promptfondlers) bookmarks categorized by whatever miscellaneous stuff.

                  You can close the group and every tab will reopen when you open the group. When you delete all the tabs, the group is removed from the top of the browser window.

                    I don’t think the type that doesn’t like extensions would be likely to use a chromium based browser tho. I suggest saving all your tabs to a text file.

                  ow god forgot about all the tabs I had stored in that one. (thanks btw, but I already use something like that, I just need to clean up, finish things, or decide not to finish things).

                  also a crutch I use but I really want “onetab for adhd”

                  some things I want in it: keep tree context, allow me to set notes/reasons on groups, links between storesets, page-archiving with full text search index built

                  and yeah I know the first one probably requires a Fx feature that might not exist yet
