    Currently 8, across two windows. I don't like to get more than 6 open per window so I can actually tell what they are at a glance.
  4. 50 now. Generally from 30-70.

    These weekend threads normally consist of fairly mundane but relatively interesting topics... but a discussion about open tabs... pleaaaaaase!

    So you get 100+ replies with people stating how many tabs they have open... In sorry but this is lame! Are people gonna click through 3-4 pages of what is little more than "hey I have 3 tabs open"!

    Techspot shame on you!
  8. 1 (+ this comment)--home page is google, then open others as necessary, but never more than 4 or 5
  9. 20 tabs pretty normal day
  10. 2 right now and I always close tabs and put Vybe to "sleep" and never leave "on and active with finished.

  11. 41 (13 of them Google search, 3 Ebay, 2 Youtube) - Opera 11.62 - Win 8 / Gateway TA-7
  12. I win.

    I have 5 windows open.. with about 10-20 tabs in each window *nerd*

    I think I need to close a few.. dozen.

    Why would you have 100 tabs if you're not currently using all of them. Just save and close them. There's not much point in having that many if you can't navigate through all of them, and I know I at least wouldn't find my way very fast in that many.

    When I'm working on a project I clean my bookmarks bar and save pages within folders there, so I don't have ridiculous number of tabs open. I have open only the things I'm currently looking at. If I have something for use later, or a different topic entirely I would either use different browser window and often minimize to the taskbar so it doesn't get in the way.
  14. right now I have 3, sometimes it gets up to 9. usually it is 2.
  15. [IMG]

    Right now: 26.
    Minimum: Usually no less than 15.
    Maximum: 60 or so usually split onto two monitors with two windows of Firefox.
    Average: Probably 25.

    This is why I love Firefox so much. You can customize it to fit your needs.
  16. Kind of wanted to show my Firefox to everyone. However the image appears to only display in the forum and not on the main site and comments displayed there.

    For those interested, hopefully this url will display: http://imagecrate.de/u/1336264235_opentabs.png

    I don't really believe most of you. I have 2 now, but windows seems to slow to a crawl just having 2 or 3 windows in use even with 2 gig of memory. How much memory do you have?
  18. DDR3 is cheap. I have 8GB of 1333 RAM in my laptop which I upgraded from the default 4GB. I replaced the 2x2GB with 2x4GB. It cost me $50 with tax and shipping from NCIX. I am building a new gaming computer and plan to overkill the RAM with 16GB, it will cost me $140 for high performance 2133 RAM.

    Here's proof: http://imagecrate.de/u/1336266648_8GBddr3.png
  19. 8, but I plan on closing 6 soonish, as they are things like iPlayer and such and such.
