Yeah, I keep hearing of people (esp. power users) using web browsers with hundreds of tabs open, and I don't understand why they need so many, nor how it remains manageable/useful/navigable. When I end up with > 25 tabs, it usually just means I need to run a garbage collection cycle. Whatever the reason is, it's probably some use case(s) that could be better handled by the browser or an extension. Are they using all…

I use my browser as my 'auxiliary memory', if I don't have time to read something right away I just open a tab and leave it until I have time. On a typical day this means that in the morning I start with the session I left the evening before, say 25 tabs or so (usually project + whatever documentation I need for it), then as the day goes by the number of open tabs slowly increases. By the evening it probably is at it…

You should try instapaper.com

"Well, I don't plan in doing any kind of man-in-middle attack. Neither I am planning to selling the domain to a 3rd party."

Well, I still think it's irresponsible to provide or use such a "service". I can't think it's good for security if people get in the habit of relying on potentially unreliable third-parties just for the heck of it.

Why ask people to trust that you have only good intentions when that wouldn't even be necessary if you didn't provide a (IMHO less than worthless) "service"?

I might sound harsh, but the whole matter just reeks of sloppiness to me.

Thank you for posting this.

Since the domain is registered at GoDaddy, it's trivial to set up a redirect. Just select the domain and click the "Forward" button.

By the way, for someone who prefers to remain anonymous you don't make it very easy to post anonymously on your weblog.

With autocomplete, typing can be faster than a bookmark when all you have to do is type "h" then press down and ok.

Amusingly, all I do is type "n" and then press enter, and Google Chrome takes me here using the normal address.

Exactly, the same happens for me "n" is for Hacker News in my Firefox vunderbar.

protip: www

So adding www makes his example completely moot. If shortness were an issue then why only use www.qwertqwert.com ?

I never claimed that his example was representative of a useful, short domain name, I simply pointed out that you came to a conclusion that was wrong after doing far too little research. If you have a problem with the length of his domain name, I'd suggest commenting to him, not me.

The downmods are ridiculous, did I honestly distract from the conversation or did everyone disagree that putting www in front fixes it? This place is dying.
