Well it's part laziness (and priortising) and part working on an abstraction layer for the DOM API which can be quite hairy (it is known :P). So I have 10 windows open in total.

I have lots and lots of pages open of DOM documentation from many sources and many GitHub code searches to see how others' code deals with the mess. ~30% tabs are probably StackOverflow. The rest is (potentially useful) Google searches, programming blog posts and the usual pinned tabs (Gmail etc.).

I use a AutoHotKey script to make the scroll wheel switch between tabs (this is the default behavior on Ubuntu but I'm on Window), this way I can quickly scroll/look for the desired tab through an entire 100-150 tab window in 10-15 seconds. Thinking of this.. I would have probably indeed gone insane without the AHK script.. (or just kept fewer tabs opened instinctively? :P).

Please share your autohotkey script!
