I don't use tabs. Not on purpose anyway. I prefer new windows. And I
would never have 30 open at a time. That's ridiculous! I think the most
I've had is 6 or 7.

I also have zero interest in pinning anything to boards or organizing them.
This sounds like something that would appeal to those same people who are
into scrap books. And that's not me. It's not hard to save a link and it's
not hard to make folders. I have one favorite entitled "Foods". And in it
is a folder entitled, "Recipes". If I want a saved recipe, I click on that
and then whatever subfolder it might be in. I now have one called
"Fritters". Much easier and quicker than going to Pinterest.
