*Observation 1: | |||
I'll open a tab then lock it (thanks to TMP) and | |||
leave it locked sometimes all day and through restarts until I decide | |||
that I want to work on that page, interact with it etc. | |||

== Individual user scenarios == | |||
User scenario 1: | |||
When monitoring a particular page on a site that I'm moderating all | |||
recent posts and comments for, I'll open multiple new tabs from links | |||
from that one page and those are only open for a short amount of time | |||
while the first tab is open longer. | |||
I have bookmarks of local files that I access frequently and most of | |||
those are opened for a few seconds. | |||
Facebook, Twitter etc, it isn't uncommon to open multiple tabs from | |||
links on those sites too. They may be to add a quick comment, or watch | |||
a full video. | |||
Another example is I'm writing this with chrome://testpilot/content/status.html | |||
opened in a tab so this is more of a temporary tab. | |||
I guess that one of my main points is that for me (and probably other | |||
power users), I more often than not start with a base tab (containing | |||
whatever content) and work outwards from that. That tab will usually | |||
stay opened for a few minutes while the tabs that branch out from it | |||
more often than not are only open for a short amount of time. | |||
And sometimes I go to the bathroom. :) | |||
User scenario 2: | |||
I do malware removal tech support for two different forums. And | |||
when I am doing that I am opening and closing tabs for purely research | |||
purposes. Sometime while doing this I can do a search and open half a | |||
dozen pages in different tabs, and then find what I need while the | |||
others are loading, and close them all. | |||
