Refers to the overall habit of reluctantly keeping multiple internet-browsing tabs open at the same time, for a long duration of time. Often this is done as a way to temporarily save & set aside the tabs for later use. This is because the individual intended to permanently close it after they were done using it. Note: The individual in question (called a "tab-hoarder"), does not necessarily have to have all the different tabs opened in the same window, at the same time, to be considered "tab-hoarding". It should also be noted that there is no scientifically agreed-upon consensus on the minimum number of tabs & time duration required for one to identify as "tab-hoarding". However, what is clear is the fact that "tab-hoarding" is a very normal behavior, especially in environments requiring people to regularly use the internet for multiple purposes.
