Had 300 on my laptop a while ago, finished up a project which let me drop it down to 160.

On my desktop I have 1,300 or so. Both of them on a single Firefox window with Sidebery

Have you used TreeStyleTab? I'm wondering how it compares with Sidebery

[–] technohacker 1 points 11 months ago

I started with TST actually! I can't remember the exact reasons but I thiiink I switched over to Sidebery for better/faster session restores

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

Wow and I thought I had a lot. I salute you.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Finally someone who had a decent amount! Last time I checked I had 1100!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

That's a heck of a lot of tabs there. Good luck with them!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

But why?

And how many of those can be closed?

[–] technohacker 2 points 11 months ago

Cuz I use them as a way to keep tabs (heh) on different projects I'm involved in. Tree tabs are much faster for me to organize into folders compared to bookmarks since they're already part of my flow of using tabs in the first place :)

That being said, I end up using them more as a way to search through pages I had opened before, using the URL bar. Browser history is a little more finicky to search in that regard

As for how many I can close, I tend to close tabs once I'm done with something in a project (though some tabs I keep around if i find them to be useful beyond that specific project). I also have a bunch of tabs open for music and videos that I want to share with my friends when they get time which could be closed once I share them
