God I was helping one of my kids with their tablet the other day, the browser had 196 tabs open.. thats not even an exaggeration, 196. It was literally the first time I've ever used the close all tabs function on any browser.
I don't keep too many tabs open on desktop unless I'm researching something. But on mobile it's just too easy to ignore. I've hit 1000 tabs a few times. It opens a new tab every time I click a link in an app. I don't see the tabs unless I really want to. So I forget.
Yeah I'm the same. Never really hit more than 10 tabs on desktop unless researching, and I reset them on restart anyway so they can't accumulate. On my phone I think I'm currently at 89, and that's only because i closed all when it went above 100.
Also notepad++ I probably have 100+ open for the same reason. Opening something new makes a new tab, and they never reset.
We switched my daughter to online school recently and she never closes tabs. I have to keep telling her, "you don't need to keep the tab of story we read for English 3 days ago open. You're never going to read it again. You didn't even like it."
Wow, definitely different school learning protocol here.
Our kids were fussing at me to close my tabs as I go by the time they hit middle school, and when they were younger we had a ‘clear tabs automatically on closing’ set up in their browsers.
