How many tabs do you have open currently?

Are you a multiple tabber or do you prefer to keep it in low numbers? Or even... *shudders* at one?

Occasionally two if I'm looking for a link for something to use on the first one.

Any more than that and my brain melts.

One. How do you do it? Do you just close tabs or something when you're done with them? Don't have ones to come back to?

My open screens on my phone kinda resemble the cahos of my life. Many open, trying to remember what I was doing, daydreams and wishes of foreign lands and beautiful clothes, and of course music!

All of which results in my phone not performing in the way it should. Again, resembling life.

Oh gosh I have a ridiculous amount open. It kind of represents all the different shit going through my mind at that moment in time. So currently have a cooking one, Italian history and furniture restoration pages open amongst others. It also acts as a reminder because there is so much going through my head, I won't forget something. Oh and if I'm buying someone a gift for example there will be a tonne more as decision paralysis occurs. My life is chaos, and to think I used to think this was normal

Three. Three. I thought you'd be saying at least twenty three. So you only keep one tab for random shit? What happens if there's multiple random shit you want to look up, all at once?

Let's skip the laptop yeah? We don't need to bringing those poor overused and overworked things in to it.

One is very... restrained.

So you're talking to someone and they bring up several things you want to Google. Do you just go through those things one at a time?

Then you need to remember what you were looking for and when you were looking for it.

Tabs in android are so easy because they're like a mini screenshot. All organised neatly.

No more than a few at any one time really. If there's something I need it gets bookmarked. I've a few folders bookmarked with bits and pieces I largely never re-visit, but they at least have stuff if I ever need it.

'Restore previous session' is a decent feature, especially if there are multiple tabs open and the browser crashes. Not tried it after shutting down though

28 if I include Fab, all solo incognito and that.

Rarely have more than 50, but will close in groups - eg had loads more yesterday but then decided on something, so closed all related tabs. Not sure I could cope with many more. My brain is too small.

Decision paralysis is such a thing! I currently have eight open on one thing. Giving myself until midday to make a decision and book it and close seven.

I think a chaotic tab system can represent a chaotic mind quite often.

You could take a picture of the list, or even of the inside of your fridge. And once done, you can have the satisfaction of deleting it to mark it as done.

I wonder if it allows more information to be condensed into one place than text?
