I'm there with you (1500+ in one browser instance). But I don't consider it a problem. I have tab suspend and full text tab search via add-ons, I group my tabs linearly by topic and date, and the older 1/3 of tabs I know position by heart. Because I use a single process browser+noscript instead of a "modern" JS-engine-centric browser (ie, Chrome/FF) even with 600 tabs of 1500 loaded in my ram usage is still under 3 GB.
Minimalism and other philosophies don't really translate over into digital spaces. I have as much "space" as I want and nothing gets in the way of anything else. I see no problems with my status quo since 2003.
I have saved my session files every couple weeks ever since Opera introduced tabs and sessions in version 5 back in the early 2000s. With these I made some plots back in 2017: http://superkuh.com/number-of-tabs-vs-date-2017.png http://superkuh.com/number-of-tabs-vs-date-2017.png and http://superkuh.com/number-of-tabs-vs-date-2003.png http://superkuh.com/number-of-tabs-vs-date-2003.png
- dublin 6y agoIt's easier to use Chrome for my work browser, so it only has a few dozen tabs open, but my primary home/sidejobs browser is Firefox, currently running at somewhere in the 1600-2000 tab range. Only Firefox can do that without barfing. (And that's on the old Surface Pro 4 i5/8GB - it runs just fine.) I REALLY miss TabMixPlus, though... (a FF extension broken with the purge of XUL from Quantum)
- superkuh 6y agoSo use a browser that still supports XUL like I do. One example is Pale Moon.
- beagle3 6y agoWhat's the full text tab search addon you use? And doesn't it conflict with the automatic tab suspend?
