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.

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?
  - vaksel 17y 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...

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

~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 :-)
