Fuck Firefox, Fuck YouTube, Fuck Google
There. At LEAST one of them deserves it. I don't know which one though
Google+ was finally pissing me off enough that I unlinked the account and deleted it. When I did, ALL YouTube videos unless compatible with HTML5 (I watch a few videos that have ads so gragh) no longer worked. Sites like ArmorGames work, so it isn't the Flash
Either Firefox fucked something up (NONE of the recommended fixes work), YouTube fucked something up, Google fucked something up, or any combination of them did a team fuck up
>.< And unless you know of a plugin or whatever that makes tabs work EXACTLY like the tabs on Firefox (leaving enough tab visible to see a good chunk of the page title, can scroll left and right through it, can click an arrow at the end to reveal a drop down list of all the tabs) then do NOT recommend another Web Browser, because I would have jumped ship LONG ago if it wasn't for that (I have 90+ tabs open on a regular basis, hence why I like Firefox's way of handling tabs)

Did you choose delete Google + content or full profile?
^ Google+ content
Well, do any of these tab plugins work?
^ The one that gives a drop down list is the closest I've seen so far
Having lots of tabs open on a regular basis is exactly why I hate Firefox's way of handling tabs, actually.
Ok, so the problem wasn't ANY of the threes fault
AdBlock+ apparently went rouge on me and started hating everything (I started suspecting it when the javascript on Reddit started to fail)
Now to find out why AdBlock+ was freaking out...
This is why I segregate my Google accounts. None of them are linked. If I ever need to jettison one, I can just simply leave it hanging in the wind and be done with it.
> 90+ tabs
You're insane.
^ That's just one window, too
...I blame my ADHD
I guess my having ten tabs doesn't quite qualify for ADHD status.
Then again, I know someone who has set Opera to open with like 40 tabs by default. Though it doesn't load them all.
Invalid blame, I am ADHD too. I barely go above 7 tabs. It is unrealistic and innefficient to have more than 20 tabs: Your brain will not remember each and every tab, nor the broad "types", you are just buffering for the sake of buffering.
I fucking love tabs, often having somewhere in the dozens open at any one time. Tabs are fantastic, and allow me to organise my browsing for peak excess. I don't even use all those tabs; most are just songs I like that I have up just in case and forget to listen to.
I usually have between 5-20 open. A nice, solid number. Some of those are music, various forums/social media, and whatever I happen to be doing at the time.
I used to work with 25.
Then I started to reduce that number to 10-ish tops. Normally it's five, though.
Chrome is horrible for many reasons but relevantly to this topic it has no good built-in way of managing tabs, unlike Firefox's Panorama and Opera's tab stacks.
There's no reason to have lots of tabs open at once anyway, though. At least, not all the time.
Is this the effect of not being on TVT for long enough?Mine doesn't really seem to have a problem as long as I can see the first letter and the icon of the tab >_>
Unless you mean, "your brain will not remember even having that tab open" in which case I have a constant reminder for that anyway (the top of the screen)
I usually have around 40 to 60 tabs open. I open a new window when the tabs become too many to bother displaying their icons (this is on Chrome) and then repeat.
At some point I had 6.5/4(some decimal that indicates a not-full window but one that isn't so empty either) full windows of tabs, I believe.
I normally start closing the tabs and bookmarking stuff (which I do end up forgetting about, but hey, it's there) once I reach the "three full Chrome windows" status (by then my computer starts to lag too if enough of those tabs are video-tabs for some reason)
I find I rarely ever need more than about 7 tabs anyway. I've got four open now and that's a pretty standard number. I like closing things that have already been used rather than keeping them open and leaving a trail of unfinished business.
It helps that I also try to find sources other than Youtube for music.
Firefox is enough of a memory hog without my opening up stuff that isn't necessary to what I immediately want to do.
For what it's worth I use Tab Mix Plus and use a multi-row tab toolbar.
The issue for me, then comes from how it hasn't been used anyway. >_>
And the reason why they are not being used, is because procrastination.
Even on teh internetz, I accumulate work. Welp.
I felt some sort of inner calm after I stopped using dozens of tabs.
Still need to figure out which 40-50 of my ~110 current ones are the extra ones I forgot...
Good lord, guys. The last time I ever needed more than 10 tabs of anything open was at a job where I was bugfixing that many interrelated source files. I can't even remember the last time I had more than 7 or so tabs on web browsing of all things.
Like, right now I've got three. A Lets Play I've had open for the last week or so and have been steadily poking through when bored, a fanfiction I've had open for the last few days and have also been steadily poking through when bored, and this. Throw in a couple spur of the moment ones for stuff that people link every once in a while, and that's all that's needed.
Seriously folks? 20+ tabs? After 8 or so I realize I'm not going back to certain pages and start closing them out. Generally unless a tab has a song, a page I want to keep refreshing every so often or something I'm updating once in a while I have no reason to keep a tab open.
I usually have 3-5, and up to 10 or so when browsing forums and the like.
As for firefox, I don't like it very much, but Leechblock is still better that any alternative anti-timewaster I've seen.
Internet Explorer gets much unfair hate.
Having tried all current mainstream browsers, I have to say that I honestly like IE9 the best.
Aside from the standards compliance stuff more recent IEs aren't TOO bad.
I never thought IEs were that bad, nor that Firefoxes or Chromes or Operas were that good.
We used to work with IE8 in the call center. Between the constant clugging, inconsistent responses and the general lag, I don't think I ever hated a browser as much as I did that. Or that I felt as good as when I came back home every night and used Chrome again.
Are we talking intrinsically or extended by add-ons? Because I use Firefox in part because it has extensive add-on support. Intrinsically, I don't see it as gloriously better than any other browser, though.
Yeah, even if IE has gotten better about security (by default -- it was downright atrocious for a really long time), the addon support is still a dealbreaker.
...Although the fact that I have 9 tabs open in Safari on my iPhone and that's on the small end may say that I have hoarding issues or something...
