I would go stark raving mad using that complex of a tab system. LOL! It's a combination of the types of information I worked with, how I use the information plus the way my brain spins. A simpler organization fits my needs.

Actually it is attempting to discern which tab is which when you have more than a few opened and they all look much alike (esp. when from the same site, like FR) and crunched up is what is difficult. And a vertical list is not as easy to find a page than multiple tab rows and Colorful Tabs. And you can just drag tabs and group them together. However, if you are not research-intensive then all you need is poor Edge or Chrome.

Webpage wise, I would rarely need more than a half dozen tabs at a time for quick referral on the home screen. With respect to Edge for example, typicality I would be IDing companies and tech for specific needs of the moment or specifications for materials and equipment. Sometimes this would be enough or it would get me prepped for follow on detailed conversations. Tech info especially, I would need hard copies for the personal working file so a printer and 3-ring binder are my very good friends. Also, bookmarks were used for future reference. For long term or permanently retained info, I maintain a detailed folder arrangement via email attachment and archived in the company server. Very little is actually electronically stored locally other than immediately active items. Past some level of complexity, electronic filing is delegated to a project clerk, a full time job.

Since my variety of design was number based, I never had a need for a large monitor so typically would have a high end laptop plugged into a 19in monitor. Laptops for a number of years have had more HP than the towers of 10 years ago used for complex modeling.

I'm an engineer specialized in phase 1 process design and process control. What is it you work with? It strikes me as something used for real time data in the financial field. And I really would go nuts with that kind of tab setup. Professionally, I'm an engineering product of the 1970s and like my drop down menu trees. LOL
