  • I have lots of different things I’m doing, not simultaneously but all of them regularly.
    I have a hobby for which im using ~5-10 different sites regularly. And another hobby with ~3-5 sites.
    Then I have a business where I keep all relevant tabs open, which are quite a few as well. Then all the general stuff (emails etc). And I probably still forgot something.

    I’m still far away from the 100s, but I do keep around 20-30 tabs open all the time, and that doesn’t include any temporary tabs that I do close right after using it. I have them all sorted and separated using Firefox’ containers feature though.

    Yes I could work with bookmarks too, but that has a few downsides. For example, for my business I am working with different Google drive folders for each project. It would be annoying to keep the bookmarks up to date or to navigate to the relevant folder each time when I can just leave the tab open and continue where I left off. Another example is one of my hobbies where I use the same 10 sites every time, so I’d have to open 10 sites when I do the hobby and then close them when I’m done, which seems redundant to me for just the benefit of not having tabs open I’m not using at the moment.
    So ultimately, to me it’s way easier to have an overview of 30 open tabs than managing endless bookmarks that I need to keep up to date.

    What I would prefer is a feature where I can have different environments and all tabs of that environment open and close automatically. So I say I want the environment “work” and my 10 work tabs open, then I work, then I switch the environment profile and all current work tabs’ updated URLs get saved and the other environment’s tabs open. If there’s anything like that I’d be thankful for a recommendation.
    That’s the only way I see me not having dozens of tabs open all the time honestly.

    I give donations, but way less than I’d like (less in terms of quantity of recipients, not the total financial quantity).

    What I’d love (not only for FOSS, but also stuff like podcasts and other things I’m donating to regularly) would be a service where I can set a budget and select the software and tools I use and it splits it up automatically.

    I don’t mind donating, but I hate managing it, having dozens of small transactions for it, and I feel like I’m forgetting to donate to like 90+% of the stuff I’m using. Also, with payment provider’s fees it’s often not worth it to donate <1€ a month, so bundling transactions would be way more effective - for me as the user as well as the recipients who’d get one transaction once a month from said service rather than hundreds of small ones.

    I never really understood why e.g. Patreon doesn’t offer this. You can’t expect perks with this because the perks probably will start higher than what’s the breakdown of each recipient woild be at a reasonable budget, but the advantage would be that (mostly) everyone would get a piece of your cake, rather than like 5 of the 500 different creators/developers/… you’re using content/software of. Also, you could reduce or increase the monthly budget depending on your financial situation, rather than cancelling or modifying dozens of small subscriptions.
