I sometimes wonder about this ... It is very rare for me to have more than 10 tabs open at once per window/monitor. Often just 4 or 5. I close the browser frequently (multiple times a day potentially) and start with a clean sheet each time the browser starts. I feel uneasy if I have 10+ open at once and will regularly groom tabs' ordering, culling ones if they are not something I am working on right now (... or in the next 30 mins etc)
I have seen people at work with hundreds open spending ages trying to find the right tab for a presentation or spreadsheet or log file or whatever. It just feels like the sort of people with "lots" of tabs are the disorganised ones who forget to email you back when they say they will or turn up late to meetings. Are they just disorganised examples, and there are actually organised people that use hundreds of tabes at once?
To people with this many tabs, why do you do it?
The only explanation I've heard is "I'll look at this later" but that is what bookmarks or navigation history or search engines are for?
- dropofwill 5y agoBookmarks are a pain to manage and navigation history expires. I guess I use tabs like automatically created bookmarks, when i’m done with them i just close the tab. I have fuzzy search across the tabs, so i never click around on a tab looking for what i want.
