    My daughter never closes tabs. It’s infuriating. I’m doing online school with her and I have to constantly tell her to close tabs. “You don’t need to keep that O. Henry story tab open anymore. You didn’t even like it.”

      Stop me if you’ve heard this before: “But if I need it again later it’ll be goooooone…!”

      Today we’re going to teach you all about bookmarks.

        I have that issue myself but I just use an add on or extension that unloads the tab when I’m not using it, or something like one tab where I can store tabs indefinitely “just in case” and ease my tab hoarding mind. Cause I don’t wanna bookmark the tabs, I prefer to use bookmarks for important links or ones I revisit regularly, I just often don’t know if I might need a tab one more time again in the future, or might plan to go back to it eventually, so I need a different method to manage it.
