What did you learn today? Share it with us!

We learn something new every day. This is a community dedicated to informing each other and helping to spread knowledge.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must begin with TIL. Linking to a source of info is optional, but highly recommended as it helps to spark discussion.

** Posts must be about an actual fact that you have learned, but it doesn't matter if you learned it today. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.**



Rule 2- Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding non-TIL posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.

I have lots of different things I'm doing, not simultaneously but all of them regularly.
I have a hobby for which im using ~5-10 different sites regularly. And another hobby with ~3-5 sites.
Then I have a business where I keep all relevant tabs open, which are quite a few as well. Then all the general stuff (emails etc). And I probably still forgot something.

I'm still far away from the 100s, but I do keep around 20-30 tabs open all the time, and that doesn't include any temporary tabs that I do close right after using it. I have them all sorted and separated using Firefox' containers feature though.

Yes I could work with bookmarks too, but that has a few downsides. For example, for my business I am working with different Google drive folders for each project. It would be annoying to keep the bookmarks up to date or to navigate to the relevant folder each time when I can just leave the tab open and continue where I left off. Another example is one of my hobbies where I use the same 10 sites every time, so I'd have to open 10 sites when I do the hobby and then close them when I'm done, which seems redundant to me for just the benefit of not having tabs open I'm not using at the moment.
So ultimately, to me it's way easier to have an overview of 30 open tabs than managing endless bookmarks that I need to keep up to date.

What I would prefer is a feature where I can have different environments and all tabs of that environment open and close automatically. So I say I want the environment "work" and my 10 work tabs open, then I work, then I switch the environment profile and all current work tabs' updated URLs get saved and the other environment's tabs open. If there's anything like that I'd be thankful for a recommendation.
That's the only way I see me not having dozens of tabs open all the time honestly.

Orion browser has this. https://blog.kagi.com/orion-features

But also I think you can accomplish the same with Sidebery on Firefox.

Thank you! I don't have apple devices but Sideberry comes very close to what I'm looking for, I think it will help me organize my tabs.
