I would have suggested, and still do suggest if another poll will happen, the question,
to see if that correlates with e.g. procrastination. Large any-given-moment tab count, I hypothesize, correlates negatively with focus, and maybe slightly negatively with conscientiousness.
I have ten tabs open right now.
<making excuses>This is probably because of my habit to opening almost all links in a new tab (because it's easier to get back to where I came from) and can't be bothered to close a tab unless I really have too many tabs open.</making excuses>
I have ten tabs open right now... in my second browser window. And another 42 in the first one...
112 in 5 windows.
I regularly let tabs proliferate until I have a dozen windows open and hundreds of tabs between them and the browser gets so slow that I have to restart it or it just crashes. When this happens, I usually don't feel like waiting for hundreds of tabs to reload, so I move the saved browser session aside, telling myself I'm just making a "temporary" new session, and then the same thing happens and I never revisit any of my past sessions. I have browser session files dating back to… 2007? That can't be right, this has been going on for way longer than that… maybe I have the older ones on a backup somewhere.
Anyway, I think I have a problem.

16 in one window.
Jawdrop. 42? Wow.
As for myself, I have 8.
14 in two different windows.
