it says: "It looks like you're visiting Track This on your phone. Please use Desktop to activate your persona. Trust us, you don't really want to open 100 tabs on from your phone in any case."

Where's the fun in having the number of open tabs visible instead of just ':D'? I honestly can't remember the last time that was the case on my phone.

I smiled the first time I saw it.

Yes, it does. Though in Firefox it spawns 20 at a time and every time you click on the original tab it spawns another 20.

Not really sure that a browser should allow a site to open 100 tabs programmatically, if anything this is telling me that Firefox is open to such abuse.

If you are on Firefox, it actually recommends using another browser:

> It looks like you’re on Firefox. Because Firefox builds in all kinds of protections against malicious sites, it’ll only open 20 tabs at a time—and only if you allow pop-ups from this page. While 20 is enough, to see how wild 100 tabs can really get, try Track This on another browser.

Yes. One by one on Opera, didn't hang/slow-down my machine though.

Chromium does 1 at a time for me, 1 every second - was quite intensive.
