I have 700+ browser tabs open across three separate Chrome profiles (work, personal, and my startup). Each profile has multiple windows. Those windows are organized across Windows Virtual Desktops so I can fit even more on my 49-inch ultrawide monitor. This is not a cry for help. This is architecture.

You know that moment in a work meeting when you have to share your screen and your soul leaves your body? I've learned to open a fresh browser window with clean tabs before every call. A decoy browser. A mask for my browser.

But the real existential crisis? Coming back to my computer and discovering Windows decided 2 AM was a great time to restart for a security update. The browser tabs survive (Chrome's got my back). But the 14 other apps I had positioned exactly where I needed them across multiple desktops? Gone. It's not simply an inconvenience for. It's now two hours I need to spend to recover from “amnesia”.

People keep saying "there's an extension for that." Son, I am the extension!
