I have 605 tabs open right now, so you might say that I have a long reading list... but that's mostly because I don't use bookmarks at all and prefer to leave tabs open in the off-chance that I feel like going back to it. Not surprisingly, my browser crashes a lot.

damn, 600 tabs? I currently only have 2 open. I usually go up to about 5-8 before I start closing them.

Wow. Doesn't that make your computer run slow?

Actually no, just sometimes (once a week), my browser will disappear, and I'll get the Firefox error message. It crashes a lot less than Chromium did for me (which crashed daily), where I normally had just eighty tabs open, but that was the limit because the tabs shrunk. I have a plugin called "vertical tabs" that allows me to stack the tabs infinitely, which may or may not be a good thing, considering that I have 600 of them open.

Heh, and there I was concerned about my ~20 tabs . . .
