- Don't complain about lack of options. You've got to pick a few when you do multiple choice. Those are the breaks.
- Feel free to suggest poll ideas if you're feeling creative. I'd strongly suggest reading the past polls first.
- This whole thing is wildly inaccurate. Rounding errors, ballot stuffers, dynamic IPs, firewalls. If you're using these numbers to do anything important, you're insane.

I have a few bookmark folders that I open-all in the morning, e.g. "News". That's about 20 pages.
Then I google around while programming. That's another 20 easy.

There are about five I visit everyday, multiple times. One of those is the google news feed, which accounts for most of the remaining random sites.

Same deal - My "daily" folder has ~20 pages, plus a "news" folder which sites drop into and out of has a bit over 70 "work through while compiling" pages.
Not every site updates daily though, so a lot of those are "glance at & close" - Sites I actually read through on a daily basis is probably single figures (SN, Ars & a couple of others) plus programming references & library docs.

I was going to post that.
A few months back icanhazcheezeburger would killed dns due to the number of domains it hits. Not sure if that was a router or ISP limitation. Problem went away when I told my brother's computer to use the Google DNS server instead.
Other than that, browsing sites like this one, I end up visiting dozens of sites to at least pretend to read TFA.

I occasionally visit Reddit, Facebook, and a local news site.
For all the rest, including Soylent News, I use RSS (migrated to Feedly, since Google Reader died).

I've found a couple that are usually at least worth glancing through, in case you haven't tried them:
Oglaf! [oglaf.com] (which is bizarrely addictive in the "what whacked-out idea will the author come up with next?!" way, but usually very NSFW)
Joy of Tech [joyoftech.com]

I don't use the internet. To avoid NSA spying, I do all my web browsing by carrier pigeon. Don't worry, the pigeon has a tin foil hat, so they can't steal his thoughts.

I really don't know how many sites I visit. I watch news feeds, and click on headlines that interest me. Those may take me anywhere, though not generally to the MSM sites. Some bit of news gets my attention, I'm not satisfied with the story, so I do a search for terms in the story, and read alternative views on as few as two, or as many as twenty other sites.
Email takes me all over the web. Despite some pretty strict spam rules, all kinds of stuff comes into my main email account. Much of it only deserves a glance, some I skim, some I follow up on with a click, then maybe a search, and more clicks.
Then, there are forums and discussion sites such as Soylent. I follow all kinds of links here. God only knows where Phoenix is going to send me next, LMAO.
But, I just don't count. I can say that before I upgraded my computer, I found myself running very low on memory, with the computer running slowly. Took a look at HTOP, and Firefox was bloated beyond anything I'd ever noticed before. Started counting tabs as I closed them, and got to 60 when I stopped. Minimized Firefox, and watched as HTOP reported gigs of memory being freed up. At a minimum, I have six tabs opened all the time.

Unless I'm programming something that I haven't before, then the number of sites will jump into the hundreds for a single day as I try to find the right documentation, commentary and the most difficult, a good tutorial that goes into sufficient detail to explain everything as per the standard.
