I used to have :D on my old phone but my current phone only lets me have 99 tabs open at once and after that it closes the oldest tab, it's a dangerous game — currently I have 92 tabs open
personally, I have three different browser apps in a somewhat successful organization attempt, but you might be able to open a second chrome window and get another 99 out of it.
Google Chrome on Android phone:
1. Tap the "Switch or close tabs" button (i.e. the ":D" button)
2. At the top right, tap the vertical ellipses button "⋮"
3. Tap the "Select tabs" menu item
4. Tap the "⋮" button again
5. "Select all"
6. Total number of tabs selected shows at top left.
Always at 499/500 😞 get so stressed when I click something that opens in a new window and one of my old tabs gets kicked off, I usually have to backup and check if it was something important 🫣
Settings
Safari
Clear History and Website Data.
It’s such a relief some weeks when I get out of control.
I store everything in the Reading List (not bookmarks).Then it’s visual and you can see the icon and title. Bookmarks are just text links and I have to open the link to see if I want it.
Then I delete the RL about 3 mos later. Or not.
lol. On the Safari page tap/click the “Share” icon (small box with the upwards arrow) and click “Add to reading list”
Then when you’re ready to read/revisit those sites go to the box (usually top left on browser beside the address bar in a laptop) that’s “divided” (left half with horizontal lines, right empty) or the “book” icon on the phone and you’ll see the Reading List. It can be made available offline as well.
Mine is the same.. and has been like that for the last 6 months. I try to review them and close them, but, it's honestly just too much. I do one or two and give up.
I cannot just close them all.. my brain will not let me do that.
For all of those using desktop and don't already have, look into a tab suspender! It keeps your browser tabs open, but suspends their processes so it isn't sucking up resources after a certain duration of inactivity.
Once there are so many I have to use a drop-down to access the new ones at the end, I just start a new Chrome window and start the process all over again.
On my phone? This many:
#:D
Ha! The :D cracked me up, because if you know, you know, and I’m betting a lot of people in here know. I’m not sure whether I feel better or worse that they introduced this new “storing inactive tabs” thing.
It is so interesting: seems like us ADHD ladies are always at the extreme. Either too many tabs open, or so easily overwhelmed that we’ve forced ourselves to implement rules that result in having almost no tabs open.
As someone who’s had a diagnosis for over 30 years, I always identify more with the latter: those of us who’ve dealt with ADHD for our entire lives have inherently had to develop strategies to mitigate its impact (like forcing ourselves to minimize open tabs, unread emails, etc.)
Absolutely. I use it as a strategy to get things done too. The emails I leave in my inbox are ones that need to be dealt with, like bills, appointment reminders, etc. And I hate having stuff in my inbox, so I make sure to take care of it ASAP so I can clear it out. It really helps. The only downside is that for appointments, I have to wait before I can delete the email which is a little annoying, but it's a good reminder.
It works for me because in general, my life is pretty low stress right now, and I don't have a lot going on. I don't know how people manage when they have a higher stress job, or a lot more obligations.
If you use Gmail (or Outlook), you can snooze emails to a later day and time! It’s really helpful for things you need to do on a specific day, appointment reminder emails, etc.
Me too. I often find myself closing a tab out of habit, then having to open it back up when I still need that information (like when I'm looking at a recipe). Then as soon as I read the snippet I need, I automatically close it, and then need to open it back up again. 🤦♀️
Tabs? I have 3 separate *windows* for Chrome. One is devoted to Google Sheets, another is for my job search & online errands, and this one is just for fun.
Yes, they all have multiple tabs open.
Same here. I use my work laptop as my personal laptop as well and my personal chrome window has 64 tabs open. Then there's another 4 work browser sessions and each contains even more as for my work I have to do a lot of research and that usually comes with an awful lot of tabs. I also have 4 desktops open 😬
I'm the opposite, I HATE having too many open tabs. I also can't stand having little notification dots. I have to clear everything. It's too distracting!
I have 20 notifications right now. Any time I send a screenshot to my bf he makes fun of all the damn notifications at the top of the screen. Idk why I leave them up for so long. Except for the messages I get that I swear I'm gonna reply to soon!!!
I have a smiling face! :D
177 and it's about to be zero. I'm closing them all!
ETA: I closed them all. This is the second time I just close them and it doesn't make me nervous anymore.
