Normal people don't have 50+ tabs open, ever. Your idea of who represents "nobody" is upside down.

Normal people don't have 50+ tabs open, ever. Your idea of who represents "nobody" is upside down.
- dbbk 10y agoYes I'm obviously an extreme example but the fact is, people who own a MacBook Pro are multitasking on it. They're not running one tab in just Safari with nothing else open.
- kevinherron 10y agoRight, I never meant to defend the CR test methodology here... it's pretty absurd.
- Veratyr 10y agoI think you have an idealistic view of the way normal people use computers, making an absolute statement like "ever". Here's an example of a "normal" person with 1250 of them: https://www.reddit.com/r/talesfromtechsupport/comments/4urdhi/how_many_tabs_is_too_many/ https://www.reddit.com/r/talesfromtechsupport/comments/4urdh... It's not a unique occurrence: https://www.reddit.com/r/talesfromtechsupport/comments/5iixeu/213_tabs/ https://www.reddit.com/r/talesfromtechsupport/comments/5iixe...
- kevinherron 10y agoDon't you think the fact that it was submitted to /r/talesfromtechsupport implies that it was something of note, and that a handful of people offering of anecdotes of their own bizarre encounter with a tab hoarder support my claim that it's not the way most people use a browser?
- Veratyr 10y agoMy point is that you didn't say "it's not the way most people use a browser", you said that normal people don't "ever" use that many tabs. You made an overly absolute statement and I'm refuting it.
- kevinherron 10y agoI concede that. But your initial use of "nobody" is also overly absolute.
- Veratyr 10y agoThat was someone else, not me.
