[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago

This is the way.

[–] grandkaiser@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

And sponsorblock

[–] ofespii@lemmy.blahaj.zone 33 points 2 years ago (3 children)

27? Those are rookie numbers!

My ADHD comes with 160 free browser tabs.

[–] bouh@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

160? That's cute. Last time I saved my tabs in case of crash I had 1200.

[–] Martineski@lemmy.fmhy.ml 4 points 2 years ago

Once I hit 1800 I think.

[–] Resonosity@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Me when I'm balls deep in a research project. It's even worse with how some browsers allow you to group and hide tabs!!

[–] Martineski@lemmy.fmhy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

I have few hundreds tabs open on few different browsers each.

[–] wren@lemmy.ml 21 points 2 years ago

Pffffft. Only 27? I’ve maxed my allowed tabs on my phone browser several timed over, let alone my computer browser.

Also. Firefox >>> Chrome.

I never understood why people keep tabs open. If I'm not going to use this information in the next day or so, I just bookmark it and come back to it later.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Solid advice in theory, but you should see the chaotic mess that is my bookmarks 😂

[–] oyenyaaow@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 years ago

emotional support bookmarks. Actual bookmark are links on the desktop

[–] saigot@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I have 100+ tabs open at a time, but with the exception of a few pinned tabs the 100 tabs I have open today are not the 100 tabs I have open in a few days.

[–] TeaHands@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

But how do you tell the difference between things you'll need in the next day, and things you just think you'll need?

Real question, my phone has given up even counting the open tabs, please help.

[–] dandroid@dandroid.app 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

If it has been a few days and I haven't used it, it gets bookmarked.

Based on the way you asked for help, I feel like you might need Marie Kondo to ask if each tab sparks joy. 😅

[–] TeaHands@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

You know, this has actually genuinely inspired me to add a new task to my end of week review. Maybe I can just start closing the pointless ones once a week and the habit will grow from there? We can but dream, we can but dream...

[–] kuadhual@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

I do bookmarked lots of websites. Going back to maybe 10 years ago (when did firefox implement sync?). Some of them duplicated or cease to function. I also never open them again form bookmark.

With open tabs, at least I re-read them again, even if only to check if I still want to read them or to close them.

[–] MeowdyPardner@kbin.social 8 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

At some point I exceeded 500, but I also have firefox simple tab groups (formerly known as panorama) so I'm usually not looking at a window of more than 100 at a time, and any tabs I haven't visited since last launch aren't loaded into ram until I click over to them so they behave more like bookmarks except instead of creating/organizing/cleaning up bookmarks in addition to tabs I just browse/organize/close tabs. Each rabbit hole I go down gets a tab group so if I'm done with a topic I can just close the whole group.

[–] dipbeneaththelasers@kbin.social 6 points 2 years ago

Doing pretty well at just 27. I don't feel anything until the mobile Chrome tab button is a smiley face.

[–] StankFlipper@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I have 30 duck duck go tabs open rn. I keep trying to reduce them, but I feel like they're important to keep up.

[–] roux@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 years ago

It's like a fucking addiction. I have 50 open right now.

[–] ImpossibilityBox@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

I currently have 306 tabs open in chrome on my phone. That might be about average for me if I had to guess.

[–] Rin@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

OneTab is an excellent extension

[–] Eavolution@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago

I'm very good at keeping only a few tabs open and closing them when I'm done. I used my mums phone to look something up and chrome wouldn't even give a tab count, just a smiley face...

[–] LeFantome@programming.dev 4 points 2 years ago

I pretty much have to use Firefox as it is the only browser that can handle the couple hundred tabs I have open.

[–] zyratoxx@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Maybe that's just me, but I always delete tabs as a sign of: "OK, I found what I was looking for". If not tho...

[–] Silvus@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Yeah, tabs are like to do lists. This stays open until I complete the task, purchase, or learning journey I was on.

[–] ultimate_question@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Gotta wonder if all of these people making the exact same joke scrolled past it 20 times before posting

[–] Chadus_Maximus@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The fact that I have Lemmy tabs in my music window means that I have failed.

[–] oyenyaaow@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

kittensgame windows, browsing windows, youtube windows, general stuff windows, all the languages windows, kdrama windows, stardew valley windows....

[–] Chadus_Maximus@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

kittensgame

Fuck you i'm now addicted.

[–] oyenyaaow@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 years ago

Why do you think it is listed first? 😅😅

[–] polle@feddit.de 3 points 2 years ago

There is a limit for max open tabs?

[–] ParsnipWitch@feddit.de 2 points 2 years ago

Browser is in no no square

[–] TwistedFox@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Those are Rookie numbers. Got 67 tabs on mobile, and 6ish windows with 30-50 on my laptop. Not sure how many are on my desktop, but it's spread across 3 browsers.

[–] figaro@lemdro.id 1 points 2 years ago

I swear I'm going to come back to this at some point

[–] deeznutz@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Tree style tabs. Leaving 100 tabs open is a sign you don't know how to use a computer.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Or, as in my case, know how to use a computer but have moderate to severe ADHD. Your sweeping generalisation borders on ableism tbh..
