Some web applications force me to open their screens in separate tabs and windows, by making the screens remove any filtering on revisit by back button. And thus I have 20 tabs open that all start with the same meaningless word.
This hurts me on a spiritual level. I would die if I had 14 tabs open. I used to be bad about having too many tabs open, but now it just kills me inside.
You’d hate watching me work. I frequently have 50+ open, and after a project, I’ll close >100.
One of my friends is the worse tab hoarder I’ve ever seen.
Dude even had even script on his PC to actively backup his tabs for the inevitable moment his browser or PC would crash
I know someone’s gonna say ‘doesn’t Firefox backup tabs automatically in the event of a crash anyway?’ and you’d be correct
But ONE TIME it didn’t and left my buddy distraught which is why he has multiple fail-safes now.
I believe there is an add on called “Tab stash” or something like that on firefox. It stashes tabs so that the use can restore them later.
It’s been some time since I last used it. seeing your comment just reminded me of it. Thanks

Hey, Simple Tab Groups do this for me!
No shame in that. My phone’s at 305 tabs. I’ll look random things up throughout the day and sometimes I’ll find a longer article that I’d like to read later. But I hate reading on my phone. So it just hangs out until my next tab purge, which is perhaps a yearly event.
Few feelings are more freeing than closing basically all of them down. Usually I don’t even miss them, essentially all upside.
I’m at 5k ±300 currently. Tab groups and containers for organization. I used tree for a while but all the plugins I’ve tried are janky and lack integration. This isn’t a whole lot better but the container integration is nice for things with accounts.
Those G’s are what you should be embarrassed about, not the amount of tabs. ◉‿◉
ik ;p
What are the G’s? I’ve tried everything I can think of but I can’t find it
How do YOU know what the G’s mean, boo?
Stare into the abyss long enough and the evil god of knowledge tells you things.
that’s a christmas tree from above, and no amount of tentacles will convince me otherwise.
Sidebery And userchrome.css to hide the default tab bar
I have developed a sense to bookmark all of my tabs when there are too many. I store all of them in a folder and later I order the tabs in the folder in my other folders or just delete them. I can’t live with more than 6 tabs opened because I just forget why I want them.
Tab hoarding is just poor man’s bookmarks.
Oh wait, you’re on Gelbooru. Nevermind, I get it.

Do you have a minute to talk about our lord and savior Hydrus?
Oh dear. I regret.
NSFW warning for anyone who doesn’t understand this comment.
At least show 14 tabs of something other than porn, maybe you’ll be less embarrassed that way?
How is that embarrassing? I have literally 639 tabs right now, across 39 windows. Just live your life as you see fit.
Finally, someone who understands me
My god
I usually clear mine out when I get over 150 or so. My workflow absolutely doesn’t work on Chrome, but Firefox seems to handle it fine.
Yeah, I see no issue with this. Im not gonna save seasons or bookmark entire window, Ill just leve it there, why not. RAM is there to be used.
Probably because 10 out of 14 of them are porn lol
How much memory does your computer have?
32gb. The browser is using about 11.2gb of ram at the moment, but I haven’t restarted the browser or the computer in about a week. After a browser restart it’s usually only using 5~6gb, though that steadily climbs as I reactivate hibernated tabs.
Reposting from a previous comment I’ve made about this topic:
Bookmarks are for things I’ll need to reference again and again in the coming years. I do keep a tightly-curated bookmark collection, I just don’t want it clogged up with a bunch of stuff I can’t foresee needing in the long term.
Tabs are for things I’m working on right now and don’t need bookmarking for the long term. And, for what it’s worth, most of the browser windows are custom-titled, so the windows themselves are a lot like bookmark folders, while the tabs are like temporary bookmarks.
Plus, the ability to search through tabs by hitting Ctrl+Shift+A means that it ends up being faster to search through my tabs than my bookmarks, without using the mouse. ex: Ctrl+Shift+A, Type needed page, up/down arrows if needed, then hit enter to move to the tab. With Ctrl+Shift+O, you don’t get the same ease of scrolling the results without tabbing through a bunch of junk first.
There are other reasons, including neurological ones surely, but those are my primary justifications.
…why?

In Firefox Ctl+T opens a new tab, "% " will search your open tabs.
You caught me. I still daily drive Chrome. I am an on-again off-again Firefox user and have been for nearly 2 decades.
That said, I appreciate that input. I’ve been working on switching over to using Firefox as my daily driver, but it’s going to take some time for me to fully transition, unless you know of an extension or script that can migrate all my chrome tabs over to Firefox. I’m curious to see if it can handle my full browsing habits, now that they’ve evolved into what most would consider “tab hoarder” behavior.

That’s not too many.
Before it broke, I had 58 tabs open on my phone, currently I have only 19. Although on desktop I generally don’t cross 10.
But my aunt surpassed everything.
Her Chrome (Android) doesn’t even show a number anymore. It’s just “:D” -
Mine is like that lol
I guess if there were a way to turn off favicons -//-
On Firefox Android after ~100 tabs the amount is replaced with ∞.
On mine it is permanently ∞.
Are you sure they’re not just under inactive tabs?
I know exactly where they all are. I just can’t ever get myself below 100 tabs LOL
