    Sounds like a terrible web browser, if it can’t handle my 500+ tabs I don’t want that negativity to run on my machine lol

        Maybe the new one will respect real-world use cases and not enforce such silly limitations just because the developers got lazy

    This is a UI problem, not a you or I problem. Browser makers never figured out how to do bookmarks properly, so tabs became a bad reinvention of bookmarks.

    Look at how some students work with their textbooks: they fill the book with tons of little sticky bookmarks, colour coded and everything. You can write on them too!

    So why are these better than tabs or bookmarks on web browsers? Because they’re organized per-book! Put one book aside and grab another and it becomes a whole new space to put your stickies! Browser tabs do let you do that with multiple windows or tab groups, but it’s too clunky and not spatial/tactile the way books are, so people don’t remember what’s in those other tabs.

      That’s why I use Vivaldi. Between its workspaces (different books) I can have the relevant tabs and tab stacks for when I eventually need them because I’ll never find them again or remember them in some bookmark tool. They also have tab memory management so anything I haven’t opened in x amount of time, the process is killed so my browser doesn’t implode.

        Zen browser does exactly this with workspaces which each have their tabs, with the option to pin some of those and/or put them in folders. So if you wanna get away from chromium it should not be too much of a change (not to mention the many things Zen does great over base firefox)

          How does it do with memory management? Before Vivaldi implemented it, it would obviously get laggy after a while.

    i like and feel slightly judged by the fact that firefox will just use the ♾️ symbol at the 100th tab and stop counting

      Just looked it up, the change of gagging and vomiting seems real. Not sure if it’s safe though.

    This is the one flavor of ADHD meme that completely baffles me. On desktop, the second my tabs start getting squished down, I have to pare it back down. On my phone, I’m less diligent, but if I’m approaching double digits, I zero it all out. Feels like it’s a holdover from growing up with crappy computers.

      I pretty much never have more than 3 or 4 open at one time and always close out when I’m done. Do people not know what bookmarks and history Are for?

      Well this looks like an iOS screenshot so not THAT much RAM lol

      But also I’m pretty sure after some inactivity the tabs get unloaded from RAM. Also whenever you close the browser.

        This is correct, this is why pretty much every tab you go back to in Safari will need to reload first. It only keeps the thumbnail.
