    I just closed 47. All of them Amazon…

    My best friend is having a babby…

    Xmas…

    Starting a small business and tools are needed…

    I just moved to south Florida, and the bugs are the size of house cats, so I require a salt shotgun…

    SO. MANY. HOLIDAY. DEALS.

    Like I’ve never been a shopping addict, but I had a budget of about $1000 for all of that, and I blew through it QUICK.

    I could see how it could be addictive, but I do know when to walk away.

      the bugs are the size of house cats

      Lmao, I feel that in my soul

      When I first moved to south Louisiana, I encountered a giant (black and orange) grasshopper. My first thoughts were along the lines of, “Wtf kind of grasshopper is that!? Did I move to fucking Jurassic Park or something!? Fuck!”

      It was very jarring to see insects so big (milipedes that excrete some kinda fluid when touched, ground spiders, thunker af orb weavers, wood roaches flying)… now that I actually type it out, it still seems like Jurassic Park almost 20 years later lol; but I’m not much bothered anymore by most of them.

      But the electrified tennis racquet for killing mosquitos… that shit is priceless. Wish I could find the $5 walmart ones still, because I would dual wield them and have extra for guests. I’ve gone from mosquito prey to predator, and it’s a joy

    5k tabs
    SPd1wPOCpxgWVCF
    At 1k tabs firefox was snappy and responsive, but at 5k tabs it was bad, very unstable, buggy and sluggish.
    Firefox would crash often even doing simple tasks, some times it took 2 or 3 tries to open firefox. scrolling through all the tabs a couple of minutes.
    But all good things must come to an end. Now I close any extra tabs, have 5 - 30 tabs open.

      Legitimate question - just how do you accumulate 5K tabs? Did you just never close any tabs, like ever?

        Something like that. At first I opened tabs for ”This sounds interesting I will read / watch it later” or ”I’ll probably need it later” This got me to ~300 - 800 tabs but then it became a joke, I just left tabs open knowing full well where not needed. Some times keeping all tabs open payed off like, using the search feature to find back to a project I left off. This happened very rarely.

    Fun fact: if you open more than 100 tabs in chrome (at least on android), it no longer shows the number of open tabs, it just says “:D”.

    If it’s incognito tabs, it says “;)”.

    I haven’t seen a number in years. This means I’d have to count manually which I’m not going to do. Hope this answers your question sufficiently.

      I didn’t know about that feature. Kinda snarky of the devs if you ask me. Good luck with your tabs!

    4 windows with 36 tabs on my desktop, 29 tabs on my phone browser. In my defense I’m shopping for a pillow and need to compare and find something that will work. It’s not going well because it is nearly impossible to find anything that isn’t cheap Chinese shit nowadays. Even the expensive “top brand” products not ordered from Amazon end up being low quality crap.

    Typically 1~10. Four right now (all four are Lemmy: inbox, another thread, front page, this thread)

    I close them as the tabs bar feels cluttered and/or I see no reason to keep them open.

    Usually not more then 30 before I close most of them with “Close all tabs to the right”.

    I have browsing history so don’t need tabs.

      I do when researching buying a product, having different tabs open comparing different models, with each their different stores and a bunch of reviews. You can easily get more than 20.

      Same with researching a science topic.

      But after being done, those tabs get closed. I rather start with a fresh browser each time.

      Tabs I want to get back to later but never do is why I’m in the 1000+ camp

    After closing a dozen left over from looking up various topics over the last few days, 164 tabs, some of which are probably 5 years old. I swear I’ll look at them someday!
