Usually pcpartpicker.com because I have an addiction to putting together pc builds that I will never be able to afford

Nothing.
I keep that shit clean.
Quite the opposite for me.
I usually have no fewer than 20-50 tabs open at any given moment. Mainly duplicates of the same webpage because I forgot that I already opened the tab, random sites I want to come back to in a few days but don't want to bookmark because I already have too many bookmarks, random porn tabs from a month ago because I forgot about them... Stuff like that.
(That's ADHD for you.)
Same. Maybe SomaFM if I'm streaming music and another tab for a search engine if I'm searching something at the same time. Otherwise I just jump in, jump out, one tab.
This is like last.fm kinda!
I need to try this!
I keep folders of bookmarks and then right click > open all in tabs depending on what i'm doing.
i like to start with by opening a bunch of tabs depending on my task, then close them as i progress. if i need to stop with many tabs still open, like with topics being researched for projects, i'll save all tabs to a temp folder to resume later. about once a month i clean the temp folder and sort things i want to save in various categorical folders.
the categories are divided in a hierarchal manner of my own design, which is arbitrary and fluctuates constantly. my last count showed i was just a few shy of 2,000 bookmarks. it's current state is like this:
myshit
-my emails
-my websites (created by me)
-mine (sites with content about me but not made by me, like interviews)
-my cloud storage
-friends sites
-job search
-gov shit
-banking
-adult
-hookers (dating sites and local shopping like craigslist)
tools
-testing
-networking
-conversions
-freeshit
-search engines
-info (things like cheat sheets, connector and componant ID's, thesaurus, etc)
maps (i like maps)
-weather
-geology
-contamination
-space
-water
-animals
-electronic
-human stuff
-other
all this shit
-ai
-art
-audio
-auto (need to remove as my car died and i can't afford a new one)
-business
-compsci
-d&d
-electronics
-emoji/symbols
-gaming
-graphing
-hardware
-homebuying
-language
-linuxcetera (has several nested categories)
-nature
-neat people
-neat websites
-programming
-psychology
-radio (amateur)
-virtualization
temp
-todo
-sort me
-dated folders of project related tabs
Only the one that Iโm actively using, except on rare occasion where I want to go back and forth as reference material.
I keep two windows side by side: the left one has my email, youtube and sometimes a comic I'm reading or audiobook; the right one has a browser virtual pet game I check every few hours and is where I open new tabs to check lemmy, imgur, etc. Pretty clean! But then the moment I work on either art or coding I open a third window that usually gets to 10+ tabs oops
Gmail, Google Voice, Google Calendar, and WhatsApp Web are always pinned. Everything else is contextual!
Right now it's youtube, reddit and lemmy.
Mail, torrentleech, Element, WhatsApp, and whatever I worked on last time I had it open.
EDIT: Upon checking, it was all of the above. The "whatever I was working on" was the user manual of my car.
I have my webmail and homeassistant pinned, otherwise it's whatever I'm actively looking at.
None. I open what I need and then close it after I've used it. I feel like I'm the weird one because so many people seem to live with countless tabs open all the time. I think people who keep tabs open have no sympathy for power, cpu, and ram usage. Nutters.
Wikipedia articles and science news articles. I keep rotating through them to clean up my browser, but each article has more links I wanna read. I need to take a day and just read them all already! lol
