I have 42 tabs open. I use Firefox's tree tabs add-on. After pruning, I now have 22 tabs open.

11. I have ADD so I get upset when I have too many open, it's better for my concentration to close them down except for a select few, including HN.

32 Here. I treat them, with some exceptions, as a stack of stuff I've saved to read later. The exceptions are reference stuff I keep coming back to and HN.

83, across three windows in two browsers (chrome + firefox). I should probably cut them down a bit...
