While I subscribe to Spotify Premium, I did make the time to convert my CD collection to FLAC files to maintain lossless compression. When I prefer to listen to a few favorites on my headphones it's nice to hear the full quality of the song. This also removes any dependence on an Internet connection. No tracking of my music listening there either...
With many streaming music services (not the free versions) you can save the song to the local device, thus not wasting bandwidth on multiple plays of the same song, or being affected by flaky Internet connections. The 10 or so bucks a month also eliminates all the ads.
The one thing I have noticed about myself over the years is that as my Internet connection speed has increased, the more inclined I am to open more tabs as I am doing my daily rounds. In the past, the decision to follow a link was more considered, perhaps due to longer page load times, and slower computers.
My point was not to paint all men or women into a defined category, but to use a common, but often highly misleading stereotype, to illustrate how different people's brains are wired - this difference can manifest in many ways... browsing habits among them.
Just imagine every wall in that doom game filled with dynamic ads for health insurance (before you are fragged of course), places to comment on which weapon you like better (to be posted to social media)... oh and the whole game is just a conglomeration of Adobe flash videos.
Some people think in a straight line, others more like a tree branch. The 'straight liners' only need to keep a few tabs open at a time to follow the single mental thread they are following. Those who quickly branch out and multitask will inevitably have numerous tabs open.
It's like the case of the spouse who is talking on the phone, feeding the baby, cooking dinner, and folding laundry compared to the other spouse, having a hard time focusing on the football game while reaching for another beer...
It's like watching a 7 minute television program in the space of an hour, divided up every 5 seconds by commercial breaks.. and trying to record the whole thnig sans commercials on an old-school VHS deck.
Highlights: - Indicates it's a 5-year contract - Requires access rights to Microsoft's proprietary (closed-source) code - Direct support from Microsoft's internal employees—not from outsourced contractors
My attention span is more than long enough, I can focus on one topic for hour -- hey, is that another Galaxy S8 rumor? Anyways, about the new MacBook Pro's...

I'll second that notion. Apple needs to return to it's roots of software that 'simply works'. I stopped using iTunes years ago.
I'm not the biggest Google Play fan. I started my streaming music adventure with Apple Music, but eventually moved to Spotify.

The number is correct... I had to take into account inflation, ad-ware fees, ransom overhead, and larger software updates! ;)
$640,000,000,000 ought to be enough for everybody!
My browsing style sounds similar to yours.

No.
It removes support for all forms of HTML in favor of wireless AppleScript.
Heh too true.

How to you know where all your tabs are at? Do you organize them in groups on across multiple windows?
I'd say it's a very individual thing.

'Again, good lord. Hundreds of tabs? What are you even doing.
It's the web
It's a slashdot user
Must you ask?
Actually Apple's new web browser, cOurage, is a far better choice, for those who are not afraid.
I think the questioner's machine is either crap or bogged down with malware.
So... it has a single browser window open displaying a common social media site...
Just view the internet like it was back in the 90's...
I'd take black text on grey any day... heck resurrect the rotting corpse that was called frames too -- still an improvement!

Well, that pretty much ends my daily web browsing routine...

So it's either a 3rd party malicious actor using a compromised DHS server, or a rouge DHS actor?
I'm not sure which is worse:
1. The DHS servers are really botnets
2. The DHS tried to do this
3. The "DHS servers" likely succeeded else where

That's what your level 3 web browser cache is for! ;)
