You shouldn't, but it happens. The UI makes it much easier to open a new tab than to close older tabs (unless you close all of them at once). You even inadvertently open new tabs when you click on links and they open on a new tab rather than on the current tab. Unless you consciously choose browse in a way that avoids the proliferation of new tabs, you'll get flooded by them, as that's what the design leads to. Exceptions are browsers that don't save tabs between sessions, or that automatically close tabs after a specific number. |

You tap on the address bar and are presented with a set of icons of your most-visited sites. Hitting any icon will open the site in a new tab. But it's not obvious, and it's easy for your tabs to balloon.
To prevent that you actually have to start typing the site name in the address bar, even if the shortcut icon is right in front of you.
In Chrome if you tap on the address bar you also get a set of icons, but clicking on one opens the link in the same tab, as you'd expect.
