When was the last time you closed all of your browser tabs?

I have 174 open right now….

I have about 50 open

2011

You’re my hero

I story to shut down my computer each week.

Any particular reason?

I do fresh starts every few days. I’m also an inbox 0 person.

Wow.

I used to be an inbox 0 person until I realized I can spend 0 minutes managing my inbox by not managing it at all 🤣

I just skim the senders and subjects and mark all as read every few hours. I either open the ones that look important or star them and come back to them later when I have time.

I don’t get ANY important emails 😆

I don’t get much either for personal email. Most of the time I’m clicking mark all as read. 😂

Daily. I'm obsessed with maintaining a clean browsing environment, and that means no errant taps just lurking. The people on the other end of the spectrum are the people who have hundreds of open tabs. That's maddening to me, and I think those people are insane. Lol

I have 50-90 tabs open at any given time and I don’t shut down unless there’s a system update that requires a restart

That would destroy me. I'd probably hurl myself off the nearest bridge if I had that many tabs. I'd have to take a week off to manually review every tab and determine its correct state, and create appropriate bookmarks using my bookmark notation system so that I could quickly call them to up if and when needed. It would be a lot of work.

I call that: Declaring Tab Bankruptcy

Only everytime I have to restart my desktop which is close to never

I close them when I'm done. Tab minimalist.

Good lord … 🤣

You can just close the tab.

Ctrl- w w w w w w ....

I have more than 30 opening 🥹

This is the way

Close them about once a day. I sometimes have more than one window open which is bad too. Lol

Oh yeah I forgot about other windows 😆 have those too.

Every day nearly.

I also clear LLM chats regularly.

Madness

A few years, or whenever my browser crashes 😅

You can close them!?

I am a browser tab hoarder

never. even when i close, i restoe from history. it's aimost like "workspace"

Once I get a new device.

I now run multiple browsers with different colour themes so I can navigate between them for different categories of tabs, each in collapsible groups, and I still can’t see them all

Great reminder thanks.

Every day 😉🤟🏴‍☠️

On my Windows 11 work PC, I used to have to close them all to free up enough RAM to properly run my CAD. Now that I have 64GB I don't have to do that so much anymore, but still... Before the upgrade, between Windows caching every system file in-RAM and chrome being the terrible RAM hog we all know it to be, that otherwise top-of-the-line laptop performed as poorly as my 2017 personal laptop.

You mean intentionally or by accident? 😆

Lol, why would I ever do that?

Every other day

When my browser crashed
