Please help me understand how to use tab groups and how to use bookmarks and why they are different things.
Tab groups are built for open tabs, bookmarks are built for revisiting things. Their use cases are quite different in my opinion.
Ok but when do you make the decision to invest in organizing open tabs into groups versus bookmarking them or just moving them to a dedicated window. When do you close the tab or tab group -- only when the initiative is over? Do you "archive" those tabs as bookmarks?
And then there's the profile variable
That's the key, it's like having a separate window, but without the separate window.
At work I'll open anywhere between 40 and 100 tabs at a time, but I want to keep them near my existing tabs and not in another window. I have an extension that opens them all in a new tab group. I typically work from the left edge of the group and close out of tabs as I get through them. I can still hop between my non grouped and grouped tabs without having to change windows. And if I want to pause it for a bit then I "minimize" the group like a window.
Why do you have to "get through them" in a specific order, though?
I don’t have to. It’s just easier to work left to right with the order of the tabs.
This is work work, not just dorking around at home.
Because I have bees in my head that tell me to get through them in order
