Zero. I think I’m the odd one out here. I have a habit of closing all tabs once I’m done, always have.
I dig it, start fresh each time.
Exactly. I cannot comprehend people with dozens of windows with thousands of them. How do you find literally anything at that point?
I usually close all, sometimes if I start a long video I'll keep it open and paused until I come back to watch more of it. But that's just one, and just because that site won't remember where I left off, and I don't want to memorize what the timestamp is. I will have to refresh the page to get it to resume loading the video, but I can remember the timestamp for the 2 seconds it takes to reload and click back to it. But I'll forget if I have to come back hours later.
my firefox app gave up counting and just shows an infinity symbol :(
That's all I ever see on my wife's phone in Chrome. Just a smiley face. Personally it bugs the shit out of me. I close any unwanted tabs.
hey I saw that as well on my wife’s chrome on phone, it’s really scary
That's.. kinda scary. How much RAM do you have?
5k tabs
At 1k tabs firefox was snappy and responsive, but at 5k tabs it was bad, very unstable, buggy and sluggish.
Firefox would crash often even doing simple tasks, some times it took 2 or 3 tries to open firefox. scrolling through all the tabs a couple of minutes.
But all good things must come to an end. Now I close any extra tabs, have 5 - 30 tabs open.
Who are you so wise in the ways of tabs?
I think this is a generational question. I'm anal about tabs being left open like a light in the house being on
Fun fact: if you open more than 100 tabs in chrome (at least on android), it no longer shows the number of open tabs, it just says ":D".
If it's incognito tabs, it says ";)".
I haven't seen a number in years. This means I'd have to count manually which I'm not going to do. Hope this answers your question sufficiently.
On Firefox it's an infinity symbol.
100 incognito tabs
You're picky indeed, my friend.
You should get vertical tabs on your browser. Tree style tab for Firefox is pretty good.
I prefer Sidebery, but vertical tabs of any sort are the way to go. Plus userChrome.css to nuke the top tab bar.
100's. It's easy when using a tool like tree tabs.
I have several different ongoing projects with different avenues of research and I use it like a temporary store until I organise and store them.
Had 300 on my laptop a while ago, finished up a project which let me drop it down to 160.
On my desktop I have 1,300 or so. Both of them on a single Firefox window with Sidebery
How do people manage to have more than 6 tabs open? What is this talk about 500-1000+?
I do when researching buying a product, having different tabs open comparing different models, with each their different stores and a bunch of reviews. You can easily get more than 20.
Same with researching a science topic.
But after being done, those tabs get closed. I rather start with a fresh browser each time.
136
Most are unloaded. Using Firefox and sidebery on Linux with 32GB of RAM.
Zero. Maybe it's the OCD, but I never ever leave open a tab I'm not actively using, even if it means I open and close the same few tabs every five minutes for 8 hours every day.
Yeah, probably the ocd lmao.
I just closed 47. All of them Amazon...
My best friend is having a babby...
Xmas...
Starting a small business and tools are needed...
I just moved to south Florida, and the bugs are the size of house cats, so I require a salt shotgun...
SO. MANY. HOLIDAY. DEALS.
Like I've never been a shopping addict, but I had a budget of about $1000 for all of that, and I blew through it QUICK.
I could see how it could be addictive, but I do know when to walk away.
This one. I used to have a bunch of tabs pinned but having to restore them frequently just became a hassle, so I added them to my bookmarks.
I mean I love tabs, use em all the time. But currently my computer has just 1 open.
I don't use em as bookmarks to get back to. People seem to just hoard them. And for no reason.
You can't tell me there's a good reason to keep hundreds open. It's just laziness at that point.
More than I can count thats for sure.

A few hundred. At the end of a “project/idea/thing” I’ll bookmark the entire set, dated, described, and close them all at once, things always come back in need later. It’s very satisfying.
For normal day to day browsing I have a window with about 15 pinned tabs that I just cycle through in the morning catching up on stuff and then close that window.
69 (okay actually it was 67 but I opened a few more to make it the funny number)
Zero. Not using a browser right now but I usually only have 1-2. Anything more than 6 tabs open and I start getting turned around.
At current count, 911. I used to sit around 3000 but managed to shave it down, now it's creeping back up.
Too many things I want to download or read later and not as much time as I used to have. I have been making an effort to use alternative methods though such as bookmarks, YouTube playlists, or just, you know, doing the thing in the moment.
I use a browser extension that closes the least recently used tab after 15 minutes. It stops closing when it reaches five for the current window.
I don't think I'm missing anything.
Bare minimum is 7 cus they are pinned. These are tabs I reference constantly. 2 for monitoring servers, 2 for emails, 2 for chat, 1 for lofi girl.
After that it's just based on the current project. So anywhere from 1 for browsing to 20 while doing research.
Add another 7 if you include my work computer for the various sites I work out of.
I try to close anything not currently used quite often and just store things in bookmarks.
After closing a dozen left over from looking up various topics over the last few days, 164 tabs, some of which are probably 5 years old. I swear I'll look at them someday!
It fluctuates as I'm researching a topic to me snapping out of it and realizing "damn that's a lot of tabs" and closing pretty much all of them.
So it usually goes from around 30 or something, down to 3 or 5 and it repeats.
On my phone I do actually have 1,500 since my browser opens another one everytime I use search on the home screen
Zero across my phone and desktop at the moment. Having more than around 5 tabs open at once does not sit well with me.
Usually not more then 30 before I close most of them with "Close all tabs to the right".
I have browsing history so don't need tabs.
