The best I've managed so far is to run separate instances of Firefox with the same Sync Account which appear as separate 'devices'. Nightly with a different icon and theme makes it obvious which is which.
This way if I come across something interesting I want dig into further on my own time, I can bookmark it as well as 'Send Tab To Device -> Home' or 'Phone' depending on where I want to be and what environment I want to have available when I see it later (e.g. read only, or hands on).
Yes, I may be hoarding a lot of tabs but that's a separate issue...
It took the victim so long to figure out what was causing it, that it made it so much funnier.
I think this might be getting at what they mean by 'change of scene', but it's probably not possible to prove exactly what's happening since it's subjective.
As an experiment you can do yourself to highlight this effect, go to you bathroom and look into the mirror with your face almost touching it, staring at the point between your eyes.
Try not to move your eyes at all and relax them, even if it feels like they might be moving off-target. Eventually your whole 'view' should subtly change, maybe blur and come into and out of seeming focus as your brain tries to interpret the noisy input it's getting (since nothing should be changing, the only difference in the input is noise) and may refocus your mental imagery/minds eye at showing you what it thinks you're looking at.
With so many super old tools available, it seems like it could be hard to tell which projects have kept up with modern expectations for ease of configuration and use. That and digging past all the buzzword marketing talk aimed at non-technicals.
Kind of like if you turned off styles and used the inspect feature of your browser but with all it's mouse-over highlights and guidelines turned on at once.
Is everyone else developing everything on their local machines?
