One Tab To Rule Them All

Handing out credit left & right; we'll continue being meek & humble* long enough to acknowledge Internet acquaintance Substance McGravitas, who knows & shares what makes the computing experience (by which we mean dicking around on the Internet) easier & faster.

AdBlock, for example. One forgets such things as banner ads & pop-ups until one encounters a sad little box on some website asking that you turn AdBlock off because how can they make a living otherwise? (Warms the black & shriveled cockles of our little heart to see that.) Even blocks adverts on most streaming video services. (Not on hulu.com where they won't play until you turn it off, but CBS.com doesn't seem to notice & doesn't play the adverts.)

And while we've barely examined the other doo-dads mentioned here where McGravitas recently sent us, One Tab was exactly what we needed. We had 37 tabs open & memory use was at 68%. After adding OT, memory use is hovering near 30%. Can't beat that w/ a stick, 'though there's one bad concept: Sharing.
You can also create a web page from your list of tabs, so that you can easily share your tabs with other people, other computers, or with your smartphone or tablet.
No thank you. As they said in grade school: MYOFB.

Yes, but I have to be running Chrome (I usually run Firefox).

And I do believe that the asterisk was made in Kingston, Jamaica in 1974.

A simple "Aw, shucks, thanks, glad to help" would have done.

Get on the Chrome bandwagon while you can/before it's too late!
