I have three pinned tabs, and about 10 more important ones. Here's what I generally have open:

Pinned @ work:

  • Jira
  • Okta
  • Postman (I'm a BE dev)

"Essential" tabs at work:

  • about 5 main Github repos (we have over a dozen, but I mostly stick to those)
  • a couple Confluence pages
  • a couple Google Docs
  • QA test run page

Pinned at home:

  • email
  • wavemaker - creative writing, and I always forget the hostname

"Essential" tabs at home:

  • my gitlab
  • a couple game wikis
  • FOSS projects in development I depend on

I can get to pretty much everything else quickly with DDG bangs or memory.

So at work, a "clean" browser is mostly filled with tabs, and at home it's about half filled with tabs. I keep the essential ones on the far left, so "close to right" generally works well.
