How many different tabs/windows do you currently have open?

vaksel2• 17 years ago

For me:

General + site related(email, actual site, admin panel, twitter, facebook etc.): 19

Entertainment(online radio/HN): 2 (i usually try to do all the distracting stuff in a single tab)

Business related resources: 50

I have 42 tabs open. I use Firefox's tree tabs add-on. After pruning, I now have 22 tabs open.

11. I have ADD so I get upset when I have too many open, it's better for my concentration to close them down except for a select few, including HN.

Kliment• 17 years ago

32 Here. I treat them, with some exceptions, as a stack of stuff I've saved to read later. The exceptions are reference stuff I keep coming back to and HN.

What happens if your browser crashes?

vaksel2• 17 years ago

firefox saves your browsing history, so it just reloads when you come back(and you can even hit the back button)

83, across three windows in two browsers (chrome + firefox). I should probably cut them down a bit...

morphir• 17 years ago

3 - but usually around 10.

patrickryan• 17 years ago

12, but normally around 20.

abreu_alexandre• 17 years ago

30, and it's usually higher,

ganley• 17 years ago

13, including the 6 (such as this one) that I just opened from HN.

roundsquare• 17 years ago

2, but its usually near 10.

mish• 17 years ago

39, typically anywhere from 25 - 75 if I'm working on something that requires me to do a lot of web research.

greatfog• 17 years ago

I have 5 tabs open, including this one.

~200 ^_^, all in Firefox: On my 32 bit XP system used for email (Eudora) and Flash/video, 17 in 2 windows.

On my 64 bit Linux system, two instances: ~80 in 4 windows for system (e.g. BackupPC console) and technical stuff (e.g. HN, Clojure development) and ~100 in 8 windows for general news, politics, recreation, etc.

I can have as many 142 tabs open. Performance on firefox is good, although they do eat memory :-)
