How many browser windows do you have open?

[Poohnix]

I don't know why I always end up the same way - I guess I'm doing too much simultaneously, but I always end up with a LOT of browser windows and tabs open... I just counted what I have right now:

Firefox:

17 windows, a total of 193 tabs!

IE:

1 Window, 15 tabs

Chrome:

1 window, 9 tabs


My main browser (obviously!) is Firefiox, I use the others to be able to be logged in to separate Google accounts simultaneously. I just started using Chrome, I used to use Opera, but Adwords stopped working for Opera, so I had to switch.

About half of the open windows and tabs is my "standard" set - that I always have open. It's things like mail accounts, adwords, adsense, analytics, a lot of admin interfaces for different services I work with, and a lot of server/database pages to quickly access admin of a number of servers and web sites, registrar accounts, domaintools, DNF, etc.
The other half is "current work" - and has a tendency to grow all the time...

Aside from browsers, I have things like Outlook, Dreamveawer, Several instances of Excel, Word, Photoshop, etc open...

I'm working since years back with large dual screens, and are seriously thinking of going to a quad setup - but that seems a liiittle too much, maybe... :uhoh:

I don't know if I'm extreme... - anyone else who experience the same tendency of ending up with so many browser windows/tabs?

:?::sigh2:

You must have pretty powerful computer with lots of memory.
But, surely you can only see few windows at a time.

As for quad monitor...
Go for it. You'll like it.
I've been using 4x24" for few years.

Nothing really extreme... Core2Quad with 4G RAM... Vista 64bit.
Normal memory use is about 80%. But I'm thinking about increasing it to 8G anyway. Just in case.

But no, I can't see all of them at a time, and sometimes end up looking for several minutes before I find the window/tab I need... even though I have them organized in different categories for each browser window.

I have more then that the minute I restart the computer... But maybe that's one reason - I never turn it off. It needs restarting sometimes when there are system updates or such, otherwise it's always on.

As I wrote, I don't have anything really extreme. It's a work computer, I don't play computer games.
