There is a limit to the number of open tabs my Air2 can have

I would imagine there's a limit to the number of tabs. Did u think you could just keep opening tabs and nothing would happen?

 

I think the max is around 9.

 

Just curious, why do you need to have 20 tabs open?

 

On iOS 6, sure. Limit is much higher starting with iOS 7. Of course, the tab refresh issue is also more prevalent particularly on devices with 1GB RAM or less. Tab limit is definitely higher than 20, though. As for why so many tabs open, comparison shopping, referencing forum posts, research, etc.

 

Have you tried using the reading list rather than just leaving the tab open for later use? Not sure if it fits your use case.

 

Yeah, similar to pocket but integrated into Safari

 

Don't ask... According to the "tab gang" you can never have enough opened.

The answer is that they are actively working on 20 different things at once. Ya know, doing research and stuff. Right.

 

You must live in your own little world. Most people have 2 or 3 tabs open at most.

 

I had never bothered to try reading list, until I read your post. I'm using it now though. Thanks!

 

i think the limit is 25-30 tabs. On mac, haven't hit any limits yet, I usually have about 80 or so tabs open at the same time. Why? Because I like it that way!

 

You claim someone lives in their own little world then immediately follow that with an arbitrary number?

 

Very easily; by not trying to focus on 9 things at once. If I find that I have more than 4 or 5 tabs open I start closing some because there's no way that I'm actively switching between a half dozen different sites and actually getting anything meaningful out of the process. I've heard people claim that they NEED as many as 50 tabs open for their browsing habits and I just roll my eyes, because there's no way that anyone is doing anything efficiently if their attention is divided between dozens of browser tabs.

 

I count 36 tabs.

 

I like to open links in a new tab say when shopping. That way I can look at product details, and go back to the original tab for the product listing. Much faster than going back and forth, plus when going back on certain websites it takes you to the top of the page and have to then scroll to find where you were left off.
