genuinely, what's the use case for tab groups and why are they so shilled lately?
>>108449327Theyre great, and they persist on PC shut down on edge. Its just preloaded favourites
>>108449327the ""cure"" for tab hoarders and poor man's tree tabs
Another excuse to bloat the browser and take away control from the user. This stuff was better handled using extensions. People having choice is dangerous for the bottom line and the powers that be.
>>108449327pretty useful for work.I have multiple projects going on at the same time and it helps organize them
>>108449327No use case, unless you are a nigger.They are for lazy tab horders, who spiraled down a hole of messiness, and deluded themselves into believing that putting their tabs into categories would somehow improve the mess.The white man uses bookmarks.
>>108449353>the ""cure"" for tab hoardersHording more tabs?
>>108450559Bookmarks don't preserve history or context.
>>108450587They can, though. Poor can mean more than lack of money.
>>108449327I used them to save Animes that I watched, Kemono links, and some 4chan Archives.It's a handy thing which I use as temporary 'bookmarks'.
>>108450876>Kemonopatrician taste, sir
>>108449327I use them as session containers. Each group for a specific thing that I'm working on or researching. If I no longer need that specific thing, I close the related group, but can resume it days later if needed, without keeping all unrelated for now tabs, opened at all times, cluttering my view and ram.
>>108449327>why are they so shilled latelywhere/by whom?>what's the use case for tab groupsmy usual use case is when I have a bunch of related temporary tabs (so not "bookmarks"), eg. multiple youtube links to watch, items to review/buy online, or different subpages of some documentation or other researchanother case is when you have two instances of something that look alike and you don't want to mix them up, eg. a test instance and production instance of some enterprise web application - you can put tabs for each instance in separate groups and label them accordingly. it's also useful that new tabs opened from a tab in a group, also are placed in that group
>latelyHave you arrived from 2018 or something?
>>108450904Session Buddy is useful for that purpose
>>108449353If you're not hording tabs you're probably stupid.>>108449327Theyre nice. Amazing to group tabs together by subject and keep them out of the way.
>>108451226>and keep them out of the way.
>>108451327Retard have you never used it before? You can collapse them or even save for later.
>>108451344>Retard have you neverESL are fun to trigger. XDSo they don't sit on your tab bar? They are completely invisible?
>>108451375>eslNope, very white, very hot. Try again fag.>tab barSo you can collapse the group, so maybe 20 tabs become just one basically since the marker for the tab group up there is small. You can save and close the group too so its saved away until later when you can restore them. Kinda like bookmarks but more deliberate on being stuff I need to do soonish or being a valid workflow/project but need to clear off since I don't have the time. I dont csre for bookmarks much beyond saving some important links. This is all in librewolf but if youre not using a firefox browser you're probably a fag.
>>108451408rofl, nice cope and backpeddle>hurr keep them out of the way>durr either turn them into bookmarks or slowly lose your tab bar length>very hotSo much so, you cooked your tiny brain. Good luck to you, newfriend.
>>108450587The white man doesn't store browsing history.Why would you want to be tracked that way?Do you also have a GPS logger running wherever you go?
>>108451587>Do you also have a GPS logger running wherever you go?You mean a cellphone?
>>108451593The cellphone at least pretends not to do that.Your browser reveals your porn watching history whenever you enter a character in your url bar.And all that noise in the recommendations makes it ironically harder to get to what you want. It's not even providing you a profit.Meanwhile if you have a bookmark and set a keyword you enter "g" into the url bar and you get to /g/, without it auto-suggesting "google" or "granny porn".History, tab groups, context preservation, etc. only exist to try to manage a mess. But it would be better to not have a mess in the first place.
>>108449327>why are they so shilled lately?I don't know why or how exactly yet but I do know that it is guaranteed to be for a very fucking gay reason.
>>108449353A cure for then already exists its called a bullet to the brain
>>108451638 (Me)And lets not forget about incognito mode.A special mode that only exists to temporarily don't store history, because even the normiest normies get spooked by the sheer amount of data the browser tracks and exposes.All those million different things, that try to make a mess manageable, rather than to not create a mess in the first place.There is no reason why a browser should store your history. There is no reason why incognito mode should even exist. It should be the default.
>>108451375>So they don't sit on your tab bar? They are completely invisible?that's the point. You can close them, and come back to them later on. They try to save context whenever possible.
>>108452676>the pointlol, you missed that a few posts ago, genius
this is probably not a good usecase but I have one group for each board I frequently visit/post inthat way I can return to shitposting/lurking right away, exactly where I leftthe real question is WHAT is the usecase for the reading list
>>108451638>Your browser reveals your porn watching history whenever you enter a character in your url bar.nowadays I live alone and have a PC for myself and even then I still use incognitosomehow the idea of someone going through the obscure JAV I watch after I die is grim or if someone asks me to use my pc or if I am screensharing and have to look something up and a fucking JAV title comes up. That said, you can't use tab groups in incognito so it's a tradeoff.
>>108452744>porn>fucking your own fistlol
it's easier to select all the tabs snap them off into a new window and then minimize the window
>>108449327did chrome not have these? vivaldi has for ages
>>108450904I use different windows for this so this whole concept seems pretty meaningless.
>>108449327100+ youtube tabs
>>108449347>persistidk about edge but firefox can be set to keep all tabs when you close the browser (not preloaded content-wise, just the URL)>>108449327I don't even use those because it takes up more space. What I *do* use is container groups so I can quickly pop a old.reddit.com link for example in a new tab to see if my comment shows up, without opening a new window ("private window").The use case is literally only to MOVE multiple tabs together when you're moving things around.
