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?
You can right click it and click “delete” if it bothers you that much.
Tabs are temporary and were never meant to be kept from session to session. The only reason they do now is because people like yourself kept eating up all your RAM with them and then complaining when everything got slow.
Show me where I was complaining thusly.