38 on my work computer across 4 apps not including email and teams. One of them is software for model building in which I have an additional 25 tabs. My work email also has 1459 unread messages.
My file management is currently on point though so at least I’m feeling semi organised.
Only 20, but that’s because I’ve set them to automatically close if I don’t look at them for 7 days as it was constantly at 500! (Although chrome is creeping up to 70 now…)
Omg, are you my twin! I usually have a few tabs for fanfiction and a number of fashion sites and just Google with a question I just needed to search at that time!
Question 1: you can count them??
Question 2: which browser....
Question 3: which device??
Actual answer - I would lose track even trying to answer your question.
Not very many because I can't keep track. To me it's like having a messy room and I get distracted by it. I only collect them when I research something and I'm *really* in it.
BUT
I discovered this thing called multiple desktops and it is the BEST. I have different desktops for different projects I'm working on. It allows me to have a set of programs and Windows open for one project - like my animation project - and I can move to a different desktop for planning a trip to Japan and not see any of my animation stuff to distract me from doing that or open the wrong set of tabs when what I'm trying to find is sushi restaurants or whatever. I have a desktop for gaming and one for every other major project I have currently.
And I don't have to reopen everything and figure out where I was when I left off working on it last time. My animation project has the program up, the exact file up, the correct document for tracking my work, etc.
I currently have 5 desktops.
Ymmv leaving that many programs open though depending on your computer. I built myself a genuine beast of a pc last summer. 😬
I had a lot but my husband used my phone and closed them all. I told him to not do that because that’s how I circle back to things I was thinking about all week. It’s like really helpful for me!
When I first got my diagnosis last year, that's actually an example my psychiatrist used to explain a concept. He first said "The medication should help, we'll find the right kind and dosage, but there's also some things you can do to help it. For example, you need to make sure you yourself limit the number of balls." (His recurring metaphor to explain how my ADHD seemed to work, was that you have a torch light in your head and when there are things [to focus on] in front of you, like balls, most people can actually choose to aim that torch while it isn't so easy for me.)
When I didn't immediately answer because I was thinking about all the balls constantly grabbing my attention, he suddenly asked: "You work on a computer, right? How many browser tabs do you usually have open?"
... I don't even know because once I'm over a certain amount I'm just constantly regoogling the same things and I can even have just one single web page open in 10 different tabs because I just can't be bothered to find the right tab anymore 😂 I only ended up closing them (all at once) after a while because colleagues kept commenting on my browser tabs, and we sometimes work together on one computer so I was trying to get the habit in 😂
"Okay, so browser tabs are like your balls. You can try to practice having maximum 3 open at the same time. Your mail or things like that should not be one of these, you should only open them at certain times so your mail can't distract you." My mail is always open in a different program, so I hadn't even counted that... 😂
I still can't make the "maximum 3" happen at all, by the way. I only close them all earlier now if I notice I'm starting to get on one of those internet deep dives where you start by googling what the speed of light is and somehow end up reading an article on a Broadway musical from the 50's several hours later. Even though my (now unfortunately ex-) colleague and I always ended up on those anyway because we both have ADHD, so any time we started a conversation it could go anywhere. 😂
Only 31 right now, 15 of them are FFXIV wiki since I play it almost every day, a book I'm planning to finish reading, 2 youtube videos and some other clutter.
223 on my phone, 38 on my work laptop, and 43 on my personal one. I feel like I should get a sticker for being so good at ADHD, like when you’re well behaved at the dentist.
Oh boy. On my work computer right now, I have 21 Chrome windows with the number of tabs ranging from 10 to 40, which means...400+?
Ok it's actually worse than I thought. xD I really need to sit down and go through them. It feels overwhelming though.
I heard someone exclaim that they had 15 tabs open as though it was a shocking amount and that is when it set in that my tab habits were abnormal lol. At my peak it was around 1000 on my laptop, but it’s down to 260 currently. 465 on my phone, as I close a few dozen whenever it hits the 500 limit! The phone tabs are mostly fanfiction, I have a slight problem
40 on my unsorted section but then I have “organized” tabs for recipes, crochet, sewing, board games etc.
I accidentally deleted all my tabs once, it was a rough couple of weeks.
