  • Why do you guys open so many tabs? I normally have one tabs open. Most tabs I opened should be 4 tabs.

  • I usually keep four or five tabs open, depending on what I'm doing. I like to be able to switch through websites freely, but at the same time avoid too much clutter. If my tabs bar gets too populated, I usually start cutting it down when it gets around 10 or 15 tabs. Sometimes I forget about them and leave one open for hours at a time even if I didn't have anything left to do with the site, haha. n__n;

    I want to know how you maintain using multiple websites simultaneously, because like 99% of people I talk to always have multiple tabs open. :p

    Well, I dont open youtube or other social network such as facebook or twitter. When visiting a forums, I open two tabs. One, homepage. Second, thread that interest me.

    In the past, I used to work with dozens of tabs. Highest amount I had ever opened would be around twenty-two, haha. Now, though, I limit myself only to about three to four at a time. My connection's pretty bad, and having too many tabs makes it even worse, somehow, unfortunately.

    Too many tabs and I get overwhelmed. I try to keep my tabs at maybe 4 or 5 tabs open max. I can't think of any reason why you would need more than 15 max open.

  • At the moment I have six open, but I never have more than 10, unless I'm using Chrome in which I sometimes pin tabs. As for records, I used to use GPX+ a lot back in the day and in those early years before they revamped the feeder thing, I easily had 200+ tabs open at a stretch.

  • The use of multiple manly tabs and windows is a mark of a true manly man. As the Manly Man of Steel, I currently have approximately 420 manly tabs open across 6 manly windows, although at last count on my extremely manly desktop I had over 1000 manly tabs open in a single manly window.

  • I'd say I usually have anywhere from 3 to 5 tabs open at any time at the very least. 10 or so during more active browsing times. At most I can't have more than maybe....20-ish open at once.

    Not because my computer can't handle it. But after that point I start getting personally bothered by too many tabs being open, so I'll start trying to find anything that I can close just to keep the number down.

  • 104.. @_@

    I usually have a maximum of 7 maybe and that's usually pushing it. My average is 2-4 because I'm a neat freak and close tabs I am not using at the time. One of my friends always seems to have 20+ open and it drives me nuts to see her computer every time since I want to close them. A lot of them she won't even use but just keeps around to look back on weeks later.

    Oh gosh, I need to be part of the Too Many Tabs anonymous. I always have a boatload of tabs open. I blame Tumblr. :I It's pretty common for me to have 30-50 tabs open at a time. I love how it doesn't even slow down my PC.

    A couple months ago, I had to install some more memory in my PC because everything was sloooow. XD

    Oh my god you guys are literally insane. More than 3 tabs just sounds like utter madness to me!

    So with that I usually only have about 2 open... which consists of either tumblr or PC and Youtube. At current I have 3 open : PC, tumblr, and Youtube. It's rare that I'll use tumblr and PC at the same time but they're pretty much a given. Anyhow, I get confused when there's 4+ tabs open, so I keep it down to an amount I can handle. uvu;

    .. No but seriously you guys are nuts.

    I have about 8 tabs open (1 pinned for music and 7 normal). In Opera you used to be able to stack tabs, but they've removed it in their new Chrome-based versions - I miss it a lot.

    Sometimes when I browse websites like tvtropes.com and other wiki-like sites, I can find myself with up to 30 tabs at once. Never really find the use for any more.

  • Well, I'm down to about 118 right now (most of them dormant, mind), down from a peak of 150 yesterday afternoon which made me realize I should pare down on my inactive tabs. I think about 20 are currently active, which is a typical number for me. Once I get these inactive tabs pared down, I probably won't go any higher than 40 at any given time, and that'll probably be due to Reddit.

    I would never keep more than 4 tabs open at once... It just would seem like complete madness after that. I cannot see why you would need more than 4 at least.
