Tabbed browser users

[Lonyo]

2 tabs, 110MB

 

[potato28]

2 tabs, usually its 12 or 13 during the night.

 

[Alistar7]

1 tab is too many....

 

[grohl]

usually about five.

 

[Bateluer]

I have a feeling most people in there are merely trying to inflate their e-penis.

Honestly, I never have more than 3 to 5 tabs open. I close the tabs I finished with/no longer need.

Unless you're surfing porn or warez, there's no way to realistically open 234 tabs. You'd barely be able to select the tab because it'd be so small.

I don't use tabs, they are annoying as hell, just use different windows for each thing. Right now I have 3 windows open, usually don't go above 5-10. Not sure why you would really need more than 10, how can you even hold that many trains of though in your head at the same time, seems like if you have 30 tabs/windows you would just have 20 open that you were done with and should just close?

 

[Dualist]

Four tabs so far, I'm just multitasking on the Net right now.

 

[SmoochyTX]

Right now:

26 tabs open in Firefox
13 tabs open in IE
15 tabs open in Opera

Opera FTW

seriously!

I dropped FF a while back cause of the retarded amounts of memory it used, Opera uses much less memory.

Wouldn't take much memory to handle 26 web pages if Firefox wasn't a piece of shit that leaked memory faster than the Titanic.

I often have 50+ tabs open across several browser windows, but it's not uncommon for me to have to restart Firefox because it decides to use a ridiculous amount of memory or 100% of one of my cores' processing time.

This happens to me too.

When I hit a forum I will usually spawn off the sub forums into their own windows and then all the threads I want to read in tabs.

FF everyonce and a while goes insane. I like it better than IE7 still.

Thant's kind of interesting so you are sorta doing a postorder tree traversal and pushing all the sites onto tabs (stack) and then reading them. Interesting to use a recursive approach to internet surfing. Still seems kind of weird to me personally to spawn 30 different tabs off instead of just doing the reading in order.

 

[secretanchitman]

no windows, 5 tabs.

using camino...firefox and safari SUCK in leopard.

sort of why my internet logs at work are insane as well. I do a lot of stuff while I am surfing the net. Pulling up my key posts help me remember what I want to comment on esp when they drop off the main page or I get side-tracked.

The trick is to always refresh the thread though so you get the current replies. Sometimes I forget to do this.

I wish FF didn't shut down on an alt F-X without warning about multiple tabs. That feature only seems to work when try to close FF with alt F-C.

Just tried alt fx and ff asked about closing all tabs. The default option in tabs is to "warn me when closing multiple tabs".

Have started using ctrl-w instead of alt f4 or alt fc in ff and ie since it will only close one tab if more than one exists but will close the app if only one tab exists - also closes explorer but not much else - so much for window's consistency.

 

[0roo0roo]

i try to keep it under 60
...i try.
i tend to spawn off tabs off links i'll read later in a queue sorta thing. never get around to some it seems
and yea thank god for cheap memory. using 400 now, sometmies it does hit 500mb for firefox alone.
i dont really care though. tabsmixplus and febe keep the pain to a minimum if browser crashes with lots of tabs open though this version of firefox seems pretty stable, no crashes in quite some time now.

 

[oogabooga]

2, usually hovers around 4-6

 

[soydios]

browsing pattern goes like this:
1.) open FF (one window)
2.) open startup folder
3.) check email tabs first
4.) check eBay/Amazon.com for updates
4a.) check news tabs (New York Times, DailyTech, Excite.com)
4b.) middle-click any interesting stories, then read them
5a.) open ATOT
5b.) middle-click any interesting threads, then read them

so I usually go from 6 tabs, to 20+ tabs, to one tab, to 20+ tabs
w00t 4GB RAM!

 

[Jeff7181]

I usually have one window with 3-5 tabs. I don't do that much stuff on the Internet that would require more tabs. I could leave more open but it would be pointless because I'd forget I had a tab open for a specific site already and open another one.

 

[imported_LoKe]

1 browser, three tabs.

I rarely have more than 2 active tabs, but I'll sometimes middle click on a bunch of threads and read 'em one at a time.
