didn't know ALT + TAB is faster than CTRL+TAB ... in my informal test .. they both go as fast as you can smash on the button.

I don't have tabs, I use alt-tab.

That said, I currently have 6 IE windows open.

Very low for me, I just rebooted.

Currently only 3...but I don't really get up to much more than 6 or so...my work laptop only has 256mb of ram, and having firefox with loads of tabs, outlook, excel, vb and photoshop open really sucks up the memory :(

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 ?

I never knew about ctrl-tab, I shall now use my tabs to their fullest. :)

reminds me, using firefox is there anyway to reload all of the tabs at once using a key combo?

oh yeah I usually have 4 tabs open at all times.

i have a MAJOR pet peve when it comes to Tabs or open windows. I HATE it. Ergo i have less than 5 at all times. Anything else i go crazy for some reason.

in opera you can hold down the RMB, and use your scroll wheel to browse through tabs
