    Is this a new mental illness I haven’t heard of?

    In an interview with PCMag, Hazel said she keeps all those tabs open because she likes “to scroll back and see clusters of tabs from months ago — it’s like a trip down memory lane on whatever I was doing/learning about/thinking about.” So, when she recovered her 7,000+ tab browsing session, she said, “I feel like a part of me is restored.”

    Actually that’s kinda cool. I shouldn’t be a hater.

      But… Firefox has a history feature that would serve her purpose much better?

      No it’s probably s mental illness or something. If she like the tabs as a memoir thing, she should do what people have done on vacations for decades - take pictures (aka here as screenshots or saved pages).

        So not archiving these memories in the way you would determines whether or not it is a mental illness? How is taking photos any mpre or less of a mental illness than leaving the tabs open?

        Seems like quite the jump to conclusion to assume it is a mental illness.
