Also there’s a FF extension called Tab Session Manager that removes the problem of keeping hold of tabs entirely

My phone tells me I have ∞ open.

I’m not sure how to easily count on my computer (firefox), I have vertical tabs on, I have to scroll, and many of the tabs are in collapsed groups…

And before you ask, yes all the tabs are important and necessary.

Only 29.

Well, 30 now that I opened this thread in a new tab.

But yeah. That’s on the low side compared to usual for me.

(Firefox on a Raspberry Pi 4.)

Damn, I’m impressed that your rpi can handle that many tabs. Mine can only handle a few loaded pages at a time

My experience is that it has more to do with what’s loaded in the tab than how many tabs are open. One tab can cause everything to run at like 1fps if it’s bloated. (“Graphic design is my passion” kind of pages with tons of animations, usually.) But 100 Lemmy-UI tabs is no problem at all.

how does it do with videos using your browser?

My experience is that the performance of videos depends a lot on how much of the screen the video takes up. More so than on the quality setting (480p, 720p, 1080p). Usually when I want to watch a video, I limit it to about 1/4 of the area of my 1920x1080 screen. But YouTube is pretty watchable. I don’t think even when you select something like 720p@60fps or whatever that it ever actually gets up to 60fps, and sometimes the parts that don’t compress as well drop a few frames (strobing in particular does that), but it’s really not bad if you’re ok with not doing full-screen.

Also, it depends where the video is hosted. If the JS is really light on the page, it’s way more performant. If the JS is really heavy, I sometimes have to wait tens of seconds for it to render the first frame.

But also, this Raspberry Pi is mostly my Lemmy box. Not my main box.

Exactly, the stack necessary to play videos in your browser is no joke and I’ve always used it as a litmus test.

It’s not fool proof – as you pointed out – it’s probably the closest thing to a litmus test there is

1 tab on my phone

18 tabs on my laptop across 4 virtual desktops

I have a bookmark folder called Zombie Tabs that I periodically tidy the zombie tabs into

I don’t know. Firefox displays an infinity symbol after 99.

And I may have god knows how many inactive tabs. Ha!

7

I set them to close automatically after 24 hours, because I have having more tabs open than I can track. I explicitly don’t use them as “read later” bookmarks.

Laptop 1 (yt subscription page, which is my homepage) and phone 0.

Loading a page means the other pages have issues if they are also trying to load and my internet can’t really do 2 things at once.

My phone just shows the infinity symbol for tab count. Probably like a hundred on my desktop

1 on pc 1 on phone 95% of time. 4 or 5 when buying things and can be 8-9 when searching software related answers.

All of them.

PC = 1 Mobile phone = yes

phone ~50

tablet ~30

pc ~20

work pc ~100

I used to be a no tabs person too, what happened ;-;

four, anything more than a handful makes me anxious

Same, that’s why I open more than 100 on my phone so the number disappears 😬

Look. I don’t come here to be verbally abused.

On laptop, go until browser crashes in a loop.

One time, had to reboot three times so I could close some of the windows before they locked up.

Phone 23 Laptop 30 Desktop 5

Most are on going research or projects I’ve got going.

I have just tidied up a bit… my phone was on ~470ish tabs. (Btw, did you know that the limit in safari on iOS is 500 tabs?)

Now my phone has 50.

phone

400 firefox 150 iceraven 100 ironfox 700 duckduckgo 90 on brave for school and work

computer like maybe 12

Phone - 60 💀

Desktop - 5

Phone: 59 Desktop: 400+ Luckily Firefox doesn’t actually load all of those

Hate to say it but I have probably 500 tabs opened combined

PC 0

Laptop 0

Phone 2

Y’all are psychopaths

I have a tab group on my desktop with tools to maintain my Plex server. I think there are 4 tabs in it. That’s collapsed, but there. Then I’ll have the one tab I’m actually using, often a second tab on another monitor streaming music or video.

0 tabs on phone.

0 tabs on laptop.

Reading through these comments… There’s a lot of psychos in here. Some of y’all have hundreds of tabs open. Why?

Some of y’all have hundreds of tabs open. Why?

Might need them later

cant check laptop and pc but phone (waterfox) says ∞

Phone = 69

Computer = I don’t know

1

49

Phone: 169 in Safari, inf in Firefox

Computers: uhhhhhhh probably several thousand? It would take quite a while to get a number.

Phone: 72 💀 Laptop: ~25

Phone: 5 Laptop: 1972

Phone just says ∞ PC is 0 atm usually like 3-20

phone: 57 laptop: ~3ish

:)

In the browser you ask? 194 + 9 incognito.

And I was thinking I am really bad with my 6 opened… 😅

iPhone: 499 Laptop: 0

Phone: 316 Desktop: 294 Laptop: 79

You could say I’m making use of all the ram I’ve installed

Currently just two, the tab for this page and another for Sekibanki’s theme from Touhou 14.

Phone = 1701

Laptop = 6

Desktop = 0

Phone: 71 (largely grouped, maybe 20 “independent” ones)
Desktop: ~700, spit into 6 windows, and grouped inside those windows, Vivaldi is a life saver if you’re hording

Phone = 1

Work PC = 100+ (most of them pinned and organized into folders)

Personal PC = ~10

Phone = 3 on Fennec (Catodon Home Feed, the Lemmy global feed from a Lemmy instance and the Wiktionary definition for "sturgeon")

Laptop (where I'm currently) = 2 on Waterfox (Catodon writing this reply, and your Lemmy thread as seen from a Lemmy instance)

!asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Probably 150-200 on my PC.

About 4 on my phone.

Yes I have a problem, no I don’t wanna talk about it.

Home PC: 5

Phone: Infinity symbol

Work PC: 43

Shhh… We don’t talk about those

Phone: 179 iPad: 148 Work laptop: 206 Personal laptop: 15

;)

Work computer: 52 across 3 browsers, with 4 total ‘tab groups’

Home computer: 22 with 1 browser and 3 ‘tab groups’

Phone: 0 (unless the new tab page counts that opens when I open my browser)

Zero on my phone, zero on my PC

Average Netscape Navigator 4 enjoyer

Why did tabs replace bookmarks? Do you not value your RAM? No, I don’t care how many gigabytes of RAM you have, it doesn’t invalidate my point. I have lots of RAM too.

i think modern browsers (at least firefox) doesn’t keep background tabs all active in memory. my friend has like 200 tabs but memory usage isn’t that huge.

Actually only 263 at the moment on my phone.
