Do you close your browser?

Do you close your browser before visiting the next site?

Do you mean tab?

I sometimes have many tabs open in my browser but if I'm done visiting a forum, I log out and then close the tab. I don't close the browser until I'm ready to get out of my chair.

I too have several tabs opened. If it gets to be too much, I move some to bookmarks.

 

[GalraKeith]

sometimes but most of the bookmark the sites

If I'm done using a tab I will close it. That doesn't stop me from having about 30 tabs open across 3 webbrowsers though. I do a LOT of stuff, and it requires me to have a lot of tabs open nonestop lol

I generally close the browser at the end of the session, and I always set the browser to clear all cookies when closed.

Depends, if I'm done with that tab being open then yes, I close it 😉 if not then I keep it open 🙂 But does not stop me having 500 tabs open and having my PC fans spin 400%

I rarely close tabs. I only close the tab after I know that I am done with it. For the browser - I rarely close it.

 

[MrDawn]

When I have multiple tabs open I will.

NOPE - then again depends really.

 

[Ozzy47]

Not really, it’s almost always open.

I always close tabs when I've finished with them because I tend to have a lot of tabs running at one time if that makes any sense. My other half on the other hand never, ever closes tabs and then complains when her mobile phone battery drains faster than she can empty my bank account 😱

I have around ~100-200 tabs open, with about 4-5 windows open depending on how much work I have going on... I also have 2 primary monitors, a vertical monitor for text-based tasks (reading web pages/Discord/excel) and an auxiliary touch screen that runs a custom macro software one of my employees developed.

Old unused browser tabs on mobile browsers are generally set to hibernate, and do not actually take up much if any resources.

I usually don't close my browser entirely, but I try to close tabs I'm not using. I usually forget though, and end up with like 40 tabs open at once.

That makes sense. It's probably due to all the other apps that never get closed down.

Most modern phones also put apps into a standby mode, or close them out of memory as well; some apps are persistent with background processes, but that is generally not the case.

GPS, Bluetooth (not as much with newer bluetooth), brightness and background services are usually the cause for battery decline; also if you use attached devices such as smart watches.
