I'm curious whether people who have tons of tabs open ever turn off their computer? I always turn mine off in the evening or whenever else I think I'm done for the day because I never know when I'll turn it on again, and leaving it running for 14+ hours just doesn't feel right.

I'm a good boy and always close my tabs! ^^
Sometimes I see some coworkers having hundreds of tabs open, and I just don't understand why or how. Any tab hoarders here who can explain?

Bookmarks are heresy.

And then they come to you complaining about how slow their computer is. I cannot magically make the 11 year old workstation that they insist on abusing with 200+ chrome tabs magically go as fast as their neighbor's who is using it as a glorified email machine.

Yep, has happened in the past. But nowadays browsers are pretty good at minimizing the cpu usage of background tabs. Also, most of our developers' workstations are configured with 64 GB ram, which, come to think of it, might be enabling the addiction in the first place...

I feel claustrophobic when I have more than 5 tabs.

This is why you backup your Firefox profile, kids.
