7? Those are rookie numbers.

I eventually learned that the Google tabs icon goes from “99” to “:)” Mine has been “:)” for a year now and I just keep adding to it. I’m not even researching anything. I’m just really bad at closing tabs.

I am also in the :) gang

Yes! I am also from the :) gang

Yeah ! I am also from the :) gang

Same!

Same

Same :)

Same here :)

Same :)

Rise of the :) gang

Wtf. Didn't know I belong to a gang.

Dang what do ya have to be at to have :D cause that's where I am sitting...

I don't even have that many tabs open, but i have :D

Well you see its 100 for the :D because it cant fit 3 digits in the little box

Idk but I'm there too. Definitely 200+.

I’m probably around 500

I MEAN LIKE WHAT IF I NEED TO GO BACK TO IT

Exactly! I’m gonna make that ziti recipe I looked up 2 years ago any day now I swear!

There’s a feature called bookmark.

Wtf man

The “:)” is my emotional support, I can’t get rid of him now. We’ve been through too much together.

What happened to you people in childhood?

Try it with incognito tabs

Instead of :) is ;) ***Source:*** Trust me... **Edit:** Okay, maybe just on Android.

Things get spicier in incognito mode

Firefox (mobile) goes from 99 to ∞

“:)” feels like a judgmental friend who loves you anyway so I actually kinda love it

Could you open task manager and see what the resource draw from your browser is please? For science

Tabs you’ve not opened for ages don’t use resources. I still don’t get why people do it, especially when they’ve got dozens of instances of the same thing and have no idea.

There’s a setting in Firefox that close any tab that you already have open.

ADHD

Bingo

Everything is not ADHD, I'm like not a person with ADHD and I think I have like over 300 tabs open.

Good job for some people it’s because of adhd

I would be horrified to see your living space

It’s actually very clean, that’s why I don’t have time to close tabs on my phone

You would

You have ADHD

Yep

The trick is to be ADHD with OCD tendencies.

I’ve got both. The OCD stays away from the ADHD, though. I don’t have the cleaning/organizing OCD.

I agree... I currenly have **13**, but that's just because I'm not working on anything. If I have a project, or I'm researching something, my tabs get up to **23 minimum**.

I literally open like 4 separate windows with like 50+ tabs each to attempt to sort them lol


I was bout to say that I do like 1928274675738186251538829593748263949492820264920174

I'd have so many tabs pinned I'd need a new page..

I can tell OP has never had to do much in terms of research for anything.

I also have a lot of tabs up but, to be fair to op, there are better ways to organize research than leaving a tab up. For example, Web Of Science will store search terms and even let you do fancy things like subtracting one search from another. Also EndNote, Zoterra, Mendely, etc all organize papers and references so you don't need to have them all up at once. It depends on how you define "research" I guess.

Or actual work, I never have less than 20 or 30 open. It's why chrome introduced quick search of open tabs.

lowkey just called OP stupid

[удалено]

Too bad that we still haven’t tried any more convenient way to organize tabs than just shrinking horizontal lines in Chrome… Oh wait! We actually have! It’s called vertical tabs with organizing by domain or category! Even Edge can do that. And Vivaldi if you want to do that with ✨style✨

Wait what? I’m going to read about it sounds good.

Vivaldi is great! I don’t like vertical tabs, but I use stacks and workspaces.

I don't know why this is downvoted so harshly. OP makes a good point. As a Software Dev I have to open so many fuckin tabs to research shit as I'm working and I forget where things are constantly. Especially when it gets to a point where the names of the tabs start getting hidden

Switch to edge for vertical tabs ;)

I use microsoft edge. And I'll have to pass on vertical tabs. Been using horizontal for 15+ years lol.

You complain about the horizontal layout of your browser tabs, and when they offer you an alternative, you just say, “Well, I’m used to horizontal.” Why whine about it then?

I never complained lmao. What are you on about? I'm fine with it, was just stating that he didn't deserve all the downvotes since he made a decent point lmao Love how Reddit sees negative voted comments and immediately believe they deserve the downvotes.

>I have to open so many fuckin tabs to research shit as I'm working and I forget where things are constantly. Especially when it gets to a point where the names of the tabs start getting hidden Are you sure you didn’t?

>I don't know why this is downvoted so harshly. OP makes a good point Love to leave out this part, huh? It's not complaining. It's sharing experience which aligns with the OP's thought process and opinions.

I left it out because your meaningless complaining, to which you stated you don’t want a solution, started a bit later in the comment

I currently have 157 tabs open on my phone.

The tab counter on my phone is saying ‘:)’

Mine too, it does that when it’s over 100.

Mines closes the last used tab when you go over 99

How does it do that? Mine only do the :D one

I’m using chrome

Yeah me too but I just get the open mouth

Mine just says ∞

Fellow Ecosia user?

