      Quite the opposite for me.

      I usually have no fewer than 20-50 tabs open at any given moment. Mainly duplicates of the same webpage because I forgot that I already opened the tab, random sites I want to come back to in a few days but don’t want to bookmark because I already have too many bookmarks, random porn tabs from a month ago because I forgot about them… Stuff like that.

      (That’s ADHD for you.)

      Same. Maybe SomaFM if I’m streaming music and another tab for a search engine if I’m searching something at the same time. Otherwise I just jump in, jump out, one tab.

    I keep folders of bookmarks and then right click > open all in tabs depending on what i’m doing.

    i like to start with by opening a bunch of tabs depending on my task, then close them as i progress. if i need to stop with many tabs still open, like with topics being researched for projects, i’ll save all tabs to a temp folder to resume later. about once a month i clean the temp folder and sort things i want to save in various categorical folders.

    the categories are divided in a hierarchal manner of my own design, which is arbitrary and fluctuates constantly. my last count showed i was just a few shy of 2,000 bookmarks. it’s current state is like this:

    myshit

    -my emails

    -my websites (created by me)

    -mine (sites with content about me but not made by me, like interviews)

    -my cloud storage

    -friends sites

    -job search

    -gov shit

    -banking

    -adult

    -hookers (dating sites and local shopping like craigslist)

    tools

    -testing

    -networking

    -conversions

    -freeshit

    -search engines

    -info (things like cheat sheets, connector and componant ID’s, thesaurus, etc)

    maps (i like maps)

    -weather

    -geology

    -contamination

    -space

    -water

    -animals

    -electronic

    -human stuff

    -other

    all this shit

    -ai

    -art

    -audio

    -auto (need to remove as my car died and i can’t afford a new one)

    -business

    -compsci

    -d&d

    -electronics

    -emoji/symbols

    -gaming

    -graphing

    -hardware

    -homebuying

    -language

    -linuxcetera (has several nested categories)

    -nature

    -neat people

    -neat websites

    -programming

    Only the one that I’m actively using, except on rare occasion where I want to go back and forth as reference material.

    I keep two windows side by side: the left one has my email, youtube and sometimes a comic I’m reading or audiobook; the right one has a browser virtual pet game I check every few hours and is where I open new tabs to check lemmy, imgur, etc. Pretty clean! But then the moment I work on either art or coding I open a third window that usually gets to 10+ tabs oops

    Mail, torrentleech, Element, WhatsApp, and whatever I worked on last time I had it open.

    EDIT: Upon checking, it was all of the above. The “whatever I was working on” was the user manual of my car.

    None. I open what I need and then close it after I’ve used it. I feel like I’m the weird one because so many people seem to live with countless tabs open all the time. I think people who keep tabs open have no sympathy for power, cpu, and ram usage. Nutters.

    Wikipedia articles and science news articles. I keep rotating through them to clean up my browser, but each article has more links I wanna read. I need to take a day and just read them all already! lol
