Ask HN: How many tabs do you currently have open?

[vaksel]

How many different tabs/windows do you currently have open?

[hga]

~200 ^_^, all in Firefox: On my 32 bit XP system used for email (Eudora) and Flash/video, 17 in 2 windows.

On my 64 bit Linux system, two instances: ~80 in 4 windows for system (e.g. BackupPC console) and technical stuff (e.g. HN, Clojure development) and ~100 in 8 windows for general news, politics, recreation, etc.

83, across three windows in two browsers (chrome + firefox). I should probably cut them down a bit...

[vaksel]

For me:

General + site related(email, actual site, admin panel, twitter, facebook etc.): 19

Entertainment(online radio/HN): 2 (i usually try to do all the distracting stuff in a single tab)

Business related resources: 50

[Kliment]

32 Here. I treat them, with some exceptions, as a stack of stuff I've saved to read later. The exceptions are reference stuff I keep coming back to and HN.

What happens if your browser crashes?

[anigbrowl]

11. I have ADD so I get upset when I have too many open, it's better for my concentration to close them down except for a select few, including HN.

[mish]

39, typically anywhere from 25 - 75 if I'm working on something that requires me to do a lot of web research.

[corewarrior]

I can have as many 142 tabs open. Performance on firefox is good, although they do eat memory :-)

[maxtilford]

I have 42 tabs open. I use Firefox's tree tabs add-on. After pruning, I now have 22 tabs open.

[patrickryan]

12, but normally around 20.

[ganley]

13, including the 6 (such as this one) that I just opened from HN.

[greatfog]

I have 5 tabs open, including this one.

[abreu_alexandre]

30, and it's usually higher,

[roundsquare]

2, but its usually near 10.

[morphir]

3 - but usually around 10.