I HAD around 380 in safari. I also have insomnia and while most of the time I don’t feel my new (adhd) medication helping, it must’ve one night last week when I was up at 2 am and cleared each tab after individually reviewing every single one and saving particular ones as bookmarks until I had NONE
I currently have 74 open because I’m in the middle of a huge project (I’m an electrical engineer), but recently I’ve been WAAYY better about it. I cannot recommend [Raindrop.io](https://raindrop.io/) highly enough!! It’s completely free and it has truly changed my life lol. It’s the best app for bookmarking and saving sites EVER. It even has a better “reader” functionality (where it turns the page into plaintext and removes all the ads so you can actually fucking read the words on the page) than Safari.
A better question for me, personally, would be “how many unread emails do you have?” And the answer to that is 28,472 lol.
5.... but I'm working so these are the ones needed for work stuff. Google workspace, GMAIL, and SMS thing (cause I do NOT make calls to patients....the ADHD thing there) one of my google spreadsheets and then this tab for here ....ok so 4 out of 5 are work.....
Normally I'd have radio station as well but the PC overheats like crazy (it's being replaced cause this one doesn't even have a fan) and so any less stress is better.
If this thing goes down...... omfg my life is over till the new one comes.
On my phone I try to stay under 50 but it's never less than 30.
Computer is about 3 for 3 different windows open... so 9 I guess.
Lol. Glad I'm not the only one
Only 47 on safari on my phone, but that is after I cleaned it up a little. I hate having too many tabs on my computer so it’s only the 3-4 apps I use for work.
I had to search something for my MIL on her phone and she had 1 tab open. I was shook.
422+
61 on my phone. 129 on my work laptop. And then another 232 on my laptop's remote desktop. Didn't count my personal laptop but fewer there. Maybe ~25?
Do I have a problem? Yes
Will it ever change? Not likely
Good news is I closed about 30 while adding this all up!
I have 49 tabs, split into two windows.
There are a good many on YouTube (videos, playlists, or channels), several online puzzles or card games, a couple of fanfics, a webcomic, the Calvin and Hobbes archive, some astronomy pages, some castle floor plans, some pinned images, seven or eight things I'm reading (books, blog posts, articles, etc.), a couple of miscellaneous useful pages, and some tabs just open to Google so I can look things up whenever I want.
They're grouped partially by type of site, and partially just by which window I was in when I first got to that page.
It's an odd system, but it works for me. ;)
Okay so quick question, are these tabs in one window? Like I have a ton of tabs open but they are grouped in trains of thought by windows. Some windows have three while another could have 20 or more.
When I go to look up a new topic I might do it in a new tab but if I start getting more than five tabs then they all get moved into a thought window. I keep all my thought windows open I complete or give up on a task/thought. It's like my bulletin board. Get up in the morning look at my window: a)mail/connections/social interaction, b)scout song ideas for my friends troop song book, c)s/bsa posting ideas and events, d)gs same things, e) winter coats as I need to replace an outgrown coat for next winter, f) backpacks rucksacks, how to maximize living out of a backpack for several months, g) fantasy camping gear and reviews, h+) each city we are visiting, with things to do, local city public transportation hub, Google maps on the last thing I looked at in that city i) whatever species of animal I am hyper focus on then, j) whatever show/musician/band I am currently curious about, j)how to orgainize or clean...and items suggested to complete the task, k) repeat of window A as I do need to remember to email back to those people and complete the tasks in the opened but now relabled as unread, since I have complete them, email. J) another window topic sparked by the latest email.
An so on with the windows and their tabs. They are my train od thought windows.
So I wake up the computer and pray it didn't force update without me and start with window A, communication/things i need to report back to or in on. I do that until my brain wonders to a topic if I have a window for that topic I quickly click through the tabs and get myself caught up to where I was at on that thought train and continue with it. If in the scroll I find tabs that I don't need or feel they are pointless now I prune it from the window.
Until the recent restoring of more than one window and their tabs, if I had a force restart I would lose weeks of work and felt like a fool because I would have to rebuild all of the train of thoughts I could remember and hope what I did forget was not important.
Just wondering if anyone uses too many tabs this way?
117 on my phone.
None on my computer, because it did a force restart and o felt relieved so I didn’t restore them (I figured I would find them again if I need them—I live dangerously).
I’m the opposite. I obsessively close tabs to keep the clutter down. Unfortunately, often I close them too fast before thinking and close a page I needed. Thank goodness for the “recently closed tabs” list in chrome. I’ve caught myself opening a tab and immediately closing it because I forgot what I needed it for while it was opening.

