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.
That’s what I thought, but many people here say otherwise.
I like bookmarks because I can categorize them into drop down menus that make sense to me.
Same. Having a logical subfolder structure and maybe even tags just makes it so much nicer IMO.
However, that’s not the only way to roll. Lots of people here prefer to use tabs instead.
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.
In that use-case: Sounds like bookmarks need a feature upgrade
