Tab suspender and session manager goes brrrr
I'll never really understand this, I just bookmark stuff. I've never had more than maybe 15-20 open at the same time my entire life... Usually it's just 5 or 6 max.
Yeah, I'm in the same boat.
I'll have a lot of tabs open with documentation and such as I'm working on things, but at the end of the day they are all either bookmarked if I need to continue the next day, or closed as I close my browser.
Then we have people like one of the consultants we have, that has 100+ tabs open, in several browser windows (different profiles), at all times. I wonder how much money we've wasted on him just by waiting for him to find the right tab when he wants to show us something in meetings...

Yeah, I don't understand it either. I've never had more then 300 open at the same time, anything more then that is weird.

On Desktop, as soon as the tab bars are getting smaller to make room for more tabs on the screen, I feel like I have too many open.
A fun Easter egg on Chromium browsers is that, when you get to 100 tabs, the number just turns into a smiley face.

42? If only I could have so few 😅
"Firefox Power User Keeps 7,400+ Browser Tabs Open for 2 Years"
Somehow, not an Onion article
Last year I had 2200 or something like that open, but I haven’t counted this year. FF handles it fine. Chrome wasn’t ever able to handle more than a hundred or so. I haven’t used chrome in 6 or 7 years now though.

65 on my phone. None of them are junk, one is the new tab page so I can search immediately. 🤷

The old Opera when it used the Pesto engine was even better at it.
I believe literally everyone who used Opera had the habit of having a lot of tabs. They were extremely lightweight.
Sadly they abandoned the engine and now Opera is yet another chrome clone.
I feel called out 😅
I have had whatever number of tabs open on Firefox mobile where it stops giving you a number and you get the ∞ symbol...
I feel like mobile is fair. Things open new tabs automatically a lot more. But I have seen some scary posts asking how to organize tens of thousands of tabs. There's a neat part to that.
Doesn't Firefox on mobile can be configured to automatically close tabs after some period? I recall enabling that. That solves this problem!
I have it set to close after a week, but still reaching a point when ff no longer bothers to count them.
