I just saw a coworker with something like 30 tabs open in Chrome. I also know someone who regularly hits the 500-tab limit on their phone, though I suspect that’s more about being messy than anything else.

When I’m researching something, I might have 10-50 tabs open for a while, but once I’m done, I close them all. If I need them again, browser history is there.

Why do people keep so many tabs open? Is there a workflow or habit I’m missing? Do they just never clean up, or is there a real benefit to tab hoarding? I’m genuinely curious. Why do people do that?

    Firefox plugin that’ll allow me to type parts of the tabs domain or title and it’ll filter the results.

    Is that different from searching all open tabs by typing % [keyword] into the address bar?

      Holy Snap -

      That is exactly what I’ve been looking… and it would explain why I couldn’t find a plugin.

      Thank you for sharing this!
