Can I ask, what do people with 100 browser tabs do with them?  Do you just keep them open in case you want to look at them later?  You do realise you can bookmark sites and visit them later?

I would on rare occasion have 10 to 15, if I'm researching something and want to look at a bunch of forum posts/websites to see which has the answer I need, but otherwise, its usually 1 - 4 or so.
