How many tabs do you usually have open?

usually only one, but right now since i'm trying to sell something on ebay and craigslist, i have 3 constantly open, one for my email, another for my ebay page and one for browsing

Yeah, I do the same thing. Ranges anywhere from 5 to 75 usually, but I remember one time a few years ago I counted and had 167 tabs open. Haven't had anything that ridiculous since then, but I still do always have a bunch of tabs open.

too many

10+ at all times

3 to 5 unless I'm reading a wiki or an article with many links, then I end up with way too many.

I have another Chrome window with about 20 tabs open in the background, you just ain't snoopin' on dat hot shit yer smelly bumface.

#E3

24 right now...most are unloaded though, and some 10-ish are youtube tabs from series / videos I was watching and want to continue watching.

About 5 are forum threads that I just opened as I scrolled through the forum page. Eventually, I'll close a bunch and watch or put the youtube ones in a folder and close them, and eventually get back to about 3-5. E3 isn't helping.

Every time, every single time someone looks at my laptop the first thing they say is "Why do you have so many tabs open?"

It's usually 15 minimum and once I think I had 46 tabs open, I have a problem.

@bocam said:

Well I have 58 so there.

I'll close one down as soon as I'm done, but I also tend to do stuff that requires a ton of tabs. So it kinda fluctuates from 1 or 2 to infinite potential. Like, right now I have 9, but that will go down to just one probably in a bit.

TABS RIGHT?

Usually 10+

This for sure

Like 20

5-8...

3 usually

around 5,

I have the forums open, pandora, and just any other 3 sites.

Usually anywhere between 2-12 at home (Twitter's pinned as an app tab). I have a substantially worse computer at work (Pentium 4, 2GB ram), but I've had 30+ tabs open before when learning a new coding language or SQL or whatever.

@animasta: Usually one or two. I'd much prefer to have multiple windows instead. If your number of open tabs ballons you can ignore it for the most part; if your number of open windows ballons you have to cut it down to a reasonable number. By using this practice I tend to manage how much information I'm dealing with and don't get overwhelmed.

Usually 3-4. I mostly just use twitter.

All the Tabs, All the time.

@animasta: According to this Firefox add-on, I currently have 131 tabs open.

3-5 usually.

At least 5. I always have Twitter open and that tends to lead me to news articles and other things I want to check out later. It got especially messy last week as the NSA surveillance leaked.

2 or 3. I'm not an animal so I close tabs when I'm done with them.

The most I would allow myself to have at once is 10.

4 or 5. More this week because it's E3. If I'm doing an essay, then easily 15 tabs.

Normal browsing, usually anywhere from 3-10. Almost never less.

If I'm on a wiki or something, doing research or just finding shit out, I'll probably go up to 20 or 30 or so.

At the moment, I have only two tabs open. Typically, I have three to five tabs open, while I typically max out at around seven to ten.

I couldn't imagine being able to handle 25+ tabs...

When I'm on Freeones browsing the Anal category I get up to like 60 tabs open. Then I go through them quickly and see which ones are worth keeping open.

I have 16 gigs of RAM. I can open as many tabs as I damn well please.

Usually I just have one, though. I'm just not a multitasker.

2 or 3

5 tabs at the minimum, which I have arranged in a frame like this (using the TileTabs add-on):

My second monitor has Skype, Twitter, Email and other things arranged in much the same way (using a program called WindowPad).

I like it like that.

usually between 2-4, occasionally 5.

Right now 44

I've had as many as ~2200 before in Firefox. No, that's not a typo.

Yeah I know

Average of 10 I would say. Usually a little less but sometimes way more.

237 right now. It crashes a lot.

2 or 3 tops...

I have 2 to 3. The first one is always this site and the others really depends on what I'm doing.

3-4..usually depends, its funny cause when I gota do something important
I suddenly suck at multitasking but when it comes to looking up random shit on the net
whatya know, score =|

Usually 2-3. Might as well go up to 20 while watching a certain type of movies.

1-4, Once the new tab area shrinks because I've got too many open, I start to close others.

Anyway, I can only have one open at the moment, because my Chrome freezes when I switch tabs, and I cannot find a fix.

About 7 tabs open, I guess

Peaking at 6 right now. Sometimes more if i'm researching something expansive to buy.

as of opening this thread i have 79 tabs open

About 8 tabs as of now

Apparently I have 7451 right now. I usually have around 2500, so it probably got doubled during some crash.

At most five. Any more than that I start to realize that I am being inefficient and start to close things down to focus on whatever it is that I m working on, or reading.

3 on average when researching. I know people that will have hundreds open all the time and never restart thier systems, then they wonder how they ended up with malware?

I'm less of a multiple tabs guy and more of a multiple windows guy.
