How many tabs do you have open?
And remember… it’s not a race!

Lmaydev, None. I bookmark stuff if I need to come back.
ctag, I envy your discipline.
Lmaydev, Yeah but my bookmarks likely massively outweigh your tabs haha
ctag, I tried keeping up with bookmarks before I entered this stage of tabbed life. I have 1378 bookmarks, almost all of them neglected at this point. Bookmarks are good though. How many do you have?

XEAL, 10 max per window: addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/dustman/
And no duplicate tabs on a window: addons.mozilla.org/…/duplicate-tabs-closer/
ctag, Thank you for the links!
art, 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.
ctag, That sounds like a healthy approach to web browsing. I dig it.
PixxlMan, I had over 2000 in Firefox. That’s when I decided to clear them…
ctag, All those tabs… Lost to time…

IndefiniteBen, 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.
ctag, I should go back to tree tabs. On my old laptop I got firefox properly messed up and got rid of a lot of addons.
Empricorn, 24 on my mobile browser. Not too bad, really.
punkwalrus, Usually about 10-30. It depends. I have a minimum of 6010 tabs open for stuff I check several times a day, like mail, news feeds, and such. Then I have a few working projects, like Google docs. Then some “temporary tabs” that expand from 10 to 30, as a reminder of tasks I have to complete or get back to someone on, only to shrink them down later in the day.
sour, 4
if tab not relevant to task then am close
kratoz29, What happens when you have more than 4 relevant tabs 🙃
sour, am only close irrelevant ones
squiblet,
- The way people use tabs is bizarre to me. My ex would have so many open that it was really difficult to navigate between them. Seems like a better idea to use features like bookmarks or reading list.
tun, It depends on what you are doing.
I do programming and I need access to project management sites, communication sites, documetations (language and library) and tools sites opened.
When I am researching the topics I am not very familiar I usually read 4 or 5 sources. So in the middle of developing a feature I have at least tens of tabs.
When it combined with home lab servers, entainments, side readings and related readings I usually tends to end up with hundreds.
squiblet, I used to have 20-30 open at a time when I was doing the same things, but I can't imagine building up to hundreds. Maybe I'd leave them open for the next day, but generally I try to stay more organized than that. When you have hundreds of tabs open you can't even see the titles so I find it a lot more difficult to navigate between them.
tun, Firefox and Sidebery let me do that.
Before that I have tabs opened in 3 or 4 windows each with 20 or 30 opened.
Honytawk, Or just open multiple windows if you have multiple projects open.
ctag, I agree. I think it’s more of an organizational deficiency for me.
furycd001, I usually have a minimum of 8 tabs open, but right now it’s something like 24. I’ve recently gotten into a bad habit of opening tabs & not getting around to them until maybe a week or two, maybe sometimes more. I really need to sort out my tab game & start being more productive…
Savaran, 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.
the_of_and_a_to, 1
lvxferre, Typically 1~10. Four right now (all four are Lemmy: inbox, another thread, front page, this thread)
I close them as the tabs bar feels cluttered and/or I see no reason to keep them open.
wjrii, Eleven. Kinda felt like that was too many though.
