I’m a good boy and always close my tabs! ^^
Sometimes I see some coworkers having hundreds of tabs open, and I just don’t understand why or how. Any tab hoarders here who can explain?“I might need it later”.
Bookmarks are heresy.

And then they come to you complaining about how slow their computer is. I cannot magically make the 11 year old workstation that they insist on abusing with 200+ chrome tabs magically go as fast as their neighbor’s who is using it as a glorified email machine.
Yep, has happened in the past. But nowadays browsers are pretty good at minimizing the cpu usage of background tabs. Also, most of our developers’ workstations are configured with 64 GB ram, which, come to think of it, might be enabling the addiction in the first place…
This is why you backup your Firefox profile, kids.
If he’s been a real bad boy, they might remove the backups too :3
I feel claustrophobic when I have more than 5 tabs.
I’m curious whether people who have tons of tabs open ever turn off their computer? I always turn mine off in the evening or whenever else I think I’m done for the day because I never know when I’ll turn it on again, and leaving it running for 14+ hours just doesn’t feel right.
(~600 tabs) I don’t turn it off, but I do put it to sleep. The growth is usually looking into something, or finding something interesting I want to come back to. Each time that happens it probably adds ~20 tabs. I’m almost always on my computer, or a computer sitting just next to it.
Wow, that’s a lot of tabs! How often do you close tabs because you’re done looking into something? And would you safeword in the OP’s scenario?
Once every few months I try to clear out a bunch. The last time was probably close to 150. Some are reminders, I really should do it a better way, but its really easy to forget about something in a bookmark and sometimes I just want to remember to come back to some silly comic and having it sometimes in view is enough. Honestly yea there is a chance loosing the tabs would cause me to tap out. For unloaded tabs they aren’t in history and some of them have been there for… years. It would really bother me to not know what was lost.
