> Could you give a few examples of this? I still can't think of anything particularly common that would reasonably justify more than a dozen tabs at once...

as an example, someone asks "hey can you update the appstore screenshots" and while i may still have appstore open on anothet tab, ill open a mew one just for that task, then later somone asks, hey whats up with jira ticket 1234, now i already have 3 tickets open in jira, and i dont wanna disturb those, somill open another tab, same with online docs like confluence, or web searches on google... at some poont the overwhelming number of tabs themselves get to be too much, so clearing context to yet-another-tab, is a way of coping i think...

i see this all the time in group meetings btw

> I'm working on a piece of software that goes several levels beyond what browsers currently offer for information organization, and (per the topic)

that sounds cool. one idea ive had for a while is that sites (like confluence ot jira, or gdocs) are basically apps, so they should be treated as such and automatically grouped together (im windows or tabs) just like native apps...
