    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.

      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.

        Based on the way you asked for help, I feel like you might need Marie Kondo to ask if each tab sparks joy. 😅

          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.

    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.

    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.

    I have 30 duck duck go tabs open rn. I keep trying to reduce them, but I feel like they’re important to keep up.

    I pretty much have to use Firefox as it is the only browser that can handle the couple hundred tabs I have open.

    I’m very good at keeping only a few tabs open and closing them when I’m done. I used my mums phone to look something up and chrome wouldn’t even give a tab count, just a smiley face…
