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?
Yeah I don’t get it, some people have 100s, dude that is what bookmarks are for.
I keep a huge pile of tabs open for things I need to keep an eye on but not necessarily interact with unless something changes. Bookmarks don’t have notifications, open tabs do.
That’s what I thought, but many people here say otherwise.
