Do you really need 14 pinned tabs? I use plenty of apps too, but they don’t need to be sitting there all the time.

And multiple day tasks, I still can’t imagine why you need all the tabs. For me, I get in, get what I need and get out again.

Well, "need" is a funny word. I guess I don't "need" any tabs, or even bookmarks. I could just type URLs all day and have a very pretty browser.

They are things like GHE, monitoring, DNS, our CA. Things I use/change literally every day, some of them I'm in constantly. I don't pin things I don't use all the time.

Multiday tasks are typically research-heavy, closing things is equivalent to "loosing my place". I suppose I could use "bookmark this group of tabs", but it hasn't really mattered when I can just... leave them there until I come back.
