Finally back down to 14 tabs, still too embarrassed to show anyone

That's not too many.

Before it broke, I had 58 tabs open on my phone, currently I have only 19. Although on desktop I generally don't cross 10.
But my aunt surpassed everything.
Her Chrome (Android) doesn't even show a number anymore. It's just ":D" -

How is that embarrassing? I have literally 639 tabs right now, across 39 windows. Just live your life as you see fit.

Tree Style Tabs makes this much better. Horizontal tabs don't really work for >10 tabs. Vertical tabs are the only way to live.

Those G's are what you should be embarrassed about, not the amount of tabs. ◉⁠‿⁠◉

Tab hoarding is just poor man's bookmarks.

Oh wait, you're on Gelbooru. Nevermind, I get it.

That's a lot. I sometimes get naughty and open 6

One of my friends is the worse tab hoarder I've ever seen.

Dude even had a script on his PC to actively backup his tabs for the inevitable moment his browser or PC would crash

I know someone's gonna say 'doesn't Firefox backup tabs automatically in the event of a crash anyway?' and you'd be correct

But ONE TIME it didn't and left my buddy distraught which is why he has multiple fail-safes now.

Y'all have terrible tab hygiene. I have 0 tabs 99% of the time, phone and desktop. Need something for later? Write it down. Once you're past so many tabs, you'll never look at it again.

I’ve got 167 tabs right now, and more on my laptop.

Many tabs would be less of a problem in Firefox if the tab handling was better.

I use Firefox on principle, but tbh, Chrome's and esp. Vivaldi's tab handling are miles ahead.

'Don't know about tabs alone but I regularly have 20-30 windows open. Many of those have more than 3 tabs. Firefox starts to get a little slow beyond that count on my machine.

No shame in that. My phone's at 305 tabs. I'll look random things up throughout the day and sometimes I'll find a longer article that I'd like to read later. But I hate reading on my phone. So it just hangs out until my next tab purge, which is perhaps a yearly event.

Sidebery And userchrome.css to hide the default tab bar

Few feelings are more freeing than closing basically all of them down. Usually I don't even miss them, essentially all upside.

Some web applications force me to open their screens in separate tabs and windows, by making the screens remove any filtering on revisit by back button. And thus I have 20 tabs open that all start with the same meaningless word.

I'm at 5k ±300 currently. Tab groups and containers for organization. I used tree for a while but all the plugins I've tried are janky and lack integration. This isn't a whole lot better but the container integration is nice for things with accounts.

I use multiple windows for multiple purposes. When I'm done with one of the windows, I shut it down. I find it to be a decent organisational method, although I still end up with about 20ish tabs regularly

This hurts me on a spiritual level. I would die if I had 14 tabs open. I used to be bad about having too many tabs open, but now it just kills me inside.

I was recently forced to start my tabs from scratch again because I closed my main Firefox window while I had a private browsing window open. I finally adopted simple tab groups at home (been using it for work for a while) and was able to restore a bunch from history. But it's annoying that Firefox just overwrites/discards your tabs if there's another window open, especially a private browsing one where it's not saving anything anyways.

At least show 14 tabs of something other than porn, maybe you'll be less embarrassed that way?

I have developed a sense to bookmark all of my tabs when there are too many. I store all of them in a folder and later I order the tabs in the folder in my other folders or just delete them. I can't live with more than 6 tabs opened because I just forget why I want them.

I have 7 counting this one on my phone. Work laptop is probably about 12, all of which are used almost every day. Home PC is usually around 10 with basically all used daily

I don't understand why people feel this way.

I have a lot of interests and things I do, if I see something I like online, I keep the tab open. This way, I've accumulated a lot of tabs, I've allocated a small amount of time in my daily activites just before sleeping in which I chip away at different tabs. That way I learn new things daily and get to close a lot of tabs. I can say I have over a thousand open tabs.

That said, I have a lot of browsers. I can literally say I collect browsers, but they have to be Foss or non-chromium. On my linux install, I have 12 browsers, I generally use or have open tabs in 8 of them, the rest I use from time to time. On my previous arch-install, I had over 15. On my lineageOS, I also have 12 and I'm still getting more from F-droid. I use around 6 on here.

Like I said, I group my tabs by interests, i.e tech, education and open new article depending on the topic in each tab. I use LinkSheet on android and Junction on linux. If I like a tab and want to keep it around, I use Native Alpha on android and Tangram on linux to create web apps for them. I open and save wikipedia articles on the Wikipedia apps on both OS's.

Vertical tabs when?

I'd like to tell you that I can have 500+ tabs open in a few hours long session. You are way saner than me.
