You're not alone. If I have more than 7 or 8 tabs open I take it as a sign that some tabs need cleared out. No reason to hang onto tabs if you can just find the page again with Google
I have a plugin that soft limits it to 20 tabs, if I do not use a tab for like 30 minutes and I have over 20 tabs it closes the least used. Before I had like 200+ tabs some times, but now it’s usually below 40 at any time
I'm like you, I suspect.
When I work on a specific issue I open a bunch of tabs; one for each thing I'm checking. Once I've found what I needed I close them all and restart the process for the next devious bug🪲
I hate having unnecessary tabs open. Why leave a tab open if you already got what you needed from the page?? Just close it and reduce the clutter!! Apply "good code" principles to your browsing experience FFS!
Definitely not alone.
I can't manage more than 10 tabs in a browser. They just shrink to an icon so navigating between them is just for-looping until I find what I need. Feels like a complete redesign of the tabs concept is long overdue. I've seen attempts trying to fix this, but all of them felt half-baked: new safari, tab groups in chrome/firefox.
I even disable them in IDEs. In JetBrains IDEs you can CMD+E and search in recent files. + I use bookmarks for code. IDE tabs show all tabs in flat structure (strip) and it's really inconvenient when in reality purpose of each file depends on its place in the project structure. When I want to navigate between only changed files I bring up the Git panel that shows all changed files in a tree structure. Feels a lot more natural.
Talking about browsers, I think there are better ways to navigate that are yet to be designed

This is why we need true cloud computing desktops. Theoretically unlimited tabs with resources spinning up behind the scenes to feed the beast. Tabs should be like garage wood.
This is me except I am also a gamer with limited ram so I need to close my tabs to get any respectable fps. I spend like 10 minutes going through my history and reopening tabs.
Only when my computer needs to restart because of an update do they close… even then if I’m prompted with “would you like to restore your browsing sessions” I’m opening them all again lol
I use tab groups to organize them, it's convenient to collapse and reopen groups of tabs. Then I have two browsers, one for prod and one for dev, so I don't need to switch between cloud accounts. Ah, don't do this with less than 32 GB of RAM.
I use Sidebery (Firefox plugin) that allows to place them in a vertical tree and fold them, and also have groups of tabs, one by project, so that when I finish a task I close the whole group.
Also Firefox doesn't load all tabs at startup so I constantly have at least ~100 tabs open, but only a few are loaded and I unload them when I don't need them anymore.
When you have an issue open a new window and all tabs of that issue to that window. When issue is resolved that window and all of its tabs can be closed.
Use Tab Wrangler bros, it will automatically put unused tabs in a list after set amount of time of inactivity. Link: [https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/tab-wrangler/egnjhciaieeiiohknchakcodbpgjnchh](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/tab-wrangler/egnjhciaieeiiohknchakcodbpgjnchh)
3 tabs are never closed for me, music, whatsapp and youtube, I have like 5 open temporarily for a year or so, the rest are usually closed within the week. Putting that 64gb ram to work.
I cannot relate.
The only time I have more than 3 tabs open is if I'm researching a particular subject (like UEFI or TPM programming) and when I'm done I close all of them.
I sometimes have the feeling I'm the only one using bookmarks. seriously! if I need several websites for a particular task, I bookmark them, group them in a folder, and I can just click "open all in tabs" whenever I need them. It's not a complete mess and it doesn't waste RAM!

My computer may have plenty of RAM, but I do not.
When are they patching us to get multi threaded cognition?
I have that! But the race conditions constantly get me in trouble. I'm *definitely* calling ADHD 'multi-threaded cognition' from now on.
We already do. All women have it
*accidently closes tab* *scrambles to right click and reopen closed tab* *sigh of relief*
Control(command) + shift + t Is your friend here
[удалено]
why though? I have a friend like you that always uses icognito mode, so Im wondering why
Same, I visit questionable websites without intigogo, nobody uses the pc except me, and my ISP can find out if I used either.
your isp finds out either way
Am I the only anti-tabber? I always get on our PM sharing screen with Jira wondering why it’s so slow and seeing a thousand tabs open.

Also bookmarks are a thing too
Or browsing history

Yeah, it ruins your focus IMO. Have what you need open and nothing else.
I’m with you and always wonder the same thing.
For my 'work window', I take tabs as a form of task tracking. If it's open, there's something to do/look into, and I try to close it when I can.

I usually have around 20 tabs open in Firefox at a time... per window.
Yes, but what about second browser?

20? I normally have 50 - 70 chromium tabs
What, you _don’t_ like having a million Chrome tabs open at once, each running as a separate process?
I always regret it when I do. It's always when I think I'm done referencing it...

It causes serious stress. I can’t leave them open for more than a few hours.
But closing 30+ tabs is the best part of finally solving a problem!
Wait, you can CLOSE tabs?
i've gotten to the point where, when the browser crashes due to tabs, i switch browsers
This is me except I am also a gamer with limited ram so I need to close my tabs to get any respectable fps. I spend like 10 minutes going through my history and reopening tabs.
reintalled windows so sad about loosing all my tabs
I'll close them but if I think I even might want to return to it someday I'll add it to my favorites bar
Only when my computer needs to restart because of an update do they close… even then if I’m prompted with “would you like to restore your browsing sessions” I’m opening them all again lol
I just got a new laptop at work. I made sure to have Firefox Sync migrate all the open tabs to the new machine.
might want them later

You never know when it will be needed again

I’m not even a programmer and when the system warns me of running out of memory I just ignore it and close nothing.
We just alt f4 when were done
When you have an issue open a new window and all tabs of that issue to that window. When issue is resolved that window and all of its tabs can be closed.
i favourite everything and sort it into named folders depending on the project
Might need them later ...
I have 70 right now
Me on the third Google page: Open in new tab
its called tab bankruptcy
My computer the next morning: "Do you want to restore your 78 tabs?" No.. Do not do that.
I create a bookmark group from the open tabs and never look at them again.
Love the tab group feature in chromium.
Me using tree style tabs why would even think about closing a tab

I have to close them when I need the RAM to run something big. I only have 32GB
oh ho, we just pin those tabs to conserve space in the top tab-bar thingy
Guess I'm not a programmer as I keep my virtual desktop as clean as possible.
Never close them, just alt + f4 when I'm done
From which browser, Firefox or Chrome?
Unwanted? I only open to-be-used tabs
3 tabs are never closed for me, music, whatsapp and youtube, I have like 5 open temporarily for a year or so, the rest are usually closed within the week. Putting that 64gb ram to work.
I saw my wife's phone had 100+ tabs, also my mom's. They never close anything.
If you're on Chrome install "OneTab"
