What's a weird browser habit you have? (burggit.moe)

I, personally, can't handle having more than like 6 tabs open at a time (not including pinned tabs, which I can have 1 or 2 of at a time on top of that). It gets to where I actively close tabs to try to get my tab number closer to like 2 - 4, which is usually where i'm comfortable with.

2k tabs on work computer, another 3k on my personal notebook. I quite literally have tabs from 2 years ago and refuse to close them. And at least 10 pinned tabs in each

As somebody with about 4000 open tabs, you and I have the opposite problem.

I dunno if it's weird or not, but I like having a menu bar and a separate search box. Fortunately, Firefox still accommodates me.

I tab hoard too much, I no longer count my tabs, instead I count windows. Keeping it under 100 windows is a struggle. Each window is ~10-20+ tabs.

It's mostly YT, Rddit, and Pixiv. I keep open stuff I want to watch/read later but instead I forget. Only time I remember is when I go to close it causing me to just keep it longer.

I often use middle-mouse-click to open new tabs, I have macros setup on my mouse for ctrl+tab, ctrl+shift+tab, ctrl+f4; aka Next tab, Prev Tab, Close Tab. This just makes browsing simpler and one-handed easier.

One handed easier you say? 🤨 😏