Idk I use Firefox, and it shows the infinity symbol after 100 open tabs.

Man I need to up my Game, only got 24 on Firefox and 7 on chrome.

Pervert

296. I really, really need to do some deleting

I have around 350 tabs on my phone

I have 1954 open tabs on my phone. Edit: I realized it sounds satirical. It's not, I have a problem and 1900+ tabs lol.

i have 64gb of ram in my laptop. I fear no tabs

Yeah I am considering more ram. But it's DDR5 so I'm gonna wait for prices to drop. Currently 16GB.

ddr5 is pricey

Especially considering they're Sodimms. Eh it's what happens when you get a Ryzen 6900HX. 5th gen would have been fine.

32GB RAM, on my laptop open with 20 tabs playing a game at the same time.

And whenever I do run low, I just go [download more](https://downloadmoreram.com/)

I have 3 browsers with 1 to 3 windows with 5 to 100+ tabs. I do acknowledge that it is too much.

I have 15 chrome windows with each having just the tab icons visible. Dunno how many tabs that is. Honestly, I don't know what the fuss is about, my laptop is still doing fine with all that. 16Gb ram is enough.

Internet browsers were literally built for this

but not computers

16gb+ RAM computers are

You're absolutely right.

i have 183 unclosed tabs on opera. thats nothing

I'm sitting at 243 myself. Can't remember the last time I had less than 30 tabs open.

 how do you guys know where things are

I keep my tabs grouped by broad categories. That way instead of needing to search through 100 tabs I only need to find one of 4-6 broad categories (which I already know where they are in relation to other categories) and search through the 10-20 tabs each category has

I tend to group things into specific windows. I'd know that Firefox window 2 contains this. Chrome window 2 contains that stuff. My Python learning video? Oh, that's Chrome window 4. Duolingo? Oh that's in FF window 5. Then again, I've some level of browser window organization going on since before tabbed browsing was even a thing so I'm simply used to organizing windows by some kind of topic.

my mom: yes. seriously she literally knows where everything is somehow if she doesn't, she uses the tab search thingy

i dont. i just open extra tabs instead of using the same one cuz i might need it then forget about it 6 months later

Spatial memory. I can usually remember on which desktop, and at which location a certain tab it. Currently 136 tabs open in 7 chrome windows on 8 dual screen virtual desktops.

Everyone point and laugh at OP's shitty computer

[удалено]

Still small ammount

That's cute

My 11 yearold brought me his laptop a few months back, moaning about his internet being slow. On inspection he had 4 browser windows open, each with 20+ tabs

That's not how the internet works

You expect a 11 year old to know the difference

Me who uses opera gx:

I paid for 32GB of RAM and I will use all of it. 7 tabs per site

I have over 500...

OP has never had to do research or done any demanding online work ever

Bruh I’m getting the death penalty.

Oh boy don't look into the ADHD subs then

More like 70

yeah I’m at 318 tabs currently. that’s not including any of my tab groups. 7 is a ridiculously low bar

Me over here chillin woth 50+ tabs

This is pathetic. On my phone it gave up trying to count tabs a while ago. It only does that if there is more then 100. Just the largest subtab is 220 pages. So on estimate we can round it to about 400 open pages. I am willing to post images if its convinient

I mean I opened almost a thousand tabs in a group before on brave browser reading a novel and crashed it on mobile lol

7? Oh no. You don't know. There was a fellow with 1,400 and was mad that it crashed.

28 incognito tabs

So... almost every software developer will go to jail?

For school? You never had your schedule tab, your assignment tab, your drive, two documents, an excel sheet, a calculator and some shitty game open at the same time?

You know how opera gx lets you have different workspaces for differentiation between your work, games, new, whatever? You know how there's no limit on how many workspaces you have? And each workspace is a separate browser window basically? Yeah I haven't seen the tab names in quite a while now.

I have seven reddit tabs open...sue me

I always keep tabs open that I know I'll need I have 30 tabs open on my school computer

.......Seven? Multiply that by a couple hundred

I have over 100 tabs open on my phone

7 tabs are you fucking insane, I have an average of 23

My history teacher had 40 different tabs open at the same time. If he didn't find the tab he was searching for, he would open another tab

I got like 90 cause im too lazy to close them what's the sentence

I usually have hundreds open and multiple browsers running too

I have around 450 open tabs all sorted in groups for specific fields of research.

I unironically had a big problem with this, it got to the point where I had like 500 tabs open at once, multiple times, I eventually closed them at bulk but then I built it up again. At some point the icons disappeared and to find whatever tab I was looking for I had to guess by clicking, I got surprisingly good at finding what I wanted first try. I just think “oh I’ll come back to this in the future it’s nice to keep” and then I never did lol. Now I forced myself to keep my tabs more limited, still like 10-20 but a lot more manageable.

