| > Less RAM, obviously, while this is not very important it's just nice to have. Unlike PC RAM which I can expand every time I get a new PC, my mental RAM is limited. Making sure to put everything I don't need right now into external systems to free up my mental RAM was one of my main takeaways from reading Getting Things Done some 15 years ago, and for me, nested browser tabs is one level of my storage hierarchy. Also note the word nested. I can bookmark things, yes, and I do it a lot. But for me, ctrl-clicking as I read through some documentation first time and then have everything open in a nested level of tabs and then being able to walk backward and forward between a table of contents or a search, concepts, related concepts and related information like blogs or bug reports effortlessly and without losing track of where I am or how I came there (it is just one step up in the hierarchy) is very valuable. Before I learned to use Tree Style Tabs I'd navigate linearly and be afraid to lose out something important. Today with TST I am only afraid that someone at Mozilla will finally find a way to totally destroy the extension API, forcing me to go to Mac/Orion (nothing bad about Orion, but I still struggle with Mac shortcuts). |
