@edenwaith great stuff, really appreciate it, been wrestling with getting a tab count script to work correctly. Your's works really well!

@edenwaith Hi,

How can I run this from Safari ?

@sebma see this: https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/260540/how-to-install-user-applescripts-for-safari-and-activate-the-scripts-menu-item

an alternative method would be to install the script as a Service, so it's accessible from any app, including Safari

A bit briefer and quicker:

tell application "Safari" to return the number of tabs in windows

@ChristoferK Excellent suggestion. That's much simpler, cleaner, and noticeably faster version of the script.
A Google Chrome version of that script would be:
tell application "Google Chrome" to return the number of tabs in windows

A bit briefer and quicker:

tell application "Safari" to return the number of tabs in windows

Thanks this works great!
