my friends were shocked the first time I hit the 500 tab limit on Safari on my phone (FWIW, yes, google chrome is a computer only browser!) but for me it's a regular occurrence. the most random series recently on there is "Inside Out 2", a word game, round trip flights to Germany (no intention of going there) and a website for a dermatologist who isn't mine.

“round trip flights to Germany (no intention of going there)”

This is too real.

Also, thank you for reminding me to check to see whether my dermatologist I’ve ghosted on for the last year takes my new insurance 🙃

Google Chrome has an app lol. It’s not a computer-only browser.

I'm like Rob when it comes with the tabs, but it's usually chrome incognito given that I read a lot of paywalled content.

Tab highlights include several different Mars Black prints I want, a recipe for a homemade Crunchwrap supreme, an image search for Ben Affleck’s back tattoo, an eBay search for the Rosie O’Donnell Barbie from the 90s, and about 50 wordle and connections tabs I never closed.

Also omg those hats are so damn cute. 🥺

Generally start deleting at around 10ish tabs but my favorite one currently is “What is a bungalow” google search which was long overdue because California fiction (esp in the 60’s and 70’s) talk about bungalows all the time and as a Californian i was never sure what that was exactly. Also now that I do, bungalows don’t look like what the word sounds like and I’m a bit disappointed tbh lol

Same! I usually delete my tabs weekly. Even on my computer I never have more than 10 tabs open. It’s too overwhelming for me

27 tabs of fanfic currently, but I visit the wiki page for Natalie Woods so often it might as well be pinned to my homepage

Video of the scene from star wars where obi wan is told by a librarian "if it's not in the archives it doesn't exist"

Multiple tabs for information on donating books to organizations that send them to imprisoned people

The daily mail article "EXCLUSIVE: Reclusive actor Gene Hackman, 93, continues to enjoy his New Mexico retirement as star picks up lunch at fast food drive-thru"

Rsvp to my cousins wedding (not going)

I always keep it around 50 and agree chrome is for the computer

I own ONE pair of Oddobody's bikini underwear and it is very low-cut. The tag dangles from a braided thread from the back, which is the oddo-est part of them. It's the same braided string as those organic expensive tea bags, so I always feel like the underwear could be a giant tea bag. So that's fun.

I have a tab of all the fashion from AHS coven still open 😭

I’m on 489 and that’s only because i recently had to close a few tabs because I reached the limit.

It’s mostly online stores I either can’t afford yet or I’m not ready to purchase from, restaurants I want to visit, places I’ve visited and want to review, job posts and ChatGPT stuff.

I find it a little bit strange and terrifying how much i hoard online lol. I also have a whole bunch of images on my iCloud and google photos. I’m going to find a better way to arrange/organise all this stuff since the thought of simply letting go is incomprehensible to me 💀

I’m so glad we use Safari Mobile in the exact same way. mine are mostly lots and lots of recipes, restaurant menus, vintage clothing websites, broadway bootlegs, joanna newsom lyrics, poems.com, and various puzzle games!

I have safari AND chrome on my phone so I can have two huge collection of tabs. They each have a slightly different ethos that’s hard to pin down
