I, personally, can’t handle having more than like 6 tabs open at a time (not including pinned tabs, which I can have 1 or 2 of at a time on top of that). It gets to where I actively close tabs to try to get my tab number closer to like 2 - 4, which is usually where i’m comfortable with.

    I open up walls of tabs, then methodically go through each one, diving into it for anything relevant, then closing as I back out. Although this is probably normal browser habit.

    I forget to close them, get to like 40, can’t even read what they say cuz they’re so small, leave Ctrl W pressed till I have like 2 tabs, start again. Forget, bulk delete, forget, bulk delete. I used to hoard them but I since learned there’s nothimg important i can’t find from either history, google, memory or messages i send to save information on chats.

    2k tabs on work computer, another 3k on my personal notebook. I quite literally have tabs from 2 years ago and refuse to close them. And at least 10 pinned tabs in each

    I dunno if it’s weird or not, but I like having a menu bar and a separate search box. Fortunately, Firefox still accommodates me.

    I think my limit is around 8-10 tabs, basically if I start having a hard time seeing the names of tabs I start pruning them.

    Sometimes I like to go crazy wiki diving and middle clicking every link I think is interesting. I use tree style tabs plugin to help organize and it also makes it very easy to close the parent wiki tab to mass close when I’m done.

    Downside is once in a rare moon my all of my plugins will crash and firefox will refuse to restore previous session

      I had no idea this existed. Going to have to look for one now. Would make it so nice to clean up those rabbit holes. Thanks!

      Because I can deal with so little, or because I can deal with so much? Or some other reason?

        Because you manage to go through the tabs you open. I have many tabs because I leave a lot of them for later.

    I tab hoard too much, I no longer count my tabs, instead I count windows. Keeping it under 100 windows is a struggle. Each window is ~10-20+ tabs.

    It’s mostly YT, Rddit, and Pixiv. I keep open stuff I want to watch/read later but instead I forget. Only time I remember is when I go to close it causing me to just keep it longer.

    I often use middle-mouse-click to open new tabs, I have macros setup on my mouse for ctrl+tab, ctrl+shift+tab, ctrl+f4; aka Next tab, Prev Tab, Close Tab. This just makes browsing simpler and one-handed easier.
