Text: My browser when I open the 42nd tab and beyond
A 2 panel image of Michael Jordan: Stop it. Get some help.
42 is supposed to be the exaggeration meme???
Bro my mobile browser has so many tabs open it stopped giving me a number and gives me a smiley face instead. It’s like 150.
Ngl mobile browsers are wack with the tabs. They don’t close when you close the app so mine just keep racking up the number.
How do you find which one you want with 150 open? Genuinely curious is all, I’m old and mostly use PC and can type quick enough to find what I want if I know which site (wikis for games and such). If I had to scroll through 150 tabs I’d spend half the time looking through a list so wonder how it helps to have that many open. Or maybe I just don’t read fast enough to scroll well.
The search bar will show open tabs matching the query along side a switch to tab button. I’ve seen it on desktop anyway, I’d think it’s on mobile as well. I’d wager that individuals with that many tabs left open never go back to them though lol
I’ve got them grouped into categories. They’re glorified bookmarks really.
Mine gives me an infinity symbol in Firefox iOS

The old Opera when it used the Pesto engine was even better at it.
I believe literally everyone who used Opera had the habit of having a lot of tabs. They were extremely lightweight.
Sadly they abandoned the engine and now Opera is yet another chrome clone.
I feel called out 😅
I have had whatever number of tabs open on Firefox mobile where it stops giving you a number and you get the ∞ symbol…
I feel like mobile is fair. Things open new tabs automatically a lot more. But I have seen some scary posts asking how to organize tens of thousands of tabs. There’s a neat part to that.
Doesn’t Firefox on mobile can be configured to automatically close tabs after some period? I recall enabling that. That solves this problem!
I actually use the feature that groups them when inactive long enough. If I save a tab on my computer I’m never going back to it but, for some reason, I do eventually get to it on my phone before closing. Usually news articles in reader mode.
I have it set to close after a week, but still reaching a point when ff no longer bothers to count them.
The sense of loss when you can’t get them back for some reason. I swear I’ve had my career set back by losing my tabs. It’s basically my working memory.
Right? I’ve been training myself to use this one weird browser feature I hardly ever use called “bookmarks.” Shits wild
Bookmarks my friend, bookmarks.
65 on my phone. None of them are junk, one is the new tab page so I can search immediately. 🤷
You guys have numbers? I have the infinity sign on every new device within days
Stop it. Get some help.
Fuck off.
Tab suspender and session manager goes brrrr
30 from it is stackoverflow, 10 are github, and 2 e926 pages.
I once closed 9k tabs on the phone. I swear I felt a mild earthquake and power went off in the whole building. Eye of google appeared before me with hissy “I see you”
The thing is, that eye is always there, even when you don’t see it!
Bookmarks exist for this reason, man
There is a rule about having more than 34 tabs. Search Firefox rule 34 and you can see what happens.
It’s important to tell all your coworkers about this, too
I have 57 open right now
I’ve had about 1000+ tabs open before, but I’ve gotten better at keeping them under control. It’s very normal for me to hit a couple hundred, once in a while, though, before I go through them all and weed out the ones I’m done with. Right now I only have 24, but 19 of them are my pinned tabs that are used all the time.
Only 42?
Yeah, I usually hover around 300-400 open tabs. I clean them up once in a while but it just builds up again.
I had to install a plugin to just close tabs I hadn’t viewed in a while. I’m certainly not going to develop better tab discipline
I use Safari which has this feature built in.

Guess I need rehab.
