I just wanted to know how many tabs other people have open in their browsers.

I don't use tabs ever. I open everything in a new window.

Any chance a mod could add the option: "Zero - I don't use tabs, I open new windows" to the poll options? Thanks.

Anyway. I've tried that too, but I found it's easier to manage and switch between separate webpages within the browser. It's alot less clicking and doesn't require "Alt + Tab."

Normally 1 unless I am searching. I try to minimize my Internet exposure.

5-7 is what I put for the average, but there are many times when it exceeds 30. It drives my wife crazy :)

I don't get how people open a bunch of tabs unless you're using tabs like a reading list or something.

I don't go much more than 10.

What do you use them for?

Some, like forums are always open. I also have some web tools I use, and those are pinned as app tabs. The others are like temporary bookmarks. Stuff I want to keep for a little while, but don't want to hassle with setting a bookmark, and deleting it later.

Interesting. I have tons of bookmarks that I hit occasionally, but I only keep about 5 things open at once.
