How many tabs do you have open in your browser on your phone right now?

I have 65

I think I have a problem.

1,does 65 not get annoying? Apart from anything it will slow your phone right down.

Only twenty odd. That's not too bad is it? I open articles, links people have sent me and then get around to reading them when I'm in the headspace.

You would think so but I haven't noticed a drop in performance.

Yes! That's exactly how I end up with so many, too.

I save things that way. I will be browsing and may see something I don’t want to lose for some reason, so I just open a new tab. Once I have used the info or bought the thing etc I will close the tab. I’ve had some sat there for a year or more in the past.

I do this, too. My oldest tab is the South Wales Three Peaks Trial. I probably had it for two years or more and still haven't done it

64, currently. This is after making a determined effort to reduce the number; if I just go with the flow, I end up with over a hundred.

Every time I try open one my phone reminds me I can only have 99 tabs and I need to close something, so I guess I always have 99

Depends on phone/os but it should not really impact much if the tabs are not active.

I tend to kill a window once finished with it and use search to open what I need whrn I need it. That’s usually far quicker than scrolling through all the tabs to try and find something!

What’s cool about Apple ecosystem too is that all ‘tabs’ are synced actiss devices so something on mac ornipad easy to find on phone.

My phone would splutter and die at that number. Usually 6 or 7 is my limit. I just take a screenshot of things I want to remember so my screenshot folder is bulging instead.
