Tabbed internet browsing is probably one of the greatest software innovations. It is not uncommon for me to have anywhere from five to ten tabs open at a particular time. The process of writing my daily email causes me to use six different tabs (not counting the ones I open to get links for the tech news section.)
If you are an avid tab user like me, you may have had a time when you wished you could disable a tab for a period of time. Yes, you could bookmark it, but then you have to go find the bookmark and remember to delete it when you are finished.
If you use Chrome or Firefox, there are extensions available that provide this function. In Chrome, TabSnooze will add a small moon icon. Click on the icon to display the available options for reactivating your tab. You can choose from: Later Today, This Evening, Tomorrow, This Weekend, Next Week, In a Month, Someday, Mail Myself, or Pick a Date.
In Firefox, TabAlarm provides a similar function. Right click anywhere on the page to set up an alarm. Then, choose the date and time you want the tab to reappear. You can even set a tab to appear on a regular schedule (weekly, monthly, etc.)
