Never more than ten. Currently, seven.

Zero across my phone and desktop at the moment. Having more than around 5 tabs open at once does not sit well with me.

It fluctuates as I'm researching a topic to me snapping out of it and realizing "damn that's a lot of tabs" and closing pretty much all of them.

So it usually goes from around 30 or something, down to 3 or 5 and it repeats.

On my phone I do actually have 1,500 since my browser opens another one everytime I use search on the home screen

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??

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.

On my phone I have 4 tabs but on my laptop I have 4 windows open each having 10 tabs open

None. I bookmark stuff if I need to come back.

mostly less than five.

but if I'm programming it's around 50-70

Around 5 or 6 most the time. I can't manage more than that.

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.

Eleven. Kinda felt like that was too many though.

7 at most

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.

Eight.

one

Six.

16, counting this one that I'm about to close.

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.

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.

If I leave a tab open for more than a couple of days, I bookmark it and then close it.

probably around 300, split into 2 windows, one "main" and one that's effectively my YouTube to watch list

No more than around 10, I actively try to keep the number of tabs I have in check. Sometimes I quit the browser and reopen tabs again as a way clear my head.

Too many. And I have honestly no idea.

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....

I dunno like 25 in two windows.

:D (I'm using my phone)
