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

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago (3 children)

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

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??

Eleven. Kinda felt like that was too many though.

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

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.

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

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

Never more than ten. Currently, seven.

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

16, counting this one that I'm about to close.

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.

Around 5 or 6 most the time. I can't manage more than that.

mostly less than five.

but if I'm programming it's around 50-70

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

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

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

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

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

24, including the one I opened for this thread.
