I think this is a generational question. I'm anal about tabs being left open like a light in the house being on

[–] otter@lemmy.ca 3 points 11 months ago

Which generation leaves them open/closed?

I haven't noticed a pattern, but I also haven't really explored

If I'm not actively using a tab, I'll close it, unless I'm working on a longer term project. Right now I'm planning a fairly long trip to South America, so I've had several travel sites up for multiple weeks.

Edit: am X/millennial cusp.

My ex and I were the same age and totally different on this. I open tabs, close them, don’t leave any open long term. She’d have Safari open with dozens or hundreds as far as I could tell. But I operate like an older millennial and she has the sensibilities of a boomer - TV on 18 hours a day, etc