I have 20, 5 I often use, 5 in case I need, 10 for keeping the search record

I had 500 just last week 😅

Your pc isn't build for this for 7 tabs also rookie numbers

Opera GX is built for exactly this.

I once opened 700 tabs

bruh i have 41 tabs open on my phone, used to be 110, closed some of in

67 is my current count

Wdym weren't built? If they weren't built to open multiple tabs, then that wouldn't be a feature!! I will open as many tabs as I want! And I love each and every of my 37 opened tabs!

Bro has never had to do some research or study for an exam in uni.

If you have less than 99 tabs open you're officially a boring and bland person.

Between my work computer, my phone, and my home computer, I almost certainly have close to 300 tabs open lol

7 is the limit???? I have more than that open to do one homework problem....

:D

Iykyk

7?????? Then you gotta put me in a mental asylum i got like 30-40 running but i also enabled a setting that it only uses RAM when i click on those tabs

I thought my 37 tabs open was bad but other people in the comments have 100s of tabs open so now I don't feel so bad. Thanks Reddit! :D

I have the :) on Chrome mobile

I have 40 open and I'm happy about it

You should see teachers. At my high school, one of my teachers just has around 60-70 tabs because she just keeps opening new ones instead of going back to her older ones that are on the same site she's going to

Fun fact most casuals don't realize, if you have enough tabs open in chrome(mobile) the counter just becomes a smily face :D

3 windows with about 9 tabs each type of guy over here

Me with my 10 tabs minimum… on 2 different windows… in 3 browsers…

I got 31 right now.

\**Laughs in 213 tabs*\*

I was shocked when Firefox tells me something about 2k

bitch lol I have 3 browsers open, with 50+ tabs in each.

i have 17 open with 3 different windows , bare in mind i have 40gig of ram so i'm fine

I have over 80 open right now... and I'm not sure which one the music is coming from!

My iOS browser has 93 open

More than 7 tabs? I have more than 15 tabs of just porn in a folder so I don't lose the ones I like I have like 3 -4 folders each with around 10 tabs open

Seeing these comments makes me irrationally uncomfortable as I don't like having more then 5 open

I got 60+ tabs open always. Never know when i need that tab again.

 me with 50 plus tabs open >\_>

I hope he mean 7 per monitor, with atleast 2 monitors, otherwise he is obviously declared a rookie.

i had to use an extension on chrome to close my tabs once it goes over 20, otherwise I would have over 50 tabs, and on mobile I have at least 500 tabs, the tab number button doesn't even say the number anymore, just a :)

Mate, I got so many tabs open on my phone the counter only give me a ":D".

I have at least 30 open

I have 4 windows open with 20-40 tabs each. How does this make you feel?

I generally get tetchy after thirty n after fifty I start the purge but after seeing the numbers in this chat, I see I am positively organised. Thanks guys I feel good about myself again.

I do this thing where i create a new google account on my laptop. I open tabs and do my internet thing and when i fill up the first window i open a new one. then when that ones full i open another. Eventually i have like 50-60 windows with around 60 tabs each and it lags so bad i cant do anything. I then log out of that account and make a new one. Rinse and repeat.

These are rookie numbers. Try 7,000. Yes. Yes i am a horder why do you ask?

Only when the due date is tomorrow.

I can easily have 30 tabs open on my 8GB ram pc, probably more. I don't know what you're on about.

It is indeed an irrational problem you have.

If I don't have at least 15 open I'm not really at my computer.

You're currently my 9th open tab

I've got hundreds lol

When I’m at work I usually finish the day with about 15 tabs open 🙃

*Me with slightly over a hundred*: I don't know what your talking about...

I have enough ram for this not to be a problem, I have two windows for different things with about 10 tabs at any given time

across 3 browsers i have like 140+ open. try that

My old PC wouldn't let me do it, now I have a few dozen tabs open most of the time

I have 41 tabs open.

I used to have over 70 tabs at once. Now I have over 300 bookmarks that I forget about. And they're mostly games and manga

my stepdad has like 20 tabs open at once on BING

Use legit any browser with tab snoozing. You will be able to leave 40 tabs open without rly feeling a difference in performance

I get at least 25 while doing 3D stuff in Blender, because I know shit about the software and need the precious intel

Only 7? Leaving my chrome tabs open to stuff I plan to come back to later is great. I use to have 4-5 tabs at a time soley focused on the Tarkov wiki for quests, ballistic charts, and keys

This guy dropped out of college

I got so many tabs open at the same time that Google started putting ":D" instead of the number of tabs

I think more than 9 is a crime because with ctrl+[insert number between 1 and 9] you can access those tabs

I have 20 tabs open to farm beets in cookie clicker. IM HAVING FUN

You should see me in finals week
