Why do not need to keep open more than 9 browser tabs
Tips Productivity / / December 19, 2019
People often complain about the slow speed of the browser, and the whole system with a large number of open tabs. Can be blamed for such a situation, incompetent and lazy developers do not want to optimize the code and memory management in your product, you can use special addonsAnd can recognize the obvious thing: this way of working in the browser itself is incorrect.
Try opening a large number of tabs in Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Safari or IE. To some extent, you will notice a drop in stability and performance in each of these browsers. With luck you can get a complete collapse of the entire system. Meanwhile, a similar style of work in the browser unproductive and meaningless, and that 4 prove this assertion:
1. You do not see the contents of your open tabs
What is the point to keep open dozens of tabs, if you spend more time looking for the correct tab than to work with her?
Great if you only enough icons to uniquely identify the page and its contents, but often you just complicate and slow down your workflow.
2. There are more convenient options
If you have found interesting information, it is not necessary to leave it an open tab. Instead, you can:
- close the tab, and then find it later in your history
- bear Tabs
- add it to Evernote or similar tool
- use tools for the organization of the material of interest to you with sources (the same as Google Reader)
3. You still will not be able to assimilate so much information
We do not really multitasking. Running between two dozen tabs, trying to do everything at once and everywhere? Bad idea. It is therefore much more effective would be consistent with the work of each tab: Open -> made -> closed -> next tab.
4. Why is not more than 9?
The answer lies in the same keyboard shortcuts. Ctrl + 1 transfers the user to the first tab, Ctrl + 2 on the second and so on. Opening several dozen tabs you actually lose the ability to navigate using shortcuts, thus further slowing down your workflow.
