It might depend on your system resources, but I have +300 tabs open right now and I don't experience any problems. The only thing that's a bit slow is if I restart the browser, it takes a bit long to start up.
- yourpalkeith 8y agoWhy would you want so many tabs open in the first place? Is this really a common way to use a browser?
- reitanqild 8y ago> Why would you want so many tabs open in the first place? Some reasons: - Ctrl-clicking to open tabs since I can then load them in the background (because I'm impatient, and because I don't want to get distracted by clicking into all the references in the main tab while reading. - using tab tree extension I can then easily see what path lead to some interesting page I found - by default, if you type ab address you already have open in another tab, Firefox will jump to that tab. > Is this really a common way to use a browser? Yep. Bot extremely common but I do it and a number of other HN-ers as well. Mozilla seems to be aware of it and seems to have it in their performance tests or something.
- mclehman 8y agoMy workflow is the same. I'll usually have 100 tabs open on a particular device, going up to nearly 1000 tabs across my phone, laptop, and desktop in rare instances.
