This week's top tips

​ Hi: My name's Chris, and I have a problem with browser tabs. At the end of a workday, I often discover I have dozens of browser tabs open across too many different browser windows to count. Sometimes, I discover the same page open in multiple tabs. I may find myself looking around for a browser tab from earlier, trying to remember what window it was in — or just trying to hunt it down in that tab bar that gets so hard to read when you have so many tabs open. Alt+Tab isn't a huge help with this. It's more about windows than tabs. Thankfully, this week, I have a way to cut through the browser tab chaos. ⌚ This entire email will take you two minutes to read.
