Ugh, I see this on people’s computers at work during screen sharing. First off, Chrome is the clunkiest browser you could possibly use on macOS and second, why so many tabs? How do y’all need 20 tabs open — like you can’t even see the titles because there are so many?
You don't need to see the titles (and you can always see them with vertical tabs anyway). There are good cases for having many tabs open. It's just that chrome is terrible at dealing with them.
I typically have two tabs of the same website open and need to know which tab belongs to which page. Just having the icon looks so sloppy to me and I always see coworkers cycle through their 4,000 tabs to get to anything.
If you keep some tabs at specific places you know where they are. Some websites are so bloated that every action has a cost (looking at you jira) and having only 1-2 tabs of the site open and searching within it is so much more sloppy. When you find yourself with >20 important tabs you should split them to groups or multiple windows. But just having them open isn't bad.
It's disgusting, let's call things by name. Poor digital hygiene can be as disgusting as physical.
