Actually only 263 at the moment on my phone.

Why did tabs replace bookmarks? Do you not value your RAM? No, I don't care how many gigabytes of RAM you have, it doesn't invalidate my point. I have lots of RAM too.

[–] hexagonwin@lemmy.today 1 points 14 hours ago

i think modern browsers (at least firefox) doesn't keep background tabs all active in memory. my friend has like 200 tabs but memory usage isn't that huge.

Zero on my phone, zero on my PC

My phone tells me I have ∞ open.

I'm not sure how to easily count on my computer (firefox), I have vertical tabs on, I have to scroll, and many of the tabs are in collapsed groups...

And before you ask, yes all the tabs are important and necessary.

[–] ChonkyOwlbear@lemmy.world 13 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I don't know. Firefox displays an infinity symbol after 99.

[–] Admetus@sopuli.xyz 3 points 4 days ago

And I may have god knows how many inactive tabs. Ha!

[–] bobbyfiend@retrolemmy.com 12 points 4 days ago

Look. I don't come here to be verbally abused.

Shhh... We don't talk about those

[–] BananaPeal@sh.itjust.works 10 points 4 days ago

All of them.

[–] B0rax@feddit.org 7 points 4 days ago

I have just tidied up a bit… my phone was on ~470ish tabs. (Btw, did you know that the limit in safari on iOS is 500 tabs?)

Now my phone has 50.

Work computer: 52 across 3 browsers, with 4 total 'tab groups'

Home computer: 22 with 1 browser and 3 'tab groups'

Phone: 0 (unless the new tab page counts that opens when I open my browser)

[–] BassTurd@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I have a tab group on my desktop with tools to maintain my Plex server. I think there are 4 tabs in it. That's collapsed, but there. Then I'll have the one tab I'm actually using, often a second tab on another monitor streaming music or video.

0 tabs on phone.

0 tabs on laptop.

Reading through these comments... There's a lot of psychos in here. Some of y'all have hundreds of tabs open. Why?

[–] Krzd@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

Phone: 71 (largely grouped, maybe 20 "independent" ones)
Desktop: ~700, spit into 6 windows, and grouped inside those windows, Vivaldi is a life saver if you're hording

Phone = 1701

Laptop = 6

Desktop = 0

[–] Nemo@slrpnk.net 6 points 4 days ago (1 children)

four, anything more than a handful makes me anxious

[–] helix@feddit.org 4 points 4 days ago

Same, that's why I open more than 100 on my phone so the number disappears 😬

[–] braindamagebuddy@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

phone ~50

tablet ~30

pc ~20

work pc ~100

I used to be a no tabs person too, what happened ;-;

Only 29.

Well, 30 now that I opened this thread in a new tab.

But yeah. That's on the low side compared to usual for me.

(Firefox on a Raspberry Pi 4.)

how does it do with videos using your browser?

[–] rockSlayer@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Damn, I'm impressed that your rpi can handle that many tabs. Mine can only handle a few loaded pages at a time

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

My experience is that it has more to do with what's loaded in the tab than how many tabs are open. One tab can cause everything to run at like 1fps if it's bloated. ("Graphic design is my passion" kind of pages with tons of animations, usually.) But 100 Lemmy-UI tabs is no problem at all.

Home PC: 5

Phone: Infinity symbol

Work PC: 43

[–] NichtElias@sh.itjust.works 5 points 4 days ago

Phone: 59 Desktop: 400+ Luckily Firefox doesn't actually load all of those

[–] doctorbirb@lemmy.ml 5 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

And I was thinking I am really bad with my 6 opened... πŸ˜…

[–] a4ng3l@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

In the browser you ask? 194 + 9 incognito.

[–] kugel7c@feddit.org 3 points 4 days ago

[–] tyler@programming.dev 3 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Phone: 169 in Safari, inf in Firefox Computers: uhhhhhhh probably several thousand? It would take quite a while to get a number.

Probably 150-200 on my PC.

About 4 on my phone.

Yes I have a problem, no I don't wanna talk about it.

[–] dhcmrlchtdj__@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

Hate to say it but I have probably 500 tabs opened combined

[–] dsilverz@catodon.rocks 1 points 3 days ago

Phone = 3 on Fennec (Catodon Home Feed, the Lemmy global feed from a Lemmy instance and the Wiktionary definition for "sturgeon")

Laptop (where I'm currently) = 2 on Waterfox (Catodon writing this reply, and your Lemmy thread as seen from a Lemmy instance)

!asklemmy@lemmy.ml

[–] Hudell@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 days ago

Phone = 1

Work PC = 100+ (most of them pinned and organized into folders)

Personal PC = ~10

[–] fubarx@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

On laptop, go until browser crashes in a loop.

One time, had to reboot three times so I could close some of the windows before they locked up.

PC = 1 Mobile phone = yes

[–] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I have a bookmark folder called Zombie Tabs that I periodically tidy the zombie tabs into

[–] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 3 points 5 days ago

Also there's a FF extension called Tab Session Manager that removes the problem of keeping hold of tabs entirely
