>But who needs all those tabs anyway?

While doing research, each search yields numerous links that I need to evaluate so I'll open them all in tabs and then I go through them as a task list to whittle down.

I have a whole window for just email + comms. I have several different businesses that all use separate email, etc in containers.

I also have several interests where each gets its own window and has up to 24 pinned tabs of key sites for that topic. These are not business, so I don't have time pressure to whittle down the tabs that I open.

I currently have 368 tabs open and they are all easy to access: Select a window by topic (I use the Titler extension to name windows) and I have 3 rows of 8 tabs pinned at the top and up to 37 tabs with 40 characters of tab name space. So in each window, I can see 61 tabs without scrolling.

Why would I ever want "tab discipline?"
