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.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.
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.
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.
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.
∞
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.
69 (okay actually it was 67 but I opened a few more to make it the funny number)
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
24 on my mobile browser. Not too bad, really.
Never more than ten. Currently, seven.
Zero across my phone and desktop at the moment. Having more than around 5 tabs open at once does not sit well with me.
None. I open as many as I need then close every single one of them before closing my browser. That also includes my phone browser
I organize my tabs by topic window (small project, chunk of work for a larger project, related idea) then kick them into onetab as a bundle with a short description when I'm done with whatever it is I needed them for.
I typically have 5-30 tabs open in topic windows at any time but I can open onetab and ctrl-f to find anything I've saved over the last 7 or 8 years. There must be 5000 tabs in there at this point.
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.
Eleven. Kinda felt like that was too many though.
mostly less than five.
but if I'm programming it's around 50-70
16, counting this one that I'm about to close.
If I leave a tab open for more than a couple of days, I bookmark it and then close it.
On my phone I have 4 tabs but on my laptop I have 4 windows open each having 10 tabs open
one
Eight.
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.
I've set the browser to close all tabs when I close the broswer. So whenever I start, I start fresh. Doesn't seem to result in a mess.
7 at most
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.
Three windows, with 7, 4 and 1 tab respectively.
Too many. And I have honestly no idea.
6
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....
Android: 82 active, I-lost-count-after-90 inactive
I'm annoyed if I have more than 1 or 2 open.
Only time I open more is when I am downloading a big thing split into multiple files and I can only download a couple at a time due to the file host's BS.
One
Personal: right now I have 6 open. I might get up to 15-20 if I'm going down a rabbithole of some sort.
On a side note, Windows 11 finally put in an option to go back to normal Windows taskbar buttons so I can actually read tab titles from the taskbar:
Work (software engineer): sometimes dozens if I'm deep in the weeds with loads of reference pages open/etc.
I dunno like 25 in two windows.
On my personal Firefox, five pinned and usually 3-4 more. On my work Firefox, six pinned and 4-6 more in one window, and probably another 6-10 on a window in the other monitor.
If I can't see at least part of the page title on each tab, I start feeling anxious. I do a lot of bookmarking, sending to Pocket, etc.
Can recommend the Vivaldi browser.
It has some really neat tab management, worth checking out at least for people who hoard tabs 🫣
About five, maybe six most of the time.
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.
:D (I'm using my phone)
