edit: I think I’ve just gotten a habit of saving to bookmarks so the browser doesn’t take forever to open, before unloading inactive tabs became a thing.

I mean 8 windows alone are anoying enough. How are you supposed to find your main one, without circulating through all of them?

Fetus@lemmy.world · 9 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Each window serves a different purpose, and tabs in each window are usually grouped together so that they're somewhat related.

CelestialPetrichor@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

As someone who does something similar, you should try Sidebery. It lets you have tab panels - basically groups - and each one has a tree of tabs. Much better than having a large amount of windows.

I counted the tabs on the phone browser I use for reading user submitted stories...471 tabs in total...
More than I thought.

How long did it take to count them

Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 1 pts · 2y

Since it counts grouped tabs (chrome android) I only had to count about 15 groups.

I mean if you have over 5000 tabs open, your system is probably smoking weed and drinking molten salt, just to keep cool.

Bob knows that my system can't really function with more than about 250 tabs open.

dankm@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 2y

Firefox gives up keeping open tabs up to date. I've had 5000 tabs open without any slowdown. But I do realise this is about Chrome....

umbraroze@kbin.social · 16 pts · 2y (2 replies)

I use Firefox and I'm kind of old school, I don't usually leave tabs open.

I just have a bookmark folder for temporary bookmarks. All 500 of them.

Should be moving to Firefox, chrome is like a toxic girlfriend that's evil to the core but tries to keep you with gaslighting

Kiloee@discuss.tchncs.de · 1 pts · 2y

I would love to go back to Firefox, but ironically Edge is better at syncing things regularly for me. And I need that sync so that I don’t need to have all the 50 or so tabs on my phone too.

It's funny seeing a tweet of someone I know irl on Lemmy.

But as I told him when he first posted this 27 tabs is nothing. I've had hundreds. Firefox doesn't even flinch the absolute Chad of a browser it is.

Cethin@lemmy.zip · 3 pts · 2y

Firefox is better about it, but it doesn't stop me from having several GB of RAM eaten up by all my tabs and windows.

XpeeN@sopuli.xyz · 2 pts · 2y

You can use Stash Tab extension and move the shame to a place you don't see near your face constnatly while ignoring it lol. And because it saves as different tabs (under date and time, although you might be able to edit the title name), it becomes a bit less overwhelming to come back to.

But yes, only at mobile I got around 200 tabs :(

I will never understand the need for a shit load of tabs for personal use. Work/school stuff, sure, but having tabs open for stuff "in case I need it later" is insane. Bookmark it.

at_an_angle@lemmy.one · 7 pts · 2y

Not important enough to bookmark, too important to close.

Pinning a tab hits the middle ground between these.

Azzu@lemm.ee · 6 pts · 2y (3 replies)

I have vertical tabs, so I can see ~30 tabs clearly on one window. Long time non-visited tabs also use no resources. Bookmarking would just be one more click, moving the tab somewhere not easily visible.

Default_Defect@midwest.social · 0 pts · 2y (2 replies)

My bookmarks are clearly visible and take only a single click to open. If you didn't have a ton of tabs just sitting there, maybe opening a new one wouldn't "move it somewhere not easily visible."

Azzu@lemm.ee · 2 pts · 2y (1 reply)

I have no bookmarks displayed, so doing it your way would only lose screen space for me. Tabs are displayed in any case, bookmarks or no.

Default_Defect@midwest.social · 1 pts · 2y

My bookmarks are on the same level as my address bar, I lose no space to this other than having a slightly shorter address bar, which is too long anyway.