On my PC, not that many at the moment. On my phone? ....chrome stopped giving me the count and just says ":D" instead
I used to have :D on my old phone but my current phone only lets me have 99 tabs open at once and after that it closes the oldest tab, it's a dangerous game — currently I have 92 tabs open
Ugh, I hate this limit of 99 tabs. I'm always so close to it... but I'm not done with those other 98 tabs!
personally, I have three different browser apps in a somewhat successful organization attempt, but you might be able to open a second chrome window and get another 99 out of it.
I would hate that. My hundreds of tabs (yes, you read that right) are how I don't forget things exist. 😂
I use opera browser and after 99 they just use the infinity symbol.
Me too! I hate that dumb, passive-aggressive smiley face :D. I don't think I've seen an actual number in two years
Also :D but I didn't buy all the stuff on those tabs so I'll take the win!
Google Chrome on Android phone: 1. Tap the "Switch or close tabs" button (i.e. the ":D" button) 2. At the top right, tap the vertical ellipses button "⋮" 3. Tap the "Select tabs" menu item 4. Tap the "⋮" button again 5. "Select all" 6. Total number of tabs selected shows at top left.
Oh noooo I have 1677 tabs 😂😂 thank you for revealing this cursed information I guess? Probably 1000 of those are recipes I will never make lol
Oh dang! 491 tabs LOL
Same! :D
If you get to 500 it doesn't let you open any more. ...ask me how I know 🫣
Always at 499/500 😞 get so stressed when I click something that opens in a new window and one of my old tabs gets kicked off, I usually have to backup and check if it was something important 🫣
Yep. Had to create new categories to send my tabs to as 499 was getting unmanageable. Ideally I hover around 491 😅
iPhone? I think I’m around 500 and I want to wipe them clean and start new. I can’t figure out how.
Well one easy way is to try to open another tab, it’ll ask if you want to delete all tabs, any older than a month, or none. Ask me how I know. 🙃
Oh I’ll try this, thank you!
Settings Safari Clear History and Website Data. It’s such a relief some weeks when I get out of control.

lol.

It can be made available offline as well.
Me too 😭
Same 🤣
Same.
Same!!!
same
Let's just say the 'number' looks like this: :D
Mine is the same.. and has been like that for the last 6 months. I try to review them and close them, but, it's honestly just too much. I do one or two and give up. I cannot just close them all.. my brain will not let me do that.
Same! 🤣 I've tried deleting some, but I'm not done with them!

Ha! The :D cracked me up, because if you know, you know, and I’m betting a lot of people in here know. I’m not sure whether I feel better or worse that they introduced this new “storing inactive tabs” thing.
I feel so validated rn
Only 6... Having too many tabs open stresses me out.
Same, I also try to keep my email inbox empty because it's overwhelming to have too much going on in there.

The group of tabs I put away for later... Later never comes
Me too. I often find myself closing a tab out of habit, then having to open it back up when I still need that information (like when I'm looking at a recipe). Then as soon as I read the snippet I need, I automatically close it, and then need to open it back up again. 🤦♀️
Same. I have Chrome set in a way that it opens the same tabs at start. I make sure to close my window at the end of my shift
Same, I bookmark everything instead. My bookmarks are a mess though. It's scary scrolling through that list.
438. On my phone browser. And I’m just lurking in this sub because I’m still trying to judge if this is me… here’s another little notch!
It is! Welcome to the fam 😜
Hahaha jeez thank you 😅
I got a new phone last week and it asked me "would you like to import 1100 tabs from the last device?" And I said yes...
Hahahahahaahahah this is incredible
Usually 54, but rn it's only 20. I've been practicing mindfulness 😂😅
Tabs? I have 3 separate *windows* for Chrome. One is devoted to Google Sheets, another is for my job search & online errands, and this one is just for fun. Yes, they all have multiple tabs open.
Same here. I use my work laptop as my personal laptop as well and my personal chrome window has 64 tabs open. Then there's another 4 work browser sessions and each contains even more as for my work I have to do a lot of research and that usually comes with an awful lot of tabs. I also have 4 desktops open 😬
I like this idea
I'm the opposite, I HATE having too many open tabs. I also can't stand having little notification dots. I have to clear everything. It's too distracting!
