> 883 tabs open

There cannot be a good reason to do this, I start to get anxious at 20-30

High tabs count are from people who don’t care to close tabs after they’re done or use them as a TODO list they never get to.

Browsers should default to closing unused tabs (after 30 days?) and I’m glad that’s possible now. If you haven’t seen a tab in a month chances are you never will.

I'll have you know that I kept a tab open for 3 months, and only then I ordered the item displayed in that tab.

Yes, tabs as a todo list work. With a tab suspender extension.

Hey, what if I finally get to whatever interesting thing that tab had after 30 years of ignoring it?!

But yeah, I just "close other tabs" every few weeks because it's 99% guaranteed I won't need them.
