If I leave a tab open for more than a couple of days, I bookmark it and then close it.

[–] wjrii@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

Eleven. Kinda felt like that was too many though.

[–] lvxferre@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] ctag@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 2 years ago

That's a good number!

[–] SHamblingSHapes@lemmy.one 3 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Zero. I don't have a browser open, just a phone app.

Never more than ten. Currently, seven.

[–] creditCrazy@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

On my phone I have 4 tabs but on my laptop I have 4 windows open each having 10 tabs open

[–] punkwalrus@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

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.

Thank you for the links!

[–] Lmaydev@programming.dev 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

None. I bookmark stuff if I need to come back.

No more than around 10, I actively try to keep the number of tabs I have in check. Sometimes I quit the browser and reopen tabs again as a way clear my head.

[–] ctag@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 2 years ago

The zen method. I dig it.

[–] Krzd@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

probably around 300, split into 2 windows, one "main" and one that's effectively my YouTube to watch list

[–] oxideseven@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Why not add them to the watch later list?

I dunno like 25 in two windows.

[–] Fitik@fedia.io 2 points 2 years ago

:D (I'm using my phone)

[–] DarkThoughts@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Too many. And I have honestly no idea.

[–] JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago
[–] 2xsaiko@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 years ago

Three windows, with 7, 4 and 1 tab respectively.

[–] furycd001@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

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....

[–] rip_art_bell@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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'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.

[–] Newtra@pawb.social 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I just did a big cleanup! I think it's down to about 40 on my work computer and 70ish on my computer.

Don't ask about the phone I'm typing this on... It's a lost cause.

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.
