How many tabs open on your phone?

[AncientRainbowABC]

I am wondering whether I might be some kind of digital hoarder.

Just looked and I have 156 tabs open on my phone - everything from toddler play ideas to interrupted podcasts to lengthy opinion pieces. Do most people have this? And do you ever actually go back and do it?

YABU - just clear the whole lot out, it’s digital junk.

YANBU - yes to multiple tabs, it is the modern way to dip in and out (until you change phones!).

Just counted mine, 64.
About once a month I do go through them, most end up being irrelevant, like old news stories, or old MN threads that I either no longer have an interest in, or have been deleted. I do finish reading some news stories or gossip pieces, take screenshots of decor ideas I found etc. But I quickly open up loads of new ones so it doesn’t ever get back to just one.

51 but I had 96 and it was annoying me so closed a lot a few days ago.
This is new for me as usually it's around 3!

I feel stressed when I’ve got more than about 8 open! I go through and close them all! I’m the same on my laptop as well.

I have two...
The worldometer covid info website and a bbc good food recipe for scones. 🤷🏼‍♀️

I have a headache just thinking about that!

I have... one open.

I hate having any open that I’m not going to be using pretty soon. I used to have two open all the time when I had FB and would flick between MN and FB but I left FB so just MN now.

I only have one to two at tv any time. I close them pretty much automatically, I hate having too many TVs o apps open.

I always bookmark anything I want to come back to and delete the bookmark when done.

3, I don't like many more than that, 5 tops

I’ve got 127. When I’ve got a spare few minutes I
do try to go through and save the links I want to notes and close the rest. Thinking about it, it must be a huge battery drain! I know what I’m doing this evening...

I pretty much always have over a hundred open on my phone

I have 94!! Time to close the majority down! Most of them are old mumsnet threads 😂

I thought I was bad having 75 open.

I have the one I’m reading open. Bookmarks are you friend here!

Two tabs.

4 apps open in memory on iPhone. I swipe them out a couple of times a day as I think they affect the battery life and slow performance if they are active in the background (could be wrong).

In my internet on my phone I currently have 10 tabs open. I will close some of these by the end of the day. Standard is about 4 or 5. Apps I can often have 10 or more open, but will close them all at the end of the day.

243 Oops, that is bad, even for me

2 surely that many will drain the battery

Oh god I'm terrible for this ,68. Same with laptop too, makes DH laugh that I always have a ridiculous amount of windows open! Anyone else guilty of never deleting emails and have a mad amount?

Just 19 for me - mainly things I'd like to buy at some point.

Do you mean just in safari? Yeah I have loads.

Actual apps open I delete a lot as they drain your battery

iPad -114
iPhone-7 but only because I cleared it recently

Neither. I don't use my mobile to access the internet. I use a laptop or PC. It amazes me that it wasn't that long ago that the bigger the monitor, the better. 22inch flatscreen gaming monitors even. With theatre / surround sound. Now people are accessing the internet on teeny tiny screens? Seems ridiculous to me. I prefer to access the net on a screen that I can actually see. On the 2 occasions I have used my mobile to access the internet and Mumsnet, it looked - weird. Compressed. The layout was completely and totally different, and nothing was really where it should be. I HATED it! Plus, it took me 3 times longer to load a page than on the laptop or PC. I really don't understand why people use a mobile to access the net, I just don't understand the point. I have a smartphone of course but I use it mainly as an alarm clock or for sms. It's surprising how technology screen-wise has gone backward. But, on my laptop right now? I have 7 tabs open on Google Chrome.

Interesting that it’s more or less an even split on the votes at the moment.

Even I didn’t know you could have over 200 open! 😬

I did use bookmarks once upon a time, but I never went back to them and started leaving things open to force myself to finish them. Not that it’s worked...

I’m going to tackle some of these tonight. Last time I did that I ended up with even more open! 🙄

I have 4 apps open in my iPhone.

72 tabs open on safari on my iPhone

I have 2 browsers open on my PC (Firefox and chrome) 26 open tabs on Firefox and 4 on chrome ( 2 x google accounts for 2 home learners)

I have 4 apps open on my PC

I'm not going to look at my iPad. It's a mess!

I need to be more organised with my info.

I have chrome and Firefox set to always open last browsing session so I don't lose my tabs and data!

Over 150 but then I've got ADD so that's pretty normal 😂😂

One on the iPhone, 4 on the iPad. I hate junk.
