your three tabs

i use google to search wikipedia etc tho

Yeah, I will type into Google "new york knicks wiki" or whatever.

Which is often unnecessary, b/c Wikipedia is likely to be among the first few search results, anyway.

same

ilx, gmail, nyt

gmail, wikipedia, ....yeah I guess ilx actually.

also to determine which of two spellings is the more common one by number of hits, or whether a phrase is common enough for me to include it in my writing

Oh yeah, I do this too.

lol only 3 tabs

whether a phrase is common enough for me to include it in my writing

Yup.

whether a phrase is common enough for me to include it in my writing

yeah, I do this a lot. sometimes I'll compare the hit counts for two similar phrases to decide which one is correct. I have way too much faith in the masses sometimes.

altho sometimes I'll do the opposite & use google to figure out whether the phrase I just typed (or the bad pun that just popped into my head) is obvious prefabricated twaddle that 10,000 people have already thought of before or whether it is a strikingly original expression that could only have come from my unconventional mind (translation: it's such an awful pun that no one else has dared to put it in print, even on the internet).

Bahaha I do exactly this! Like "um hold on wait maybe 2,000 people before me have found it funny to claim Angelique Kidjo is the older sister of Ugly Kid Joe?"

ilx; at least one youtube tab, usually a wikipedia tab or two, google news; if it's friday then a couple tabs of craigslist yard sales

I only really look at email on my phone

ILX, a backpacking forum where I am a moderator, third tab rotates a lot

whoa, i guess most people who use chrome already know this, but you can "pin" your favorite tabs so that they're always open, but take up less space. here's my (main) three tabs, pinned:

Three? Oh man, I wish :(

I have 53 tabs open right now. Some have been open for months.

o shit are u my mom?

well this is awkward

gmail, ilx, twitter

fourth tab usually google or a blog or something else i'm reading. kind of alarmed by how few people are including email in their 3, unless maybe they have it installed as something they don't read on their browser or something?
