Poll: How many tabs do you have open now?

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.

    It'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.

    On 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.

    Around 50,

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