Count of Chrome when 100 tabs are opened

　"How many tabs of smartphone web browsers are open?" Especially on smartphones, new tabs often open a new tab when opening a new page from a web page, so if you start a research, some people will temporarily open many tabs. [Image] Count display of tabs in secret mode (Chrome) reporters themselves use web searches at work, so specific websites are always opened, but they often erase them if they are not needed. The number of tabs used is about 4 to 8. But his friend says, "I keep more than 100 tabs open." He said, "It's troublesome to close each time," but when you ask if it's so open and you don't know what it is, you don't know how many tabs are actually open now. " Someday, my friend, Chrome, stopped counting tabs and started laughing.

Chrome Easter eggs in the tab count

　When you ask in detail what it is, if you put out a certain number of tabs, Chrome seems to quit the count.Google Chrome (Version 97) actually using Pixel 5a.0.4692.98) I decided to check it.As we continued to open the tab, 99 pieces were able to confirm that Chrome stopped the numbers, and that in the 100th, they would replace ": D" instead of numbers.This notation is actually one of the "Easter Eggs" that the developer of Chrome was prepared as a hidden function.The reporter knew the existence for the first time through this verification, but it is a familiar display for users who always open many tabs, and may be common sense for some people.

What happens in secret mode and other browsers?

　Furthermore, as an additional verification, open 100 tabs in secret mode, unlike before, displayed ";)" in the 100th one. With a wink, I was cheated by charming. In addition to Chrome, we also verified the smartphone version of "Firefox", "Microsoft Edge", "Brave", "Yahoo! JAPAN" and "Safari". As a result, the tabs after 100 pieces and subsequent tabs are "∞" in Firefox (the same as secret mode), icons with three squares in Edge (the same as secret mode), and ": d" (similar to secret mode) in brave. display. In the Yahoo! browser app, ":)" was displayed, but from the 101st, there was a warning that "the number of windows has reached the limit" and the tab could not be added. In Safari, the 100th and subsequent ones were written on the "100 tabs" and counted the number patiently. I knew the existence of Easter eggs related to the web browser from an unexpected place this time, but I would like to be able to manage tabs frequently in the future because I want you to be laughing and cheating only because of the interpersonal relationship.
