    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.

    4 windows with 36 tabs on my desktop, 29 tabs on my phone browser. In my defense I’m shopping for a pillow and need to compare and find something that will work. It’s not going well because it is nearly impossible to find anything that isn’t cheap Chinese shit nowadays. Even the expensive “top brand” products not ordered from Amazon end up being low quality crap.

    5k tabs
    SPd1wPOCpxgWVCF
    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.

      Legitimate question - just how do you accumulate 5K tabs? Did you just never close any tabs, like ever?

        Something like that. At first I opened tabs for ”This sounds interesting I will read / watch it later” or ”I’ll probably need it later” This got me to ~300 - 800 tabs but then it became a joke, I just left tabs open knowing full well where not needed. Some times keeping all tabs open payed off like, using the search feature to find back to a project I left off. This happened very rarely.

    As someone who is anal about closing tabs, the answers in this thread hurt my soul.

    Genuine question, why so many tabs? What are you using them all for??

      I’m not too happy about them either. To some extent I think I avoid organizing them because leaving them as tabs makes them more “pressing” for me to some day get to reading. I’m like a failed data hoarder/archivist.

      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.

      Tabs I want to get back to later but never do is why I’m in the 1000+ camp

    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!

    5-6 per open project at work and other work, so, about a thousand.

    Really about 50-80 in 20 windows because I’ve only just learned of tab groups.

    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.
