Can someone tell me the purpose of this? Why would anyone ever need this option?

“Man, I’m bored. I wish I knew which internet thingy to look at today. PFFT SCREW IT LET’S LOOK AT ‘EM ALL!”

What’s even worse is that it’s easier than it should be to accidentally click this option. You get to that drop-down menu by right-clicking on the “Bookmarks” button. So if you accidentally right click and then move your mouse down slightly while correcting your mistake to left click, you’re screwed.

At least I would be. 200+ suddenly opened tabs?

Okay, I guess there is an “oops, did you really mean to click that option, you stupid fart?” failsafe.

BUT STILL. WHY IS THIS A THING.

[Chrome just froze on me. It didn’t do anything else, haha.]
