2xsaiko, in How many tabs do you have open?

Three windows, with 7, 4 and 1 tab respectively.

Th4tGuyII, in How many tabs do you have open?

As someone who is anal about closing tabs, the answers in this thread hurt my soul.

Genuine question, why so many tabs? What are you using them all for??

@ctag@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

I’m not too happy about them either. To some extent I think I avoid organizing them because leaving them as tabs makes them more “pressing” for me to some day get to reading. I’m like a failed data hoarder/archivist.

penquin, in How many tabs do you have open?

None. I open as many as I need then close every single one of them before closing my browser. That also includes my phone browser

Eleven. Kinda felt like that was too many though.

lvxferre, in How many tabs do you have open?
@lvxferre@lemmy.ml avatar

Typically 1~10. Four right now (all four are Lemmy: inbox, another thread, front page, this thread)

I close them as the tabs bar feels cluttered and/or I see no reason to keep them open.

gravitas_deficiency, in If many extraterrestrial civilizations were nearby but trying to keep quiet, how would you suggest drawing them out?

They’re probably waiting for us to get past the Great Filter.

furycd001, in What companies have made your blacklist?
@furycd001@lemmy.ml avatar

Spotify & pretty much most music streaming services. I buy all my music directly from the artist whenever possible…

MrPoopbutt,

What sites/apps allow you to do this?

furycd001,
@furycd001@lemmy.ml avatar

Just go to the official website for whatever artist you like & there will most likely be a link that takes you to their official store or whatever…

First one that i know of is bandcamp. They let you download the files for use with your own player, they have many file extensions to choose from including MP3, FLAC, WAV, just to name a few that my normie ass recognizes. They also regularly lift their cut of purchases (usually on Fridays) so the artist will get all the money

Savaran, in How many tabs do you have open?

A few hundred. At the end of a “project/idea/thing” I’ll bookmark the entire set, dated, described, and close them all at once, things always come back in need later. It’s very satisfying.

For normal day to day browsing I have a window with about 15 pinned tabs that I just cycle through in the morning catching up on stuff and then close that window.

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…

  1. The way people use tabs is bizarre to me. My ex would have so many open that it was really difficult to navigate between them. Seems like a better idea to use features like bookmarks or reading list.
tun,

It depends on what you are doing.

I do programming and I need access to project management sites, communication sites, documetations (language and library) and tools sites opened.

When I am researching the topics I am not very familiar I usually read 4 or 5 sources. So in the middle of developing a feature I have at least tens of tabs.

When it combined with home lab servers, entainments, side readings and related readings I usually tends to end up with hundreds.

squiblet,
@squiblet@kbin.social avatar

I used to have 20-30 open at a time when I was doing the same things, but I can't imagine building up to hundreds. Maybe I'd leave them open for the next day, but generally I try to stay more organized than that. When you have hundreds of tabs open you can't even see the titles so I find it a lot more difficult to navigate between them.

tun,

Firefox and Sidebery let me do that.

Before that I have tabs opened in 3 or 4 windows each with 20 or 30 opened.

Honytawk,

Or just open multiple windows if you have multiple projects open.

ctag,
@ctag@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

I agree. I think it’s more of an organizational deficiency for me.

4

if tab not relevant to task then am close

What happens when you have more than 4 relevant tabs 🙃

sour,
@sour@kbin.social avatar

am only close irrelevant ones

punkwalrus, in How many tabs do you have open?
@punkwalrus@lemmy.world avatar

Usually about 10-30. It depends. I have a minimum of 6010 tabs open for stuff I check several times a day, like mail, news feeds, and such. Then I have a few working projects, like Google docs. Then some “temporary tabs” that expand from 10 to 30, as a reminder of tasks I have to complete or get back to someone on, only to shrink them down later in the day.

Quazatron, in How do I stop my cats from eating my plants?
@Quazatron@lemmy.world avatar

Stop buying delicious plants.

Or sacrifice one of your cats to appease the plant god. That should get the message through to the other cats.

Empricorn, in How many tabs do you have open?

24 on my mobile browser. Not too bad, really.

IndefiniteBen, in How many tabs do you have open?

100’s. It’s easy when using a tool like tree tabs.

I have several different ongoing projects with different avenues of research and I use it like a temporary store until I organise and store them.

ctag,
@ctag@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

I should go back to tree tabs. On my old laptop I got firefox properly messed up and got rid of a lot of addons.
