I just saw a coworker with something like 30 tabs open in Chrome. I also know someone who regularly hits the 500-tab limit on their phone, though I suspect that’s more about being messy than anything else.
When I’m researching something, I might have 10-50 tabs open for a while, but once I’m done, I close them all. If I need them again, browser history is there.
Why do people keep so many tabs open? Is there a workflow or habit I’m missing? Do they just never clean up, or is there a real benefit to tab hoarding? I’m genuinely curious. Why do people do that?
Eh just curious about the session info (what all that entails I’m not 100% on). I just know in Firefox tabs retain session info which keeps you logged in typically for sites where that’s a thing
Oh that sort of login session stuff. Nah, I don’t think it saves any of that. As far as I can tell, it’s just a link. Nothing more. If you’re logged in somewhere, the cookies should allow you to continue where you left off, but they will expire at some point.
