I used to have 100+ open tabs on Chrome. I was drowning, and my productivity was at an all time low. I switched to Sidekick because it allows you to get your tabs under control with its "sessions" feature. How? You can create different sessions and assign your open tabs to them. Here are some example sessions (and number of tabs in each): Apply for jobs (7) Research buying new TV (9) Mexico vacation planning (5) Freelance project (4) Gaming (4) Crypto portfolio management (11) Write + research essay (9) Read later (25... lolz) All sessions remain saved and closed except the one you're actively working on. Going from the anxiety constantly seeing 100 tabs to just 4-10 tabs was like a sack of bricks being lifted from my cognitive load. For people struggling with focus or ADHD, this single feature cannot be overstated (it also makes your computer run faster by saving a ton of memory). Sidekick also has a second way of reducing tabs, and its pretty clever. A narrow "sidebar" runs along the lefthand side of the browser where you can pin the sites/webapps that you frequently hop in and out of throughout the day, regardless of what session you're working in. Spotify, Gmail, Calendar, Messenger, Whatsapp web, etc. These pinned app icons function as permanently open tabs (despite not having the appearance of a tab). This removes your most frequently used sites from your top row of tabs, giving the following benefits: 1.) Much smaller number of open tabs in the top row. Contains *only* the active task/project tabs i'm working on (great for boosting focus and reducing cognitive anxiety) 2.) You can jump between sessions and not disrupt the state of the pinned sites on the sidebar because they never "close." In other words, your Spotify music keeps playing and the half-composed message you never sent doesn't get lost. Those are the best two features for people struggling with focus, but here are a few more: - Auto-suspend unused tabs after X minutes (frees up a ton of memory) - Inbuilt adblocker is convenient - Schedule "block distracting websites" at certain days/times TBH I'm surprised more people don't know about this browser. It even has ARC Browser beat on its approach to sessions. Sidekick's fresh take on browser design offers meaningful help to those whose focus and productivity has been impacted by tab overload.
