Text: My browser when I open the 42nd tab and beyond
A 2 panel image of Michael Jordan: Stop it. Get some help.
On Desktop, as soon as the tab bars are getting smaller to make room for more tabs on the screen, I feel like I have too many open.
You must never have tried tree style tabs extension.
and then you start nesting trees so deep that it’s hard to distinguish between the different levels D:
42 is supposed to be the exaggeration meme???
Bro my mobile browser has so many tabs open it stopped giving me a number and gives me a smiley face instead. It’s like 150.
“Stop it. Get some help.” - Your browser
Mine gives me an infinity symbol in Firefox iOS
Ngl mobile browsers are wack with the tabs. They don’t close when you close the app so mine just keep racking up the number.
How do you find which one you want with 150 open? Genuinely curious is all, I’m old and mostly use PC and can type quick enough to find what I want if I know which site (wikis for games and such). If I had to scroll through 150 tabs I’d spend half the time looking through a list so wonder how it helps to have that many open. Or maybe I just don’t read fast enough to scroll well.
I’ve got them grouped into categories. They’re glorified bookmarks really.
The search bar will show open tabs matching the query along side a switch to tab button. I’ve seen it on desktop anyway, I’d think it’s on mobile as well. I’d wager that individuals with that many tabs left open never go back to them though lol
I’ll never really understand this, I just bookmark stuff. I’ve never had more than maybe 15-20 open at the same time my entire life… Usually it’s just 5 or 6 max.
Yeah, I don’t understand it either. I’ve never had more then 300 open at the same time, anything more then that is weird.
Yeah, I’m in the same boat.
I’ll have a lot of tabs open with documentation and such as I’m working on things, but at the end of the day they are all either bookmarked if I need to continue the next day, or closed as I close my browser.
Then we have people like one of the consultants we have, that has 100+ tabs open, in several browser windows (different profiles), at all times. I wonder how much money we’ve wasted on him just by waiting for him to find the right tab when he wants to show us something in meetings…
That dude is just slow and doesn’t understand his tools. I have several thousand tabs open and it takes all of half a second to jump to any one of them. FF allows you to search open tabs just by using the address bar. Let’s say you’re researching camera lenses and you have 5 youtube videos open, several forum posts, the lens maker’s website open, and a bunch of different sales websites like adorama and b&h open. Do you literally bookmark those and close them all to end your day and then just reopen them the next? Why not just leave them open. FF handles it fine.
Simple tab groups in Firefox. Makes it easy, has a search bar, etc.
Invaluable when you have a ton of projects.
Only 42?
Once you hit 99+ in Firefox on mobile it changes to ∞
Average !Firefox@lemmy.world user
I feel called out 😅
I have had whatever number of tabs open on Firefox mobile where it stops giving you a number and you get the ∞ symbol…
I feel like mobile is fair. Things open new tabs automatically a lot more. But I have seen some scary posts asking how to organize tens of thousands of tabs. There’s a neat part to that.
Doesn’t Firefox on mobile can be configured to automatically close tabs after some period? I recall enabling that. That solves this problem!
I have it set to close after a week, but still reaching a point when ff no longer bothers to count them.
I actually use the feature that groups them when inactive long enough. If I save a tab on my computer I’m never going back to it but, for some reason, I do eventually get to it on my phone before closing. Usually news articles in reader mode.
The old Opera when it used the Pesto engine was even better at it.
I believe literally everyone who used Opera had the habit of having a lot of tabs. They were extremely lightweight.
Sadly they abandoned the engine and now Opera is yet another chrome clone.
Tab suspender and session manager goes brrrr
65 on my phone. None of them are junk, one is the new tab page so I can search immediately. 🤷
Stop it. Get some help.
Fuck off.
A fun Easter egg on Chromium browsers is that, when you get to 100 tabs, the number just turns into a smiley face.
I have that and the infinity symbol on Firefox right now on my phone
30 from it is stackoverflow, 10 are github, and 2 e926 pages.

Oh no don’t make me install this
You mean 420
Guess I need rehab.
I once closed 9k tabs on the phone. I swear I felt a mild earthquake and power went off in the whole building. Eye of google appeared before me with hissy “I see you”
