One at a time. Even with you clicking on dozens or hundreds of hyperlinks, YOU can only review then one tab at a time. You've saved nothing by opening hundreds of hyperlinks that you only see one at a time. So, open one hyperlink to review if it is pertinent, then move onto the next. > How many of those hits do you click on to see if they're what you need? Just one at a time. I nor you can view hundreds of tabs at once. > Then, how do you get rid of the hits which were not useful to your effort? I can close the tab as I'm viewing it for when I decide it is not pertinent.

You got a solution on how to flatten a menu, but not on minimizing the clicking that you lamented about. > Do you only use one web browser? > I use plenty. Currently I use 4: Firefox, Chrome, Brave, and Edge. But that is during evaluation. I have evaluated others, too. Eventually I'll whittle the list down to 2: Firefox and some Chrome variant (probably Edge or Brave). Even then I expect differences in UI design and feature set. > The tool bar button that I saw was clumsily off to the far right, which is > not where every other web browser puts their right-click tab menus. With the context menu to tabs, it moves to match wherever is the position of the tab. It is not a fixed location. Any marksman will tell you that it is harder to hit a moving target than a stationary one. If you don't want to move the mouse around, the add-on lets you hit Alt+W to activate it to close other tabs. No mousing at all. > There is tremendous efficiency in having all the browsers work the same. Never going to happen. If all web browsers were the same, there would be only one web browser. You got *one* UI change to be the same, not the web browser to be the same as others. As I said, Vivaldi is probably the most configurable, so why not use that?