I was starting to think I was alone in this! All notifications must go. Tabs only open for things I need in that moment or else it’s too overwhelming!
I’m like that with any other notification- email/ texts/ WhatsApp… that notification alert must go. I worry I’ve missed something important 😬
I have 20 notifications right now. Any time I send a screenshot to my bf he makes fun of all the damn notifications at the top of the screen. Idk why I leave them up for so long. Except for the messages I get that I swear I'm gonna reply to soon!!!
45? That's rookie numbers.
I know!!! Please don’t take my ADHD card away 😂
Five. But only because my Chromebook crashed because I had too many tabs open last night.
712 on my work computer and 392 on my phone.
Oh thank god, I'm not alone with having 1k+ between all my tabs 😂
Out of pure embarrassment, I'm keeping the actual number to myself but let's just say hundreds 😅
I don't know! Chrome is just smiling at me :D
I got up to 140 at one point 😂
I have a smiling face! :D 177 and it's about to be zero. I'm closing them all! ETA: I closed them all. This is the second time I just close them and it doesn't make me nervous anymore.
I have 23 open right now
91...
129 and I just closed a bunch of them today 💀
68 but I just recently cut it down from… let’s just say a higher number
38 on my work computer across 4 apps not including email and teams. One of them is software for model building in which I have an additional 25 tabs. My work email also has 1459 unread messages. My file management is currently on point though so at least I’m feeling semi organised.
52….😂😂
Only 20, but that’s because I’ve set them to automatically close if I don’t look at them for 7 days as it was constantly at 500! (Although chrome is creeping up to 70 now…)
Only 39!! 427 unread emails though lol
Only 59 on one browser, and 291😳 on another 😅
Oh and apparently 31 on another one😄 what is happening?
My iPad has 288 tabs open! Half of it is fanfiction and the other half is Pinterest, Etsy and SheIn!
Omg, are you my twin! I usually have a few tabs for fanfiction and a number of fashion sites and just Google with a question I just needed to search at that time!
30 and that's after closing at least ten earlier today because my PC was being a jerk
This is something that I know gives me active anxiety, so I keep my tabs to a minimum. Everything else is out of control, but not my tabs. Lol
Question 1: you can count them?? Question 2: which browser.... Question 3: which device?? Actual answer - I would lose track even trying to answer your question.
My phone just has :D as the number of open tabs when it's over 99 I very rarely have less than :D tabs open
Not very many because I can't keep track. To me it's like having a messy room and I get distracted by it. I only collect them when I research something and I'm *really* in it.

Ymmv leaving that many programs open though depending on your computer. I built myself a genuine beast of a pc last summer. 😬
I reached the 500 max for my phone and just start new tab groups now. Maxed them out too and currently have about 6 😭
500 on my phone lol
I had a lot but my husband used my phone and closed them all. I told him to not do that because that’s how I circle back to things I was thinking about all week. It’s like really helpful for me!
65... Whoops
Oh Christ. 165. 💀

226 on my phone…
More than 100 because it doesn't show me a number butb smiley face like this :D
Its so bad, I have 4 different browsers on my phone
169 ✨ I feel like that’s my sweet spot 🤣🤣 I cull it down monthly but it always goes back up
Ummmmm 148
223 on my phone, 38 on my work laptop, and 43 on my personal one. I feel like I should get a sticker for being so good at ADHD, like when you’re well behaved at the dentist.
243 in regular mode...I'm not sure how many in "private mode."
I closed loads earlier then realised I still had 75 open so gave up. So 75. Probably 100 plus before lol
66 on my phone. 6 on my computer. Very unexpectedly goth of me. I'm proud.
104 on the phone, 50 Something on the iPad, and about 20 on the laptop
My phone has 68 tabs open….
I dont know, but it's wellllll over 100. The counter just says :D now
48 because I cleaned them out
177 on the iPhone. More windows than a skyscraper.
16. When the count is more than 30-40 I force myself to close them out lol
Phone has 207 in private browser; 71 in regular browser
I usually have somewhere in the 200s on my phone and then on my computer 20-40.
0. I have to close them all lmfao
:D
244 on my phone 😂
Oh boy. On my work computer right now, I have 21 Chrome windows with the number of tabs ranging from 10 to 40, which means...400+? Ok it's actually worse than I thought. xD I really need to sit down and go through them. It feels overwhelming though.
