how many tabs do you usually have open

[Sheep]

i've known people (cough boyfriend cough) who have what feels like a hundred tabs open at once, meanwhile i'm a neat freak and tend not to have more than 6-7. and 6-7 is high; usually only when I'm researching things. how about you guys??

If you count the tabs I need to have open for work (device management, time tracking, sometimes an interface for email anti-spam), 2-4 is pretty common. If I'm just browsing outside of work though, not usually more than one unless I'm actively looking something up and need to reference multiple pages at once.

Apparently near-future versions of Chrome are going to start significantly improving energy use so tab-hoarders may soon be able to squeeze an extra hour or two of battery life on portable devices (on Chrome, at least).

Almost never more than 2. I'm picky about this.

When I'm doing school work it does get crazy, and sometimes I end up with 10-15 tabs.

No more than 3 on my phone and I would say about between 5-7 on my laptop as I'm doing more on my laptop than I do on my phone.

In my phone, usually around 20. When it approaches 30, I start closing some. When it approaches 10, it's basically nothing so it's usually time to open some more! xD

In my laptop, I usually try to avoid it by having a WordPad file where I store all the links I'm planning to consult. It can get pretty big, but at least it's somewhat more organized and doesn't distract me when I'm coding.

everyday it starts off like 4 (twitter, youtube, twitch, reddit usually) but it ends up growing and sometimes i hit the point where firefox has to scroll between tabs. though i dont think i get past 20 anymore. my phone, usually no more than 10.

 

[Corrin]

Usually not many. This computer is downright geriatric

 

[Palamon]

Usually 5 at a time. Sometimes, though, I have a second session window open in my browser that's a separate session to bypass anti adblock filters. If we're counting that, then 6.

 

[KantoPikachu]

I am a neat freak so I typically keep about three windows open at a time.

 

[Tanya]

Usually have two if I'm not doing much.

 

[#Not Important]

Pretty sure I can easily hit the 40s when I'm researching. I've had 56 tabs of StackOverflow alone open before.

At any time, Stack overflow takes up half of my tabs lol

For years I refused to have more than 6 or 7 tabs open at once and then this year it fell apart and I tend to have, like, dozens, sometimes? Right now I have four different browser windows open and they all have between 3-10 tabs open. @_@ It's so frustrating but it feels like more work to consolidate them so I don't.

I think my problem was definitely allowing myself to open a new window instead of dealing with my already-open tabs and then just running into the same problem a day later. Hibernating whenever I go to bed instead of fully shutting down and cleaning out my tabs each night probably also doesn't help.

i keep around 5-7 tabs open so i feel comfortable

 

[Lumina]

4 - 7 for me. I typically keep Twitter/PC/reddit/whatever video I'm currently watching open at once, and then open more tabs for when I have something else to go look at.

 

[Kitty]

it varies for me, i tend to either have the right amount of 3-4 or way too much of 15-25 and call that adequate or even not enough depending on what i'm doing. i like how there's a group tabs feature on chrome officially now though so i can group similar sites together and mass exit by group which is very satisfying

 

[TrainerJacob]

3-5. (Google, Facebook, YouTube, PC/whatever else).
That's just on my Mac.
On my phone, I can have like 4-6 at times.

 

[Zero Seven]

It really depends on what I'm doing: researching something, I may have like 20. o_O

If I'm just browsing around, I may have only like 5-10 max.

 

[Lunar]

When I'm studying I can have maybe up to like 10? I'm generally pretty neat on it though and don't tend to go overboard any other time, I'd say here on PC is when I open up a few more as well.

 

[Emilia]

i try to keep it low, around 3-4
usually one for music, the rest is just whatever i feel like doing (mostly browsing twitter tho)

 

[Fairy]

Two windows open with 2-3 tabs each. One for Pokémon stuff and the other for Animal Crossing stuff. Sometimes I'll reach up to 5 tabs in my ACNH window if I'm selling Turnips. You know how it be.

If I'm on my phone / tablet it's only PC and Nookazon.
