Right now, two. But normally, I'd guess around 15-20.

I just closed a whole lot down a couple of days ago. I *only* have 76 open. I need to close some more.
The ones I keep open are: ~ recipes that I make fairly regularly ~ things that I see online that I want to remember to buy / do / show ~ Two Peas ~ iPhone photo course ~ public transport timetable ~ MCG parking ~ link to my favourite MCM Atomic house ~ several links to tour we did on our Thailand trip, to help with the journaling ~ Referendum information ~ NY Times games
And then tons of stuff I opened for a specific reason then forgot to shut.
I only have 7 tabs open on my MacBook. That's pretty good for me.
ETA: I just got mine down from 76 to 32.

My kids always tell me I have too many as well. I never close them out. ETA it looks like I have 500 open lol. Is there a way to close them all at the same time?

One and at most 2. Even when on the computer.
I like to concentrate on a single task and not have a bazillion windos open.
Only time I need two is to copy and paste or to cross check something.

I don't access the internet via a phone, but I tend to have 4-6 browser tabs open on my big old desktop computer. ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/5645536/images/Q_m8lDOvc_3Le3r1GKdf.jpg)

I just checked, there are 57. I forget that when I close the browser app the tab stays open and the next time I use it it creates another one. I kind of hate smart phones so I'm just not that into learning more about them. ![](http://i1168.photobucket.com/albums/r481/2peasrefugees/Smilies/laugh.jpg.gif)

None. I have bookmarks and I open things when I need them. I had no idea people keep all those active windows.

Question: Does all of the open tabs bog down the performance of your phone? Non-tech savvy phone user here.

1 or 2. One of my kids told me my battery won't drain so fast if I don't leave them open... Same. Sometimes I have 5 or 6 but never more than 10!!

1! Multiple times per day I clear them. Cannot stand to have so many open and at the end of the night I clear all the apps too.

I'm sure I have a ridiculous number open. It's so boring closing them out, I lose interest and then never make any progress.

I have less open on my phone because I use it less for browsing (but I did recently close out a BUNCH of them) but I always have a crapton open on my iPad which my kid and DH constantly give me crap about. Ha ha, right now I have 95 tabs open on my iPad. A lot of them are recipes, craft or sewing tutorials that look interesting and that I might want to try, stuff I saw online that I might want to buy, perennial plants I want to look for (seasonal), tons of links to free digital stuff like fonts I might want to download or clipart sets I might be able to use, things like that. I get irrationally irritated when by some twist of fate I accidentally do that thing where all of my tabs get closed or lost at once. I sort of hyperventilate for a few minutes, try to recover as many as I can with the + history thing in the corner of the screen (but some have been open so long it doesn’t go back that far), and then I have a silent little prayer for all those that I have lost and won’t ever be able to remember what they were so I can go back to them later. 🙏 ETA: I just checked my phone and I have 67 open tabs on it. 😬

On iPhone you can have a max of 500. Ask me how I know!

Well, clearly I am an underachiever 😊😊. I would think that the more tabs / internet pages you have open, the more drain on your phone's performance. I guess that's not true since there are so many peas that have 100 plus pages open. The answers here are definitely not what I expected 😊

I had 52 when I first read this thread. Then I googled how to close them all at once and now have 0! Someone had told me you had to delete them individually and I believed them, silly me!
How to close all tabs on iPhones Open the Safari app on your iPhone. Tap and hold the tabs icon, which looks like two overlapping boxes and appears in the bottom-right corner of your screen. In the pop-up menu, tap “Close All Tabs.”

4 and that felt a little excessive to me. I hate open tabs! Just like I hate unread emails in my inbox.

then I have a silent little prayer for all those that I have lost and won’t ever be able to remember what they were so I can go back to them later. Haaahhahaha that happened to me a couple of weeks ago! The "Reopen last closed" didn't work, so I started going through my history trying to find them all. Then I realised that some of them have been open for so long, it would take me years to search through the history. I tried to console myself by saying that if I hadn't yet cooked that dish / watched that show / downloaded that font / bought that gadget, then I was never going to. (It didn't work, and now I have FOMO!)

On my phone? Probably none I almost never use my browser unless DH sends me something via text. On my iPad? Which tab group? crazy4scraps and AussieMeg I have felt your pain, multiple times. I have a lot of issues concentrating so I’ll open something and then not finish what I was doing so my open tabs serve as a reminder. And when I’m hypomanic? Let’s just say I’ve tested the 500 theory.

I used to have a LOT. I used it as my bookmark, if I wanted to go back to something but I just cleaned it out and have 4 now. I know when my Dad was alive, when I'd sit down with him he'd have HUNDREDS of browser windows open and I'd spend time closing them all and showing him how to close them all.

I have 88 browser tabs open right now. But 0 unread emails, texts, phone calls. Drives me nuts when people have thousands of unread emails.

How many tabs do you keep open on a regular basis on your phone (or maybe nobody does and I'm the crazy person .
My kids always tell me I have too many tabs open. I've had 14 tabs open for at least the past 6 months (was around 10 before that).
1 Google home page Two Peas Refugees 4 different game sites 2 ESPN pages 1 craft site 1 TV forum site Work email via Outlook Obituary Pages for my sister-in-law and nephew who passed recently Law & Order Wikipedia
How many is too many?
I'm so sorry for your loss! I used to have too many tabs open. Like an embarrassing amount. I now try to close them all at night before I charge my phone.

Right now I have 9 - - 4 recipes
- 1 closed bar list I refer to once in a while
- 1 article about billy joel's return to MSG after covid that I want to reference when I scrapbook that event
- 1 a shoe cleaning kit I want to show my husband
- 1 a skin care product I'm considering
- 1 a sauce brand I might want to try
I sometimes have as many as 15 but I close down the extras when I notice it's like that.
