How many tabs do you have open?
And remember… it’s not a race!
And remember… it’s not a race!
art, Zero. Not using a browser right now but I usually only have 1-2. Anything more than 6 tabs open and I start getting turned around.
ctag, That sounds like a healthy approach to web browsing. I dig it.
Empricorn, 24 on my mobile browser. Not too bad, really.
penquin, 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
3TH4Li4, Usually one, maximum 10.
ctag, I admire your self control!
3TH4Li4, Look, it’s not self control. Too many tabs just scare me.
ctag, I’m scared of them too, it’s just too late for me haha.
regbin_, Just close them. Can always do another search when you really need it. It’ll sit in your history anyway.
ctag, I’ve never found searching browsing history to be very reliable. I guess it’s just a preference.
HeyThisIsntTheYMCA, (edited ) I use multiple profiles. Got both personal and work ones for both me and the wife, close the windows when they’re not active, and they are set to keep track of the tabs. But keeping them open? Hell no. And I’m retired now. It’s been six months since I’ve used the work profile.
If you want to do profiles (in Firefox), add -p to the shortcut’s target line, at least in windows. I think. It’s been a while since I set it up. It’s -p somewhere
Towerofpain11, I’m the same. Too many tabs confuses me and I start clicking around forgetting what I was doing. Keep it to a minimum.
SHamblingSHapes, Zero. I don’t have a browser open, just a phone app.
ctag, I’m still counting that as one. What app do you use and how do you like it?
SHamblingSHapes, Boost. I used Boost for Reddit, so this app for Lemmy feels very familiar.
I like how few taps it takes to switch accounts. I like how I can set my default feed and sort and it sticks where some other lemmy apps I tried frequently reset to a trending feed, gross.
I like the feature that allows me to apply a custom tag to users that only I can see. I use it to keep an eye on potential trolls. If I have a person tagged as “MAGA troll”, I know not to engage with them but to grab the popcorn and enjoy the ride.
ctag, Thanks!
AmosBurton, 68(I realize how close it is) on my phone. My PC gets shut down daily so it cannot accumulate too many but normally I have 2 browsers with ~4-8 tabs unless I’m researching something, then it’s 193,646,691
ctag, I definitely empathize with the research tab balloon.
creditCrazy, On my phone I have 4 tabs but on my laptop I have 4 windows open each having 10 tabs open
kuneho, mostly less than five.
but if I’m programming it’s around 50-70
regbin_, Around 5 or 6 most the time. I can’t manage more than that.
ctag, That’s a good number.
corsicanguppy, 5-6 per open project at work and other work, so, about a thousand.
Really about 50-80 in 20 windows because I’ve only just learned of tab groups.
tiredofsametab, 16, counting this one that I'm about to close.
seaQueue, (edited ) I organize my tabs by topic window (small project, chunk of work for a larger project, related idea) then kick them into onetab as a bundle with a short description when I’m done with whatever it is I needed them for.
I typically have 5-30 tabs open in topic windows at any time but I can open onetab and ctrl-f to find anything I’ve saved over the last 7 or 8 years. There must be 5000 tabs in there at this point.
ctag, You are the tab master. Thank you for describing your workflow!
Prandom_returns, I’ve set the browser to close all tabs when I close the broswer. So whenever I start, I start fresh. Doesn’t seem to result in a mess.
Anti_Weeb_Penguin, 7 at most
Nemo, Eight.
