the thing is...well i read a lot on the net, most about research on topics i like (social media,current games i play/future ones, art, music etc) so i have like 20+ tabs open...so yea i like reading ^_^ but...and there is a but...

just cleaned my browser cache (you know temporary files, history etc) as it gotten slowish (kindev obvious why :-D) and after i clicked delete i remembered i forgot to backup the browser session history :-P

so i lost all my 20+ open in-read tabs...now i have just 5 and its so fast..but so...empty...i dont like empty :-/

well then in few days it will be full again :-P

so enough about that...what about you? how many tabs do you keep regularly open? and how do you deal with backup your continued research your doing from time to time on the net?

sorry no GA (until i will get a job or so...)

i never - never close tabs (until my pc explodes :-P)
gamers dont read! who really reads these days? better stay ignorant fool :-P
really? im only here for...naa im not here at all (potato/tomato/banana etc)

I have over 100 tabs open in Firefox, which I plan to read eventually, but I keep opening new tabs and checking other sites and I can't find the time to sit down and read them all. Every 2 days I need to close Firefox or it will crash once it goes over 2 gigs of memory usage. Fortunately I have installed an add-on called Session Manager which saves all open tabs and restores them after each crash. Firefox has failed to restore the open tabs several times, so that add-on has really saved me.
I also use Chrome for browser games and gaming sites, including Steam and Steamgifts.

I've always kept multiple tabs in Firefox as to browse them later.
And... It doesn't work too well, after couple of weeks I end up having 100+ (sometimes 200+) opened tabs in my Firefox and when I decide to finally go through them, I close about 1/2 of them, because I simply lost interest about the subject or don't want to read/watch it. The rest of tabs is kept opened until the next month's clearing comes up. It's an endless cycle.

I know, I'm terrible. I'm currently at about 280 tabs. :D

I should also mention that there is "to read later" folder in my bookmarks... It has 455 bookmarks of things I'm particularly interested in, but got no time for it.

it is. lets you "suspend" a tab, so it doesn't take up ram/processing power 1 click and it reloads normally, keeps the tabs history too.

That sounds stable.Although on the past I tended to barely use the mobile, in the last 3 months 8 tabs was the average "by default" open tabs all time. Meaning that at least 6-7tabs pending to be read at night, and "in use" for example on metro the number multiplied by 2 or 3. I'm sure that's not sane.

I should think to start using an app to transfer links. But the phone is so limited in space, that can't add anything :(
