"I use a different browser for fab on my phone. And currently only have one tab open. "
One. How do you do it? Do you just close tabs or something when you're done with them? Don't have ones to come back to? |

My open screens on my phone kinda resemble the cahos of my life. Many open, trying to remember what I was doing, daydreams and wishes of foreign lands and beautiful clothes, and of course music!
All of which results in my phone not performing in the way it should. Again, resembling life.

Oh gosh I have a ridiculous amount open. It kind of represents all the different shit going through my mind at that moment in time. So currently have a cooking one, Italian history and furniture restoration pages open amongst others. It also acts as a reminder because there is so much going through my head, I won't forget something. Oh and if I'm buying someone a gift for example there will be a tonne more as decision paralysis occurs. My life is chaos, and to think I used to think this was normal  |

I only have my phone... Just 5 at the moment - if I'm 'watching' something I'll have additional tabs open temporarily but i can't cope with tonnes... Maybe its a generational thing  |

"I have three. Fab and Indeed are opened permanently and the third one is for googling random shit
K"
Three. Three. I thought you'd be saying at least twenty three. So you only keep one tab for random shit? What happens if there's multiple random shit you want to look up, all at once? |

Yes and please, currently my shopping list lives on my fridge door. Which I inherently forget everytime I do shopping. And the kids wonder we eat the same few recipes on a regular basis |

Okay, this is more like it.
I get this.
Like how do people remember what they need to go back too if they shut them all down "
I have sooo many screenshots of random stuff that I’ve searched and need to remember for later |

"Thank you Meli, as I’ve been meaning to have this conversation for a while after a discussion at a social I went to.
I have currently have 314 browser tabs  "
Thank you Gatekeeper. Finally someone I truly understand. I sent a screenshot of a booking to a friend only to be shamed for the amount of tabs open. 314? Reasonable. |

"On my phone?
One.
Occasionally two if I'm looking for a link for something to use on the first one.
Any more than that and my brain melts.
My laptop however...........  "
Let's skip the laptop yeah? We don't need to bringing those poor overused and overworked things in to it.
One is very... restrained.
So you're talking to someone and they bring up several things you want to Google. Do you just go through those things one at a time? |

My fab tabs are outrageously high, I just have a link in my notes, so me being me I never close it properly and then when I log back in I use the link. Most I’ve ever got to was about 70 odd, closed 28 down this morning, current number 4.

And beautiful. I like your romantic, chaotic soul, reminds me of mine. Perhaps closing a couple might make things run more smoothly though. Hmmm.  |

History.
Way less messy. 
"
Then you need to remember what you were looking for and when you were looking for it.
Tabs in android are so easy because they're like a mini screenshot. All organised neatly.

475! I’ve been meaning to go through and close things I don’t need, then I see something I forgot about and say “well I keep this to remind me” tee her |

I have 3 open - FAB, news and sport, which the 3 I look at every day.
C has 80 …she’s got dresses that she’s looked at 5 years ago still open.
If we’re talking about her laptop then it’s over 200

No more than a few at any one time really. If there's something I need it gets bookmarked. I've a few folders bookmarked with bits and pieces I largely never re-visit, but they at least have stuff if I ever need it.
'Restore previous session' is a decent feature, especially if there are multiple tabs open and the browser crashes. Not tried it after shutting down though |

I have a poor memory, so I leave tabs open so I can come back to information when I need it. I currently have 15 open… but now that I’ve had a quick look, I’ve forgotten why I wanted them in the first place  |

28 if I include Fab, all solo incognito and that.
Rarely have more than 50, but will close in groups - eg had loads more yesterday but then decided on something, so closed all related tabs. Not sure I could cope with many more. My brain is too small. |

Decision paralysis is such a thing! I currently have eight open on one thing. Giving myself until midday to make a decision and book it and close seven.
I think a chaotic tab system can represent a chaotic mind quite often. |

"12 incognito tabs. 30 regular tabs.
That is quite low for me.
J"
I really, really thought you'd be coming in with the tabs on three figures at least. I'm proud of you for your low tab count. |

You could take a picture of the list, or even of the inside of your fridge. And once done, you can have the satisfaction of deleting it to mark it as done.
I wonder if it allows more information to be condensed into one place than text?

"3 tabs because that's all I need!
One for coffee beans, one for hot, horny local cougars in your area/Fab and one for gym opening times?"

It's so very you, I know. |
