I've set the browser to close all tabs when I close the broswer. So whenever I start, I start fresh. Doesn't seem to result in a mess.

I just did a big cleanup! I think it's down to about 40 on my work computer and 70ish on my computer.

Don't ask about the phone I'm typing this on... It's a lost cause.

Firefox on android keeps garbage collecting tabs too aggressively for me to do my thing.

On my personal Firefox, five pinned and usually 3-4 more. On my work Firefox, six pinned and 4-6 more in one window, and probably another 6-10 on a window in the other monitor.

If I can't see at least part of the page title on each tab, I start feeling anxious. I do a lot of bookmarking, sending to Pocket, etc.

I'm on my phone so none.

Apps however...

[–] ctag@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 11 months ago

Apps ought to count, given so many of them should have just been a webpage in the first place.

No more than 10 per browser, i like using multiple browser profiles. For example one browser profile just for YouTube, the other for Reading.

[–] kalkulat@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Seldom more than 5 or 6 before using Firefox to 'close tabs to right'. It keeps a short history of recently visited URLs in the toolbar, and a deeper, searchable 'library' of visited sites going way back. Longer term interests I save to Bookmarks.

[–] ctag@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 11 months ago

That sounds like a good process.

68(I realize how close it is) on my phone. My PC gets shut down daily so it cannot accumulate too many but normally I have 2 browsers with ~4-8 tabs unless I'm researching something, then it's 193,646,691

4 windows with 36 tabs on my desktop, 29 tabs on my phone browser. In my defense I'm shopping for a pillow and need to compare and find something that will work. It's not going well because it is nearly impossible to find anything that isn't cheap Chinese shit nowadays. Even the expensive "top brand" products not ordered from Amazon end up being low quality crap.
