tab nabbing

A hacker's attempt to steal personal account information by replacing the site information on an inactive browser tab with identical images that link instead to the hacker's site. The user is requested to re-log in to the site that was opened in a tab they left open in their browser while visiting other sites, such as email, PayPal, social networks or a bank, and when the user supplies their password to re-log in, their login information is sent to the hacker.

Hey man! Don't do it. Check the site URL or just close the tab and start over, to make sure no one is tab nabbing you.

Tab Train

When you have so many tabs open in your internet browser, that scrolling back through them to the original tab takes a extended amount of time. The way in which the tabs load is similar to a moving train with all its carriages.

Guilt tabs

When you have a web browser open for weeks/months on end and a stack of tabs build up on the left which need to be read properly, in sobriety and daylight but the dank clickbait memes keep taking over and distracting you. Closing them is impossible, you will read them one day!

Jon's all out of RAM - he's got a serious case of guilt tabs building on. He's spending all his time on Reddit.
