How many tabs/windows do you tend to have open when online?

Just curious.

I rarely have more than 5 but I know people who have so many that you can't tell what's what.

How do you internet?

(Not talking about restaurant tabs & car/house windows either)

I typically have at least four or more open at a time, usually because I've picked out multiple articles that I want to read but get distracted by something else before actually reading them.

I'm probably one of those people who have more than 20)))
I open windows with interesting info and I think that someday I read and anyway they hang debugging information with reading

usually around 5-8 tabs at once. Usually there's one tab for watching something, and I leave that open so I can get back to watching whenever I feel like it. Then zd stays open most of the time, and then the rest come and go throughout the day. I don't really know why, but I always like to have a new tab open always, and whenever I put away my computer or tablet I like to leave it on that new tab, with nothing on it.

Edit: and for the window part, I'll usually have two, my browser and my writing

4-5 is about right. Mostly it's Reddit posts for viewing in a moment, and Youtube playing something in the background.

I mean, ideally I'd have only have like 4 or so open at a time in one window (which would just be the main sites I browse), but somehow I always end up with double digits. Usually it's just stuff I want to read but haven't yet, or for forums threads I want to post in but haven't.

I usually have more than 15 open at a time. I like to leave things open if there's a chance I need to go back to whatever is on there, for the sake of convenience. Tabs stay open for months sometimes.

Totaly agree)))

My phone probably gets up to around a hundred tabs before I remember to close them all.

For my computer generally I have around 20 or more tabs open during the semester as I keep them open in various windows as I work on assignments from start to finish (I don't turn off my computer for months at a time). Outside the semester it drops down to less than ten usually though.
