I only have 34 open at the moment, so I'm doing well at keeping it minimal.

Only one browser, two instances between two monitors. But I will be opening a second browser soon just for watching episodes on a certain streaming services a friend is giving me access to. Because Waterfox doesn't play well with streaming services...ugh.

...I have 1 tab open right now. Most I might have open at once is like... 3. Same for my phone, it's 1 tab unless I'm looking something up, and I'll tend to close it after anyway.
At work I might have like... 5-6 tabs open at once. That includes having email and JIRA open all the time.
My last partner was someone who had like 60 tabs open at once, and it always drove me barmy. I refuse to believe you're going to revisit a tab you opened a week ago and can now only see the icon because the tabs are so compressed.
EDIT: I guess to answer the open/close in a day part... Might close my browser window like 10 times throughout the day, technically reopening my homepage tab when I open it again. At work I might close like 30-40 tabs over the course of a day... I try to just open whatever I need in the beginning of my day and then just keep it open.

Normally I'd say I end up on about 150-ish. Normally I just move on from something once I've read it and never bother to close that tab.
I remember during the time I used Chrome I had a tab counter and it hit above 200,000 in the 3 or so years I defected from Firefox. This was a decade ago though.

I’m much more disciplined with my phone than I have ever been with a computer. Chrome has a few tabs that stay open at all times… a pinned admin panel tab for the wolf games, a tab for the forum home page, and then the regular Safari version of the forums for the actual posts I make. I also have a separate tab group for all of my repo-related stuff, which has probably 10-15 tabs at any given time. Back when I was actively in the field doing work, though? Man… I’d regularly crash Chrome.
On my phone, I only ever really have 2-4 open. If I end up with more, I tend to close the extra ones fairly fast.
On my desktop, usually less than 10 open at a time? 6 right now. I do end up opening and closing a good chunk, but it's probably less than 100 a day at worst. Often it's just opening a link or a video in a new tab, checking it out, and then closing it right after.

Oh, hundreds, easily. I read a lot of links off of news aggregators (though less so within the last couple of weeks), open multiple tabs for reference in Wolf, look up game help, you name it. Work has a lot of looking up reference materials and then closing the tab after I'm done.
At work I have about six tabs always open and the others usually get closed the same day. On mobile I'm currently at 35 tabs, which is pretty low for me. I kinda use tabs as bookmarks (I know, I know), so I have a tab group for recipes, a tab group for places I want to go, a group for stuff I'm looking at buying, etc. It often runs into the triple digits. My girlfriend calls them my emotional support tabs.
But if I keep a group of five tabs open, I probably looked at 50 things before narrowing it down to the five, so I definitely close a bazillion tabs through the day. Every time I close one accidentally and notice a few minutes later, I end up reopening a dozen tabs before I get to the one I want to restore.
