Sometimes, people have so much to do on the internet that they have to multitask. This usually takes form as more than one tab. Either they are using one tab to listen to music while using another to write, or using multiple tabs for information, the ability to have multiple tabs is VERY useful.

I usually have around 50+ tabs up on my Google Chrome. I have to manually crash my Adobe Flash Player often just so Google Chrome doesn't crash itself. I hibernate my computer instead of shutting it down so that the tabs are always there.

How many tabs do YOU usually keep? 1 tab? 2? 3? 10? 20?

I normally have 4-5 tabs open.
These are usually YouTube, Twitter, this site, Serenes Forest and something else.

Erm... A lot! Currently I have 142 tabs open, but thanks to a Firefox extension that lets me categorize them I don't lose track. Also, Firefox has the ability to save the tabs that were open when the browser was last closed, so I don't have to use hibernation.

I try to keep no more than five tabs up on Chrome at a time. It prevents what I call tab overload, not a pretty sight.

Around 5-6, but definitely no more than that.

My Email, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Serebii, and this site.

Call me weird, but I can have as many as 22 tabs open at the same time, but I try not have them all on the same window, 'cause that just drives me nuts. I just separate each tab into 2-3 windows in what I call categories, so that way, when I'm switching windows, I'll only be able to look at 5 or 6 tabs. I usually divide each tab into special groups like one window will hold twitter, SS forums, anime I'm watching, serebii.net, pokemon.marriland.com, and sometimes facebook and another window will hold Youtube videos. Sometimes when there is too much of one thing on a window, I separate those tabs into a 3rd window, 'cause as I said, having too much on one window drives me nuts.

Does this make sense? Also, go EpicCh33se! I also hibernate my computer 'cause I don't wanna lose anything.

On average I think I have just 2 tabs, one being a music video on YouTube and the other being whatever it is I'm doing at that given moment. My absolute maximum is 5. I really can't stand having a huge number of tabs open.

Prospering
08-12-2012, 08:29 AM
Typically 3-4 for me I always have my Email open and Im also usually on Youtube and Facebook

I generally keep about four in a specific order as well. SuperSkarmory (tab 1), YouTube (tab 2), tumblr (tab 3), Google (tab 4).

Shiningbolt
08-12-2012, 02:02 PM
For some reason, I have about 12 tabs up even though I only use 3 tabs per day. The others sort of remind me of what I want to do (they're all related to each other) but I'm always too lazy to do it.

Judge Mandolore Shepard

I would have to say that the max amount of tabs I keep open on my browser is up to two.

Red
08-12-2012, 03:37 PM
The maximum I keep open is as much as my Firefox window can take without having to scroll through them. I think that's about 10. It normally doesn't get that high though unless I'm doing something and I forget about it.

Giratina720

About 3 or more Tabs. Most tabs are from this site, youtube, research (like Serebii) and another forum. It depends if I'm into alot of websites that I'm researching something. Then I will have more tabs then my original. But I don't know exactly, what is the most tabs I ever open.

I usually have 20 plus. It's usually of images I want to save or reddit threads that I want to read but don't have the time to look through. If I am watching a particular series online I also have a tab open to the episode I am on.

Cheese your going to trash your computer. Especially because you never turn it off. What a waste of power. Personally, i HATE excess tabs on my brower. This is the only tab i keep open in chrome. When im busy, i have up to 5, and close them whenever i finish

FelsicFurret
09-19-2012, 12:46 AM
For me, typically 2, maybe 3. Typically I listen to music as I browse, so I have one tab with music from YouTube, and one tab for whatever site I am browsing at the moment.

Really depends, I get kinda OCD about keeping my tabs neat. XD But 3 seems to be the typical amount I'll keep open - usually youtube, tumblr, etc. Comes down to what I'm doing

Kyoits

How in the world do you have over 15 tabs open while keeping track of them all?

I have around 7 or so open on my Firefox. YouTube, facebook, CNN, the occasional interwebs shopping, and maybe even a wiki page.

herothezero
07-25-2013, 10:45 PM

Majorasfan
07-26-2013, 01:28 AM
Generally 2-3 at a time, but the max is usually 10 for me, definitely not more (and that's when I'm listening to Youtube stuff).

But I always close them all when I close the browser, so I always at least go through them.

Hakuiin
07-26-2013, 01:58 AM
I keep open about 3-7 and at most, 13

pikachumaster

I'm paranoid about that stuff.

SuperPikachuTNT

marissachu
07-26-2013, 06:45 AM
I usually keep between 3 and 6 up, the primary three being Twitter, YouTube, and the forums and sometimes including Netflix, email, and random sites if a need for any of them arises.

Patriot
07-26-2013, 07:39 PM
I've kinda adapted nowadays to keeping 6 to 10 tabs up, but I do close tabs whenever I'm doing anything CPU-intensive cause having many Chrome tabs open hogs up a LOT of memory.
