A disease called TB (Tabbed Browsing)

I started using tabbed browsing when the Chrome browser was launched. Mind = blown. It was too awesome a feature. (Ok, Mozilla had it, but the way you could move around and play with the tabs on Chrome was too goddamn pleasing.) I loved it.

Now I hate it.

Why?

1. A tab, once opened, is not read beyond one para.

2. A tab, once opened, is never closed. No, you don't get rid of guilt pangs that easy.

The silver lining of course, was the fact that Chrome was quite unstable. Every once in a while it would crash in a way that the 'Recover all tabs' feature would fail. 

Now that that issue seems to have been fixed, my crib has extended to include an additional point.

3. Pray, why must that YouTube video be in PLAY mode by default? Hunting for that one (if lucky, else more) tab which is generating is the most irritating thing ever. And whatever is that video anyways? As if TED talks have ever done any long term good. Bloody pseudo intellectual self glorification.

And the worst bit. It reminds me I am aging.

4. Open new tab. Watch cursor blink at the address bar. FORGET in < 1 sec, why you wanted a new tab.
