How many tabs do you have open

I generally think this reflects the state of my brain

Right now I have 442 tabs open on my iPhone 🤯

69 on my phone, probably 120 on my laptop. I installed an extension on my laptop which turns amber then red as the number increase and it has taught me to try to close more!

I was only told recently about apps open and it was an eye opener!! I have 27 tabs open!

icebearforpresident · 10/11/2024 17:48

97 but I closed everything a couple of weeks ago 😝

NeverDropYourMooncup · 10/11/2024 17:53

99 on the phone inbuilt browser (maximum possible), only 67 on Chrome, 120 on Ecosia.

Only 5 each on the laptop (Edge & Chrome) because it falls over otherwise.

Couldn't begin to guess at work - and then there are multiple outlook, multiple spreadsheets, at least two databases and the occasional (ie, only 3-9) documents. Oh, and pdfs. I've usually got 2-3 on the go at any given time. And explorer.

(and there are two network computers plus the option to have a laptop going. And I'm also usually using my phone as well - everything needs multiple things open because NOTHING ever integrates, no matter how well the salesperson convinces management that it will solve ALL of the problems).

Matches what goes on in my head, to be honest.

283 on my phone at the moment - oops! More than usual but we're renovating so I have heaps of decorating options for all sorts of things up (plus plenty that have been open for months/years and which I've still not closed!)

BeachHutsAndDeckchairs · 10/11/2024 18:27

Eh? I have 9 little windows open when I do as the screenshot. I have 5 tabs open on my browser. My laptop is switched off.

I thought my 25 was excessive!

Whatevershallidowithmylife · 10/11/2024 18:38

3! I’m a bit of a CF

ginislife · 10/11/2024 18:40

0 on my phone (apart from MN). I closed everything before I came in here. 28 in Safari. No idea why as most of them have been open for years.

YouLookinSusBro · 10/11/2024 18:42

100+ on my phone, can't see exact amount over 100. No pc or tablet so everything in phone. My DP tells me off for it

MoralOrLegal · 10/11/2024 19:01

Right now? One.

I also delete all messages after I’ve read them. Same with emails.

33 on my phone. Twelvety-squillion on my work laptop.

villanova · 10/11/2024 19:46

None on my phone or work laptop - shut everything down nightly.
On my home laptop I have one window with about 30 tabs, the other with 157. Lots of links I must get round to reading, some mumsnet threads I want to see if there are updates on, etc. I hate it if Chrome loses my tabs!

NeighbourHitMyCar · 10/11/2024 19:51

For those not aware, you can set your browser on iPhone to close tabs after a certain number of days automatically

I went from having over 100 open at a time to no more than 5 or 6 and noticed a massive difference in my iPhone performance

Anxietysux · 10/11/2024 19:53

NeighbourHitMyCar · 10/11/2024 19:53

Settings and 'safari'

a bit like my brain actually!

So I always need to close one when I want to open a new one. So periodically I try to close a few down, but actually enjoy threads I've forgotten about & seeing if there are any updates.

plus they remind me of chats with friends or renovating ideas I was thinking if or whatever, it's a bit like a live journal.

not sure where it says on my iPad mini, but that does get culled more often.

2 that I've just looked at. I like to keep things tidy on my phone!

newroundhere · 10/11/2024 20:17

I have found my people!! I thought I was the only one with loads of tabs always open at the same time!

thingsineverthoughtidsay · 10/11/2024 20:20

37, because I changed my settings to shut down tabs after 3 days out of use. Prior to that I used to have hundreds! Occasionally I have to reopen a page, but mostly I just have shit open that I never look at again.

hexsnidgett · 10/11/2024 20:22

3 on my tablet.
Maybe 2 on my phone, none on my laptop or work laptop.
When I am at work I might have about 10 open and get so confused! I can't imagine coping with hundreds.
Have you guys not heard of bookmarks?
