I don't have a recipe :)
It depends on complexity/project code widespread & your current intents.
Currently i writing some stuff which is very small addition to
existing code base, so its enough to keep 2 browser windows open for

But sometimes it happens, that you need to go and explore things
(senders/implementors etc) and very soon you could have dozens of
windows open.
