I just saw a coworker with something like 30 tabs open in Chrome. I also know someone who regularly hits the 500-tab limit on their phone, though I suspect that’s more about being messy than anything else.
When I’m researching something, I might have 10-50 tabs open for a while, but once I’m done, I close them all. If I need them again, browser history is there.
Why do people keep so many tabs open? Is there a workflow or habit I’m missing? Do they just never clean up, or is there a real benefit to tab hoarding? I’m genuinely curious. Why do people do that?
I hear what you’re saying, but not once have I ever seen somebody with lots of tabs be able to find what they’re looking for in those tabs. They almost always click through several, then open a new tab and navigate to the content they need.
Good for you.
I simply scroll down my tab bar to what I’m looking for.
I’m down to 130 tabs from 170
Sucks to be them I guess?
