For iPhone and iPad infovores.

When you have lots of tabs open at the same time, and an actual life to live, try this.

1. Expand the tabs so you see lots of mini-pages.

2. Click on the ### Tabs pull-down at the bottom of the screen.

3. Edit

4. Click on the three dots

5. Copy links

6. Paste into an editor or email.

Come back later, even on your large screen laptop or desktop.

Or not!

You can clear history and close all the tabs.

I've got 37 tabs open right now, and will revisit them later.

Or not!

Tested on iOS 16

I open vast quantities of tabs because I don't trust myself to get back to the "home" page I started with.

That could be a "latest discussions" page on DU, or one of the newest items pages on Hacker News.

And by making a shopping list like this, I can peruse that much shorter list later.

It's my way of curating links that mean something to me. And the list persists, for that inevitable day when I want to recall something later on.

Chacun à son goût.