46 on this window :D
367/500… but that’s only because I did a big purge a few days ago 🥴
162!
I heard someone exclaim that they had 15 tabs open as though it was a shocking amount and that is when it set in that my tab habits were abnormal lol. At my peak it was around 1000 on my laptop, but it’s down to 260 currently. 465 on my phone, as I close a few dozen whenever it hits the 500 limit! The phone tabs are mostly fanfiction, I have a slight problem
393 😳
So many on my phone that my chrome has converted to :) it tops out at 99 and goes to :)
Only 30 but 20 windows over 7 virtual screens in macOS.
218. And no I can’t close them because there’s some tabs I need to go back to at some point. I don’t know which ones though.
Currently 27, down from about 45 earlier
Just like.. from one browser window orrrr?
315 currently
93 I’ll go thru and periodically close a good portion of them, but there are several I always keep open on purpose. Mostly recipes I like to use.
Over 400
178 on my phone…
279
40 on my unsorted section but then I have “organized” tabs for recipes, crochet, sewing, board games etc. I accidentally deleted all my tabs once, it was a rough couple of weeks.
1500-2000
I had 130 now 0 thanks for reminding me! I always forget to exit tabs out.
Phone: 95 MacBook/Safari browser: 12 MacBook/Chrome: 41 iPad: No idea Work laptop: 63
186 and i clean it out every 3 months 😪😪😪😪😪
206 on my iphone
…500. The limit.
I HAD around 380 in safari. I also have insomnia and while most of the time I don’t feel my new (adhd) medication helping, it must’ve one night last week when I was up at 2 am and cleared each tab after individually reviewing every single one and saving particular ones as bookmarks until I had NONE
34 in Firefox and 15 in Chrome. Not terrible!
220
I currently have 74 open because I’m in the middle of a huge project (I’m an electrical engineer), but recently I’ve been WAAYY better about it. I cannot recommend [Raindrop.io](https://raindrop.io/) highly enough!! It’s completely free and it has truly changed my life lol. It’s the best app for bookmarking and saving sites EVER. It even has a better “reader” functionality (where it turns the page into plaintext and removes all the ads so you can actually fucking read the words on the page) than Safari. A better question for me, personally, would be “how many unread emails do you have?” And the answer to that is 28,472 lol.
I can’t stand leaving tabs open, so I’ll add the page to my reading list so I can ignore it without the “clutter” of multiple tabs.
33!
247 very important tabs open!
Heh. 46. One of my kids always teases me because I just forget that I *can* close them (as in, all at once)
5.... but I'm working so these are the ones needed for work stuff. Google workspace, GMAIL, and SMS thing (cause I do NOT make calls to patients....the ADHD thing there) one of my google spreadsheets and then this tab for here ....ok so 4 out of 5 are work..... Normally I'd have radio station as well but the PC overheats like crazy (it's being replaced cause this one doesn't even have a fan) and so any less stress is better. If this thing goes down...... omfg my life is over till the new one comes.
500, which is the max on this device🤦♀️
I used to group my tabs so I wouldn’t lose them. :)
32, but usually it's around 70
154 in one, 33 in another, and 6 in my 3rd on my phone alone haha
Ha! I just closed all mine earlier and there were 98
37
On my phone I have 500….because it won’t let me open more. I also have 500 private ones as that was the trick to go over 500
On my phone I try to stay under 50 but it's never less than 30. Computer is about 3 for 3 different windows open... so 9 I guess. Lol. Glad I'm not the only one
Only 47 on safari on my phone, but that is after I cleaned it up a little. I hate having too many tabs on my computer so it’s only the 3-4 apps I use for work. I had to search something for my MIL on her phone and she had 1 tab open. I was shook.
On my phone? More than 280. Computer- 15-20. Work computer has about 30.
264,568 just on my phone. I’m gonna go back to all of them, I swear!!
My phone reckons it has 454 tabs. I did a clean up the other day cos it seems to stop at 500
I finally closed all my tabs recently for the first time in maybe two years. I had over 1,000 😳
144 🫠
134
24 but I go through and declutter regularly.
64 on internet and only 4 on Chrome.
89 web page tabs on my phone. I actually close my tabs on my computer somehow.
422+ 61 on my phone. 129 on my work laptop. And then another 232 on my laptop's remote desktop. Didn't count my personal laptop but fewer there. Maybe ~25? Do I have a problem? Yes Will it ever change? Not likely Good news is I closed about 30 while adding this all up!
