'There was also a case where a user with over 1500 tabs open (scientifically considered a “tab hoarder”)' - by what metric?
2 comments

By number of tabs open, it sounds like.
To be a hoarder, one would need to accumulate the hoard over a period of time, which "the number of tabs open" is not a measure of. Also, as stated in the article, an issue with a large number of tabs was found, yet it was not declared that the tester(s) were also hoarders by the metric of the "number of tabs open".
That's the joke.
