Come back when you have 150 tabs open. Anyways, somewhere around 200 across 4 windows is where i start seeing about 10GB ram used, with os and other apps.
RAM never seems to be much of an issue unless im abusing things; its cpu/disk that kills me, particularly when some background process goes out of control.
- laumars 9y agoBeen there, done that. I was constantly losing documents I wanted saved because the browser would crash etc. So then I realised my behavior was counterproductive and thus since employed a more sane approach to tab usage. Honestly; having more than a dozen tabs open doesn't make you a hero. It just makes your life a little less convenient.
- vidarh 9y agoI'm horrible about tabs too. But I mostly use it as a "I'll use this page again in a moment". Often that's true, but often I also just end up leaving it around. My solution was the OneTab extension for Chrome. It gives you a button to click to close all tabs (with some ways of marking exceptions), and adds them to a page, so you won't lose them. It groups it by date, from newest to oldest. It makes it easy to come back to the things I left in tabs "in case", while keeping the tab count down. In effect I find I come back to quite few of them, but knowing I can makes it a lot easier mentally to press that button. (And now I'm off to do just that before doing some work)
- krylon 9y ago> its cpu/disk that kills me CPU is rarely an issue for me, but disks are a constant source of annoyance. The turning point for me was when I got a new PC at home that has an SSD. I used to think people exaggerated the benefits of SSDs, or that they were just very impatient. ... Now I am spoiled.
