When you have this many tabs, do you actively manage them or even have any idea what they contain. How do you find the information you need amongst 3000+ tabs. Isn't it annoying to have to shuffle through lots of windows with lots of tabs? I start to lose track after a dozen or so.


Because I can.

Hacker News facilitates me opening scores of tabs a day, that and not being able to find the tab I need means duplicating it; although the browser now serves me up with the original one.

I tend to open a new window for a new line of work, so the tabs are over 40 or so windows.

The limit used to be the bowser crashing, or me forgetting to reopen history and so relinquishing the interesting things.

My point is that I’d greatly appreciate keeping this down. I’m currently down to 800 or so, I think the tab history tool crashes Firefox, without it it could go a lot higher.

The OneTab extension has done great things for my tab organization, might be of interest to you as well .


I've started on my own vertical tabs addon that can handle many thousands of tabs. Still work in progress...


once it gets to the thousands it breaks down, but in my experience spatial memory + pattern matching on favicons works surprisingly well to navigate a large number of tabs.
