Why Browser Users Open So Many Tabs?

  • Comparison: Users want to compare multiple items (e.g., shopping).
  • Research: Gathering information on a topic.
  • Multitasking: Handling multiple tasks simultaneously.
  • Bookmarks: Using tabs as bookmarks… instead of just using bookmark.
  • Fear of Forgetting: Worried about forgetting things.
  • Pending Tasks: Want to come back to tasks later.
  • Low Attention Span: Easily distracted.
  • FOMO/Habit: Fear of missing out, poor tab management skills.

Problems with having too many tabs

  • Performance: Reduced computer performance, drains battery.
  • Mental Overload: Increases stress and confusion.
  • Management: Hard to manage, can’t read tab names (only see icons).
