None, because mid-July through August is my quietest period of the year and I am not currently working on a project. Normally, when I am performing a translation I have at least four work-related browser tabs open at the same time.

None, I am not currently working on a project. The number of work-related browser tabs I have opened at the same time depends a lot on the project I’m working on at the moment, ranging from none to four, five, six…

In this open I have 4 tabs open, three of them dictionaries.
Not many since the translation is a quite simple one

My (main) e-mail tab, and this proz tab, which I suppose doesn't count, although it is sort of loosely work-related...
I've just finished a short translation of SW strings via the client's online platform, so that tab is now closed.
I usually prefer to have as few tabs open as possible at the same time, to avoid clutter.

I usually work with 5 tabs. My Chrome already opens these 5 tabs automatically.
And I have one extra tab opened temporarily as "in another window" regularly, i.e. the one I'm currently reading/consulting.

Between various dictionaries, mail, cloud resources, books and research articles to which I may have to refer back later, I have more than 20 open tabs, eight of which open automatically whenever I start the navigator I use for work.
It saves a lot of time to have certain resources on hand and allows quick term comparison between different sources.

Is this poll intended to find out if we visit Proz.com during work (as a distraction? or a helpful tool?) or after work? My answer would be totally different depending on the time of the day.

Yes, I know, looks like a mess but I feel myself comfortable. What drives me nuts is unannounced Windows' updates:(.
