My browser doesn't have tabs :)

Alt-tab is faster than search, point and click... and I know you can ctrl-tab for switching tabs, but that's not any faster. I only have 4 windows open max at any given time anyway... even when comparison shopping earlier for mobos/cpus/etc. on newegg with review windows open, I only had 4 windows open. WTF are you doing with 18 ?

None right now as I am using IE, but when I use firefox it's normally only 3-5.

I start looking at something and normally follow links and it adds up:p I don't really use "favorites" so there are normally 10 open on startup that I always look at, and I get up to 18 or so after 10 mins:p

I was looking at some porn earlier, so I think I had maybe 15-20 tabs open.

I usually have a couple open, 2-7, but any more and it just gets too messy. I'd rather open another browser window.

If my internet connection was better, then I would have 10 at all times. I only have one right now as the packet shaper/routers/switches can't handle all the traffice thrown at them by the spyware and viruses that everyone does not seem to care about.

It really depends. On a peak night with ATOT going at full steam, I can have 21+ tabs open at once. Usually it is closer to 5-10 for threads I want to reply to but am waiting for other responses, and another 3 or 4 for work I am doing. I voted 16-20 as an average.

Never heard of/seen these tabs before... but I usually have 1-3 IE browsers open.
