Comment on Why do some people have so many tabs open on their browser?

-
because I’m working on multiple tasks at once, and some of those tasks require comparing things like data sheets or products or reading multiple documents
-
because I don’t want to dig up the thing I was looking at yesterday with a 10-tab group, but I also ran out of time yesterday to complete the task
-
because I can and it’s convenient
-
because I keep something open until I have dealt with it, so it functions as a task list

Those are pretty solid arguments. Also, you’re not alone. There are lots of people who have a stack of tabs open for the exact same reasons. I han’d considered those reasons before, so thanks for making me aware of them.

I purge them as often as I can, but my phone has some tab groups that just stay up perpetually because it’s convenient, and it’s not like they’re actually all loaded at once. for example I have a few tab groups on vehicle maintenance topic or two that I am slowly working on. chrome on android has tab groups that basically functions as a favourites menu
but yeah on a computer, I have about a dozen core tabs for work that stay pinned on one window at all times, and then I add 1-3 other windows throughout the day as I work. one or two might just be a couple tabs each for comparing stuff. one might be a temp window for tasks somebody asked me to look into when I have a couple spare minutes. one might be a bunch of tabs doing research on something. but they either get processed and completed, or written down to deal with another day, I don’t keep them up until the next day unless I’m really just over work that day lol
