Open fours are more consistently distinguishable from other characters when compared with closed fours, and thus are the superior form of the symbol, especially in the context of handwritten numbers.

Okay, but what about dashed seven versus seven with no dash? Should one get little feet or not?

Er, the number one, not the passive 'one'

Regarding one: where there is potential confusion with the letter L, the writer should include the serif at the top of the numeral. Where no such confusion exists, a serif is not needed (as it invites confusion with the numeral seven).

Regarding seven: the middle line is appropriate where there is confusion caused by an overly large serif on the numeral one.

There should also be no less than 8 tabs open in a browser window at any given time.

No *fewer* than.

Having less than 8 tabs open in a browser window is definitely the lesser option.
