This is the way.

27? Those are rookie numbers!

My ADHD comes with 160 free browser tabs.

[–] bouh@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

160? That's cute. Last time I saved my tabs in case of crash I had 1200.

[–] Martineski@lemmy.fmhy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

Once I hit 1800 I think.

[–] Resonosity@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Me when I'm balls deep in a research project. It's even worse with how some browsers allow you to group and hide tabs!!

[–] Martineski@lemmy.fmhy.ml 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I have few hundreds tabs open on few different browsers each.

[–] sweetviolentblush@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Yup, my current tabs, just music alone has over 100 (it's my adhd-hyperfocused hobby)

[–] Paralda@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago

The trick is having 3 monitors so you can have even more tab groups.

Vivaldi also supports multiple workspaces that can each have their own tab stacks.

[–] 001100010010@lemmy.dbzer0.com 34 points 1 year ago (3 children)

27? What an amateur...

Glances over at 3-digit Firefox tabs...

[–] altima_neo@lemmy.zip 12 points 1 year ago

Same, but also 3 more windows for good measure.

[–] meismyname@kbin.social 7 points 1 year ago

Only 3 digits? Send help.

[–] steersman2484@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Rookie numbers, last time I closed my chrome tabs on my phone I had around 2k

[–] DestroyMegacorps@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

HOW?? 2K TABS?? THATS LIKE 10 MOM PHONE AMOUNT OF TABS

[–] Goun@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Finally a surprise, damn!

[–] wren@lemmy.ml 24 points 1 year ago

Pffffft. Only 27? I’ve maxed my allowed tabs on my phone browser several timed over, let alone my computer browser.

Also. Firefox >>> Chrome.

I never understood why people keep tabs open. If I'm not going to use this information in the next day or so, I just bookmark it and come back to it later.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Solid advice in theory, but you should see the chaotic mess that is my bookmarks 😂

[–] oyenyaaow@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 year ago

emotional support bookmarks. Actual bookmark are links on the desktop

[–] saigot@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I have 100+ tabs open at a time, but with the exception of a few pinned tabs the 100 tabs I have open today are not the 100 tabs I have open in a few days.

[–] TeaHands@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

But how do you tell the difference between things you'll need in the next day, and things you just think you'll need?

Real question, my phone has given up even counting the open tabs, please help.

[–] dandroid@dandroid.app 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

If it has been a few days and I haven't used it, it gets bookmarked.

Based on the way you asked for help, I feel like you might need Marie Kondo to ask if each tab sparks joy. 😅

[–] TeaHands@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

You know, this has actually genuinely inspired me to add a new task to my end of week review. Maybe I can just start closing the pointless ones once a week and the habit will grow from there? We can but dream, we can but dream...

[–] kuadhual@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

I do bookmarked lots of websites. Going back to maybe 10 years ago (when did firefox implement sync?). Some of them duplicated or cease to function. I also never open them again form bookmark.

With open tabs, at least I re-read them again, even if only to check if I still want to read them or to close them.

Tabs are just bookmarks for people who can afford RAM.

[–] Sabre363@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 year ago

Why does everyone seem to be collecting browser tabs like they're god damn crack? Any more than 3-5 is ridiculously overwhelming and I feel like I'm gonna have an aneurysm trying to find any information.

[–] MeowdyPardner@kbin.social 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

At some point I exceeded 500, but I also have firefox simple tab groups (formerly known as panorama) so I'm usually not looking at a window of more than 100 at a time, and any tabs I haven't visited since last launch aren't loaded into ram until I click over to them so they behave more like bookmarks except instead of creating/organizing/cleaning up bookmarks in addition to tabs I just browse/organize/close tabs. Each rabbit hole I go down gets a tab group so if I'm done with a topic I can just close the whole group.

[–] Rin@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

OneTab is an excellent extension

[–] decisivelyhoodnoises@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Once every a while I also move my open tabs in onetab so I can not-visit them again from there

[–] Jepperoni@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Lol I was feeling there was something wrong there after i typed it but left it like that anyway

Doing pretty well at just 27. I don't feel anything until the mobile Chrome tab button is a smiley face.

[–] StankFlipper@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I have 30 duck duck go tabs open rn. I keep trying to reduce them, but I feel like they're important to keep up.

[–] roux@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

It's like a fucking addiction. I have 50 open right now.

[–] ImpossibilityBox@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

I currently have 306 tabs open in chrome on my phone. That might be about average for me if I had to guess.

[–] Eavolution@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

I'm very good at keeping only a few tabs open and closing them when I'm done. I used my mums phone to look something up and chrome wouldn't even give a tab count, just a smiley face...

[–] LeFantome@programming.dev 4 points 1 year ago

I pretty much have to use Firefox as it is the only browser that can handle the couple hundred tabs I have open.

[–] Chadus_Maximus@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The fact that I have Lemmy tabs in my music window means that I have failed.

[–] oyenyaaow@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

kittensgame windows, browsing windows, youtube windows, general stuff windows, all the languages windows, kdrama windows, stardew valley windows....

There is a limit for max open tabs?

[–] ultimate_question@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Gotta wonder if all of these people making the exact same joke scrolled past it 20 times before posting

[–] zyratoxx@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Maybe that's just me, but I always delete tabs as a sign of: "OK, I found what I was looking for". If not tho...

[–] Silvus@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah, tabs are like to do lists. This stays open until I complete the task, purchase, or learning journey I was on.

[–] TwistedFox@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Those are Rookie numbers. Got 67 tabs on mobile, and 6ish windows with 30-50 on my laptop. Not sure how many are on my desktop, but it's spread across 3 browsers.

[–] ParsnipWitch@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

Browser is in no no square
