Using single process Firefox forks I often load in 500 tabs plus another 500+ suspended in under 4 GB. Of course I'm also running NoScript temp whitelist only and most sites are websites not web applications. But 1000 loaded tabs is certainly doable in way less than 16GB of ram if you don't use a multi-process browser. It's just a shame this is written as a chrome style extension (which modern FF supports) and not a firefox extension.
- eitland 6y agoWhich fork do you use? I'm starting to get seriously tempted to go with one of the forks. I seriously miss the old extensions.
- superkuh 6y agoPale Moon. Although I usually try to not say which fork aloud on HN because anything but FF gets massively downvoted.
- mcdevilkiller 6y agoYou can use auto tab discard. I've done 1500 tabs on an 8GB windows machine.
