I'm going to get around to reading those any time now.

I prefer emotional support Firefox tabs

I've just counted and I have 74 Firefox windows open... god knows how many tabs that is...
- Yes Mr President, I have found the source of climate change
- You might want to talk to a therapist.

😐

blink twice if you’re in danger
- I am the danger!
Damn this gives me anxiety but makes me feel better at the same time.
- It's cut off because it's 1204
  
  FYI Auto tab discard is what allows this monstrosity to exist. I've hit 5k tabs before Firefox freezes or crashes on my decade old i7 with 16gb ram.
I mean 8 windows alone are anoying enough. How are you supposed to find your main one, without circulating through all of them?
- Each window serves a different purpose, and tabs in each window are usually grouped together so that they're somewhat related.
- 1 Windows alone is also annoying, that's why I use Linux
Gimme a Tabs To Date counter
holy shit

Only 27?

You're a normal, functional person.

My wife taught that there was a limit to the number of tabs you could have on Safari on an iphone. I had no clue that was possible.

Firefox: you have ♾️ tabs because why bother counting above 100

It happens so faaaast

27? My phone has so many tabs open that it only shows a ":D" as the number.

Have... Have I found my people?
Firefox on mobile says "∞".
.....
I counted the tabs on the phone browser I use for reading user submitted stories...471 tabs in total...
More than I thought.
- How long did it take to count them
I just did a purge and I'm down to 4. It'll be interesting to see how fast it gets back to :D
- 13.4 days.

fixed

That's more like it.
- Missed a 0.

I use Firefox and I'm kind of old school, I don't usually leave tabs open.

I just have a bookmark folder for temporary bookmarks. All 500 of them.

And here's me who uses tab groups but ends up putting most of my random tabs in random tab groups so it ends up being unorganised
- Stop attacking me and my "ToDo Sort" bookmark folder... >:(

27? Those are rookie numbers.

I believe I have between 100 and 200 open tabs. That’s just on my main browser. I’ll get back to them, I swear

I'm actually, actively using that much. They're all about Nextcloud, Nginx, Gitlab, Plex, etc. Docs, issues, tutorials, wikis.
- Same. Well I'd have to add pihole, retropie, various book list, a doom wad project, and countless how to do x on Mint pages. 90 tabs in Firefox atm. I'm happy because it's under 100 'cos the ∞ symbol annoys me.

Rookie numbers

Should be moving to Firefox, chrome is like a toxic girlfriend that's evil to the core but tries to keep you with gaslighting

I would love to go back to Firefox, but ironically Edge is better at syncing things regularly for me. And I need that sync so that I don’t need to have all the 50 or so tabs on my phone too.
Knew this would be here.
- It should be "Browser tabs"

I gave up on tab management ages ago. Current window has 144 tabs, with a total of 5670 tabs spread across 50 windows.

I swear I don’t have a problem, I can stop any time I want >.>

I mean this genuinely; how do you even navigate that many tabs? Like, if you are honest with yourself can you truthfully say that you can easily find what you are looking for between 50 windows with an average of more than 100 tabs each? I max out at like 30 tabs between a few windows and I find myself lost when navigating them
- I'd assume Firefox, where when you start entering an address in your nav bar, it first suggests already open tabs to switch to.
- Firefox, but I use the tree style tabs addon. Brings all of them into a vertical sidebar, and I can collapse and organize them easily.
  
  A large chunk of the tabs are projects that I will “definitely revisit one day I swear” usually contained into their own window.
Finally someone who can compete with my 1100 tabs in 50 windows! About time I found some competition :-D
- I miss when my tabs were that low…

It's funny seeing a tweet of someone I know irl on Lemmy.

But as I told him when he first posted this 27 tabs is nothing. I've had hundreds. Firefox doesn't even flinch the absolute Chad of a browser it is.

Firefox is better about it, but it doesn't stop me from having several GB of RAM eaten up by all my tabs and windows.

27? I've got around 80 right now and 30,000 bookmarks.

You left off a 0

yeah 27 is bush league tabs

I have over 300

Permanently Deleted

I am more of a emotional support bookmark guy

And now flushing on exit makes me feel a part of a minority.

I had to start using bookmarks again because I had tabs open for months

Now this is one I can't relate to. Keeping browser tabs open when I'm not using them bothers the hell out of me.

More like "yes, all :D"

27?? My phone browser has 4x that alone....

...27 would be an accomplishment for me... I have tabs in the hundreds

Stop normalizing Chrome lol

My former coworker had 3 browsers with at least 50 tabs open each

Why would you do that to me... :(
Don't bash my 20 tabs.

Permanently Deleted

Between all my devices, I probably have more like 27^27

That's 4.43426488243e+38, so yeah.

You can use Stash Tab extension and move the shame to a place you don't see near your face constnatly while ignoring it lol. And because it saves as different tabs (under date and time, although you might be able to edit the title name), it becomes a bit less overwhelming to come back to.

But yes, only at mobile I got around 200 tabs :(

I just use bookmarks for stuff I want to keep more than one sitting

what’s helped me the most is setting up a cron job that wipes my hard drive every half hour. so far it has really reduced my emotional dependency on web browsers

I only have 19 tabs open total counting this one and I feel like that's too much.

I will never understand the need for a shit load of tabs for personal use. Work/school stuff, sure, but having tabs open for stuff "in case I need it later" is insane. Bookmark it.

Not important enough to bookmark, too important to close.

Pinning a tab hits the middle ground between these.
- How is something not important enough to bookmark? It's not a permanent action. You can even create folders.
I have vertical tabs, so I can see ~30 tabs clearly on one window. Long time non-visited tabs also use no resources. Bookmarking would just be one more click, moving the tab somewhere not easily visible.
- My bookmarks are clearly visible and take only a single click to open. If you didn't have a ton of tabs just sitting there, maybe opening a new one wouldn't "move it somewhere not easily visible."
If you go to a library and study, you have some desk space in front of you, would you spread out your stuff (e.g. notes, textbook, laptop, supplementary books) to try and get it all out?

Likewise, does your work desk (say at home) have a bunch of stuff on it that you don't use moment-to-moment, but you keep them in close proximity because in the event that you do need them, the effort (or energy) expenditure of having it contribute to clutter is less than the amount it would take to get it or find it in the event you needed it?
- Sure, but I don't consider the less than a second of waiting for the page to load to be an inconvenience. Maybe you're saving milliseconds by having your bukkake of tabs, but I don't need to reference things that quickly.
I'm scared if I bookmark it I'll forget about its existence or it'll get lost in the thousands of other bookmarks I have
- How would an equal amount of tabs solve this?

Firefox tells me I have ∞ lmao