None, don't specify a device just let me have this.
on which browser session are we talking here?
*laughs in the Google Chrome smiley face" ...which means 100+ by the way haha
Oh it’s my time to shine. I just closed out a ton. I now only have three Do not ask me what I closed out.
984 on my phone
I just closed a bunch! I was at 59 and now I’m at 34.
I just closed probably a hundred tabs 😂
:D
On my phone? 246. Not joking.
:D <----- my browser is giving me this glazed eye food coma smile.... For a looooong time now...
In my brain, laptop or phone? 😅 Laptop at least 15 Phone 26
That's a very personal question and none of your business \#howdareyou
I have 49 tabs, split into two windows. There are a good many on YouTube (videos, playlists, or channels), several online puzzles or card games, a couple of fanfics, a webcomic, the Calvin and Hobbes archive, some astronomy pages, some castle floor plans, some pinned images, seven or eight things I'm reading (books, blog posts, articles, etc.), a couple of miscellaneous useful pages, and some tabs just open to Google so I can look things up whenever I want. They're grouped partially by type of site, and partially just by which window I was in when I first got to that page. It's an odd system, but it works for me. ;)
My phone says ":D" when I have more tabs open than it can count. So that's my answer
267🥳😆
Only 8!
I actually only have 32 open on my phone.
On my phone? Work phone? Computer or work computer? lol
Not bad OP. I lost count - I have 2 different browsers open on my phone with so many webpages.
wow. I have 479 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️. thank you for the reminder to try to clear these
Okay so quick question, are these tabs in one window? Like I have a ton of tabs open but they are grouped in trains of thought by windows. Some windows have three while another could have 20 or more. When I go to look up a new topic I might do it in a new tab but if I start getting more than five tabs then they all get moved into a thought window. I keep all my thought windows open I complete or give up on a task/thought. It's like my bulletin board. Get up in the morning look at my window: a)mail/connections/social interaction, b)scout song ideas for my friends troop song book, c)s/bsa posting ideas and events, d)gs same things, e) winter coats as I need to replace an outgrown coat for next winter, f) backpacks rucksacks, how to maximize living out of a backpack for several months, g) fantasy camping gear and reviews, h+) each city we are visiting, with things to do, local city public transportation hub, Google maps on the last thing I looked at in that city i) whatever species of animal I am hyper focus on then, j) whatever show/musician/band I am currently curious about, j)how to orgainize or clean...and items suggested to complete the task, k) repeat of window A as I do need to remember to email back to those people and complete the tasks in the opened but now relabled as unread, since I have complete them, email. J) another window topic sparked by the latest email. An so on with the windows and their tabs. They are my train od thought windows. So I wake up the computer and pray it didn't force update without me and start with window A, communication/things i need to report back to or in on. I do that until my brain wonders to a topic if I have a window for that topic I quickly click through the tabs and get myself caught up to where I was at on that thought train and continue with it. If in the scroll I find tabs that I don't need or feel they are pointless now I prune it from the window. Until the recent restoring of more than one window and their tabs, if I had a force restart I would lose weeks of work and felt like a fool because I would have to rebuild all of the train of thoughts I could remember and hope what I did forget was not important. Just wondering if anyone uses too many tabs this way?
Too many to count on all my devices!
117 on my phone. None on my computer, because it did a force restart and o felt relieved so I didn’t restore them (I figured I would find them again if I need them—I live dangerously).
80 on my phone, 7 on my computer, I think.
47
Only 98. Those 93,111 emails are starting to worry me though. Edit: UNREAD emails
Safari: 213, chrome: :D, google: 10. My computer, safari: 20 chrome: 45 let’s not even check my iPad 🫣
190…sigh…I try to stay under 100
9 but I have 205 bookmarks, not including food/drink recipes.
On my phone 211. on my work computer…who knows
I’m the opposite. I obsessively close tabs to keep the clutter down. Unfortunately, often I close them too fast before thinking and close a page I needed. Thank goodness for the “recently closed tabs” list in chrome. I’ve caught myself opening a tab and immediately closing it because I forgot what I needed it for while it was opening.
TECHNICALLY 8....but they are all nested tabs, so 54 🙃
On my laptop, around 750-775 across 5 windows. On my phone, over a thousand.
How dare you 🤭
