4 digit, chumps. Sit down, younguns, I have lessons to give.
There is a limit for max open tabs?
27? What an amateur…
Glances over at 3-digit Firefox tabs…
Rookie numbers, last time I closed my chrome tabs on my phone I had around 2k
Finally a surprise, damn!
HOW?? 2K TABS?? THATS LIKE 10 MOM PHONE AMOUNT OF TABS
Same, but also 3 more windows for good measure.
Only 3 digits? Send help.
Those are Rookie numbers. Got 67 tabs on mobile, and 6ish windows with 30-50 on my laptop. Not sure how many are on my desktop, but it’s spread across 3 browsers.
Tabs are just bookmarks for people who can afford RAM.
I swear I’m going to come back to this at some point
I currently have 306 tabs open in chrome on my phone. That might be about average for me if I had to guess.
At some point I exceeded 500, but I also have firefox simple tab groups (formerly known as panorama) so I’m usually not looking at a window of more than 100 at a time, and any tabs I haven’t visited since last launch aren’t loaded into ram until I click over to them so they behave more like bookmarks except instead of creating/organizing/cleaning up bookmarks in addition to tabs I just browse/organize/close tabs. Each rabbit hole I go down gets a tab group so if I’m done with a topic I can just close the whole group.
Pffffft. Only 27? I’ve maxed my allowed tabs on my phone browser several timed over, let alone my computer browser.
Also. Firefox >>> Chrome.
I never understood why people keep tabs open. If I’m not going to use this information in the next day or so, I just bookmark it and come back to it later.
I have 100+ tabs open at a time, but with the exception of a few pinned tabs the 100 tabs I have open today are not the 100 tabs I have open in a few days.
Solid advice in theory, but you should see the chaotic mess that is my bookmarks 😂
emotional support bookmarks. Actual bookmark are links on the desktop
But how do you tell the difference between things you’ll need in the next day, and things you just think you’ll need?
Real question, my phone has given up even counting the open tabs, please help.
If it has been a few days and I haven’t used it, it gets bookmarked.
You know, this has actually genuinely inspired me to add a new task to my end of week review. Maybe I can just start closing the pointless ones once a week and the habit will grow from there? We can but dream, we can but dream…
I do bookmarked lots of websites. Going back to maybe 10 years ago (when did firefox implement sync?). Some of them duplicated or cease to function. I also never open them again form bookmark.
With open tabs, at least I re-read them again, even if only to check if I still want to read them or to close them.
Maybe that’s just me, but I always delete tabs as a sign of: “OK, I found what I was looking for”. If not tho…
Yeah, tabs are like to do lists. This stays open until I complete the task, purchase, or learning journey I was on.
Only 27?
Why does everyone seem to be collecting browser tabs like they’re god damn crack? Any more than 3-5 is ridiculously overwhelming and I feel like I’m gonna have an aneurysm trying to find any information.
I pretty much have to use Firefox as it is the only browser that can handle the couple hundred tabs I have open.
Tree style tabs. Leaving 100 tabs open is a sign you don’t know how to use a computer.
Or, as in my case, know how to use a computer but have moderate to severe ADHD. Your sweeping generalisation borders on ableism tbh…
