    I ask after this article hit a little close to home.

    I was never as bad as the article described in sheer numbers, but I have the same ADD-like habit of clicking on things that seem important and I fully intend to get to later, but never do. Right now I have a dozen tabs open on my phone, and that's about my limit before I go on a mad closing out spree. But I always seem to have 4-6 minimum going at a time.

    Four are articles I fully intended to read at the time I opened them. I probably never will. I have years worth of emails of such articles.

    On my phone there are 35 tabs open, I believe. Not sure that counts the same cause you don't really see all the other open tabs when you are on a browser page. So they just build u when I click on links until eventually I notice how many are open. Wonder if there is a limit.

    I work with someone who I suspect doesn't know that you don't need to open a new window to go to a new webpage. She always has dozens of tabs open on the computer.

    One now often two but never more than three. My boss will easily have more than 10. My favorite thing is to threaten to close them and watch him freak out.

    Two. Will occasionally have three or four on my laptop, if there are several articles I want to read. On my phone I never have more than the one I'm using open.

    I'm also a guy that never lets his phone battery get below 80% or his gas tank get below halfway.

    Desktop -- 15 on two browsers. All either work-related or sites I visit every hour.
    Phone? None, as far as I know.

    On this browser?

    That should surprise no one, I'd expect.

    Four.

    While I'm at work, the two tabs that never go away are Gmail and SJ.com. So I rarely dip below 3.
