How is that embarrassing? I have literally 639 tabs right now, across 39 windows. Just live your life as you see fit.
My god
I usually clear mine out when I get over 150 or so. My workflow absolutely doesn't work on Chrome, but Firefox seems to handle it fine.
Probably because 10 out of 14 of them are porn lol
Finally, someone who understands me
..............why?
Reposting a comment I wrote in another thread that explains it:
In Firefox Ctl+T opens a new tab, "% " will search your open tabs.
You caught me. I still daily drive Chrome. I am an on-again off-again Firefox user and have been for nearly 2 decades.
That said, I appreciate that input. I've been working on switching over to using Firefox as my daily driver, but it's going to take some time for me to fully transition, unless you know of an extension or script that can migrate all my chrome tabs over to Firefox. I'm curious to see if it can handle my full browsing habits, now that they've evolved into what most would consider "tab hoarder" behavior.
No shame, we all do what we do. Keep doing what works for you.
I'm not sure if One Tab will work for you, but it's worth a shot if you want to switch.
Typically FF will make background tabs sleep after a time, to reclaim resources.
How much memory does your computer have?
32gb. The browser is using about 11.2gb of ram at the moment, but I haven't restarted the browser or the computer in about a week. After a browser restart it's usually only using 5~6gb, though that steadily climbs as I reactivate hibernated tabs.
Reposting from a previous comment I've made about this topic:
Yeah, I see no issue with this. Im not gonna save seasons or bookmark entire window, Ill just leve it there, why not. RAM is there to be used.
