Uhm you guys have more than 1 tab opened on a regular basis? I literally only open more when researching something.
Why am I still hearing about fucking chrome in 2026
Only 27? I habe 2700.
The reason I need my 96GB of RAM
Both your Chrome tabs better be important.
I’ve slowly been going through mine during odd little moments, went from 1,900 to 1,200.
It’s easy to get rid of the first few hundred but after that there’s a lot more bookmarking/mind mapping legwork. I know I won’t be just flicking through these tabs, every few dozen is related to another (often DOA) project.

Schliass dei täbbs du seggl :)
Glad I saw this, time to hit the comics tab. New Oglaf just dropped!
27 isn't a lot...
Rookie numbers
27 chrome tabs? Nah mate, you should see my 15 Vivaldi workspaces with between 10 and 78 tabs each.
Definitely rookie numbers, I'm somewhere around 1100 Firefox tabs atm...
I can't do more then 5. Gotta close the browser so it purges and start over
Yea, I think this depends on when you grew up learning your browsing habits. Back in my day lol when tabs came around, the computers could only handle a small handful before bringing the computer to its knees. Now the browsers don’t actively load the other tabs but I still can’t stand to have more than maybe 10 tabs when I’m researching something before I get an eye twitch.
Shit, I never thought about it that way, but you may be onto something here. Not only tabs were heavy, they weren’t isolated into processes in most early implementations (IIRC that was the big Chrome selling point early on) and could crash your whole browser, so it made me extremely nervous opening too many tabs as I could lose it all with one error.
Still not used to having tabs. I think makes me old.
It's not even that. Like how do you have more than 10 tabs? I mean physically how do you interact with them, the button get too small.
Anyway I think it's much more sensible to have a 100 website saved in my bookmarks
Ctrl+tab / Ctrl+shift+tab There's also Ctrl plus a number but that only works for the first 10
At some point the buttons don't get smaller and you can scroll them if they exceed the width of your screen. At least some browsers also give you tab groups so it stays a bit more organized.
Yeah, tab hording is pathological and should be added to the DSM lol
624 checking in here. Firefox is starting to crumble under the weight. I blame YouTube
27? I have over 200.... Do I need help?
Am I a boomer for just bookmarking things. I hate having a bunch of tabs open
Same. I have well organized bookmarks. 10 Pinned tabs for the essentials, and whatever tabs are necessary for what I'm doing.
When I see someone's computer with multiple browser windows open with 100s of tabs each, it just seems so overwhelming. You can't even read the title of the tab when there's that many open.
Chrome?
Ew.Chrome, in this dystopia?
I got rid oft 300 (Firefox) tabs today. Now I've just got 400 left between Firefox and LibreWolf.
Down to 27, that's inspiring! I hope one day I can keep it that low. 🥹
holy shit yall some big tab goblins
checking the comments to see how many tabs people have only to realize you have more than all of them combined 💀
maybe i do have issues
I started using multiple browsers to keep the sessions separated. I now have like 4 browsers with over a hundred tabs on each. And that's just on my phone!
they have browser containers for you now. tab groups
I don't have that many tabs open. I keep them neat and tidy!
Now, the bookmarks... 😩
I genuinely use between 100-200 most of the time.
Like, what are you doing that only requires 27?
I paid for the computer memory, I'm going to use all the computer memory!
I only have 176 open now because I accidentally closed them all a few months ago and couldn't get them back.
i have an addon called session buddy that makes regular backups of all my open tabs. i must protect my precious tabs
Vertical tabs are a godsend.
My ADHD swings the other way, each tab uses more of my personal brain RAM, and thus decreases my overall performance.
I feel seen.
I have organized folders of bookmarks for things I go back to, ":D" tabs meaning >99, and a separate unorganized bookmark folder with a collection of tabs from an old phone that made me realize I will never go back to bookmarked "to read" tabs bc I already can't get thru the collection that's open.
I've got ":D" tabs open and I'd rather not know what the number greater than 99 is.
With only 27 your problems can't be that bad
I haven’t used chrome for a while. Is it still a RAM whore?
