I’m a good boy and always close my tabs! ^^
Sometimes I see some coworkers having hundreds of tabs open, and I just don’t understand why or how. Any tab hoarders here who can explain?
And then they come to you complaining about how slow their computer is. I cannot magically make the 11 year old workstation that they insist on abusing with 200+ chrome tabs magically go as fast as their neighbor’s who is using it as a glorified email machine.
Yep, has happened in the past. But nowadays browsers are pretty good at minimizing the cpu usage of background tabs. Also, most of our developers’ workstations are configured with 64 GB ram, which, come to think of it, might be enabling the addiction in the first place…

“I might need it later”.
Bookmarks are heresy.
