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....

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.

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.

Seldom more than 5 or 6 before using Firefox to 'close tabs to right'. It keeps a short history of recently visited URLs in the toolbar, and a deeper, searchable 'library' of visited sites going way back. Longer term interests I save to Bookmarks.

I'm on my phone so none.

Apps however...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Apps ought to count, given so many of them should have just been a webpage in the first place.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

About five, maybe six most of the time.

4 windows with 36 tabs on my desktop, 29 tabs on my phone browser. In my defense I'm shopping for a pillow and need to compare and find something that will work. It's not going well because it is nearly impossible to find anything that isn't cheap Chinese shit nowadays. Even the expensive "top brand" products not ordered from Amazon end up being low quality crap.

36 tabs for a pillow is a pretty thorough investigation. Good on you.
