I just realized that I get a high off of closing tabs. Any tabs will do — Chrome, Firefox, Safari — I just love sweeping through 38 tabs, en masse. It’s like browser genocide, mass tab eradication. It’s a symbol of a job completed, a paper handed in, a useless inquiry settled. What better way to celebrate than to watch eight tabs of Sage Knowledge, 10 tabs of UFV library searches, and an assortment of Wikipedia or YouTubes for reference, disappear into Tab Hell.
Browser History is like Hell for tabs. Interesting thing about Browser History is it can be emptied. Where do the tabs go after Hell? Maybe there’s a Tab Heaven after Tab Hell; maybe a second chance for tabs. Or, they could disappear from existence altogether.
So it’s not like a big high or anything, hardly a buzz, but it’s enough to wake up the senses just a touch. That’s why I like closing tabs.
