I just saw a coworker with something like 30 tabs open in Chrome. I also know someone who regularly hits the 500-tab limit on their phone, though I suspect that’s more about being messy than anything else.
When I’m researching something, I might have 10-50 tabs open for a while, but once I’m done, I close them all. If I need them again, browser history is there.
Why do people keep so many tabs open? Is there a workflow or habit I’m missing? Do they just never clean up, or is there a real benefit to tab hoarding? I’m genuinely curious. Why do people do that?
Yeah, actually they might. I do use bookmarks too, but for more permanent things, like recipes and car sites (I’m a car guy). For projects I’m working on and will move along when I’m finished I didn’t want them polluting my bookmarks. I guess I could delete the bookmarks too. Look I never said it made any sense. Ugh.
