I don't know if my usual 40 is excessive...

I will usually run with a couple and close very soon after. If you leave them open they slow the phone down, use more power and also data if you go out and haven't closed them

Not sure that’s true. This says it’s fine to keep apps open (better than swiping up to get rid) so web pages should be the same?
When you reopen a page that’s been sitting there for ages it often shows something different, as if it only updates itself when you open it.

  1. Most are for bathroom basins at the moment, others are things I'd like to read but never will. I gave up on clearing e-mails a long time ago. I'm a bit of a hoarder in real life too.

Was that a typo *@heartsonacake*? ShockGrin
Unfortunately not! I frequently hit the max limit and cannot open any more.
Anthilda · 29/08/2020 19:36

Well I dont feel panicky about the 'excessive' browser windows I have open any more @heartsonacake GrinGrin

QuestionableMouse · 29/08/2020 19:39

Anything over ten gives me anxiety 😂😂😂

The thread has inspired me to close my tabs down and I'm down to 7

AnonUser2018 · 30/08/2020 16:55

Thanks everyone! You made me feel so much better for my 40-ish!

My problem is that friends send me links to really interesting articles, and I open them with the intention of reading them... Then get distracted. I will read them one day! Blush

I don't think they slow my phone down or use up data or anything so will continue to keep around that number open (despite now being enlightened to the use of a bookmark...). I can't believe some of you have hundreds open tho! Shock

Slightly inspired by this thread I've cleaned up my mum's phone. Over 100 tabs open .

AuntyMabelandPippin · 30/08/2020 19:08

On my phone,I stopped counting after 200, I didn't realise they didn't clear when I closed Safari...

I've got 38 open on my laptop though. Four of them are Delia recipes. Grin

10, which isn't too bad for me, I like to do lots of things at once. Grin

Me too. I like to think my browser windows accurately reflect my mind...

Exactly! My mind is all over the place, scampering around. Grin
