I always end up having anywhere between 10 - 25 tabs open at any time. I'm not sure if it's that I need to use Instapaper or get into bookmarking more but i'm interested in if anyone else is in a similar situation.
Poll: How many tabs do you have open now?

#2It's a mix of hating Delicious and Bookmarking not fitting with how I get things done. I feel like if I want to read something later I have to leave it open or I never will. When I bookmark or instapaper anything I never get back to reading it.

It's not only a problem for reading, a lot of my tabs are not articles. Some are but some are useful projects, startups or things I may need which I want to look at later, but have no way to save at the moment.

I just found some decent Delicious Desktop apps, seems like this will help as it's much more integrated with my workflow (should be) but still not perfect.

The worst part is when Firefox gets to 500mb+ and I want to restart it to free up some memory. I used to save all the open URLs in a notepad file then reopen them, but lately I've just been killing the process then letting FF recover them itself... this is probably bad practice.

Yes, i've got a Macbook Pro. Which i'd say is pretty fast. Having all these URLs makes chrome slow down until when typing I have to wait for it to catch up.

#8Around 50,
But the count can easily go up to 100+ with the help of firefox extensions like Tree Style Tabs and multiple browser windows.

#9On my desktop, 289, spread around 15 windows (Chrome takes up about 3GB of RAM)
On my laptop, 120, spread around 3 windows (Chrome takes up about 1.5GB of RAM, (Mac OS X)performance gets really bad after 10 hours of running, and I usually restart Chrome a couple of times during the day because of this)
I use instapaper to "save and remove" articles from my tabs, so none of these are articles.
It's a real problem. I have regular "cleaning" sessions where I check every tab and determine its faith. But, much like trying to get inbox zero, this almost never completely works and soon it's ballooning again.

I feel the same, this morning I had like 60 within a few windows and already made my Macbook Pro become very slow. Especially because a few have flash video loaded or flash and HTML5 elements.
