"Close all of your “major” browser tabs and browser itself. "

I disagree.
PHP, Python and to some extent Java docs can be downloaded so we can read them offline. But most of the documentation of other programming languages/frameworks/libraries/tools are only available online such as : C#, ASP.net core, React, Angular, Vue, Node.js, etc.
CMIIW, Django and Flask docs are available online only. So is Laravel, the most popular PHP framework. Not to mention all of Node.js framework.
Not only when we are in the phase of learning, but sometimes when coding, we still need to read the documentation to find certain features, syntax, etc.
I can say, these documentation are friends to programmer. I need them, not only when learning, but also sometimes when coding.

Um... I'm quoting major. Because in this context it's tabs like Netflix, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc... All the things that most people do not just "always open" and directly pined in the browser, i.e. are the most popular – major.

I will correct this point in the article, of course, but you are the first to notice 🤷
