I have a love-hate relationship with my dishwasher. I love that it saves me time, of course, but I have sensory issues.

I have never been in any household with a dishwasher (mine, family, friends, AirB&B) where the dishes haven't (slowly) lost their glaze, especially glasses. I still hand wash all my glasses, as I cannot stand the feel when the outer glaze starts to wear down.

Rough-textured crockery fares a lot better in a DW, but I hate the feel and sound of knives and forks on such dishes (I really, really wish I wasn't wired this way!!).

I've heard the usual defences and recommendations, but I feel like people are either in denial, have non-smooth crockery or are just a lot less sensitive to it. I installed a dishwasher around two years ago, after years of hand washing. I live in Scotland (very soft water), and I have avoided lemon-based detergents, as recommended, but it still happened.

Are there any alternatives to crockery? Resin? Some kind of high-quality, weighted plastic?

Hello, I'm looking for an extension (or possibly even a native Chrome feature I'm unaware of) that lets me quickly close one window/instance with multiple tabs and then quickly open another.

For example, I could have several active projects.

While I'm working on Project One, I want to keep the other projects closed, otherwise Chrome gets really bogged down.

Then I need to switch to Project Two as I have a call with this client in an hour. I'd like to close all Project One tabs and open Project Two tabs in one or two clicks.

Is this possible? I'm also looking to do the same in Firefox.
