    What do browsers even let you do this? I feel like it should cap out at like 200 max. Nobody even needs 200 but there’s got to be some kind of limit somewhere.

          I had fifty open one day after working a tech related bug. I wasn’t getting anywhere so I closed it out and switched search engines. Less than thirty minutes later I and found a solution.

          Too many tabs is a huge distraction. Its also a common thing to see if you are working tech support for a organization. I’ve seen well over a hundred tabs open on some users browsers.

      If you can bg inactive tabs they just become another type of bookmark, because they don’t the up any memory

        Then use bookmarks. We shouldn’t design around people using products completely incorrectly.

          Tabs are part checklist. If I use bookmarks, they go out of siht, out of mind. As tabs there’s a reminder to resolve the topic.

              No, some items have a dozen tabs associated, and others are recurring tasks.

              I only have maybe 15 topics in my tabs, half are waiting on something else to be resolved, and a sixth are videos to be watched.

                Realistically- how often do you actually go through and take care of these items, and how important was it really if it could sit on the list while hundreds of other things pile up?
