What's frustrating is you can't solve this with tech anymore.
For my last gaming build I bought a boatload of RAM thinking it'd let me have my tabs and play games without issue...
At some number of tabs well before you've maxed out your RAM your entire system slows to a crawl and you end up having to close them all anyways
- podiki 6y agoI find browsers (or at least my Firefox set up) much better at not loading every single tab, at least after you start up the browser with previous tabs. If you just leave it open and keep opening tabs...yeah that adds up. Though of course there are extensions to deal with that too, auto sleeping a tab. (I had a bad experience with one such extension a long time ago, that lost a lot of tabs. aaaagh)

- ksec 6y agoThis hasn't been the case for Firefox and Safari, and quite recently on Chrome. Those tabs that are not active will be unloaded after a period of time. And if you close your browser and reopen, all of tabs will remain but unload by default. So they are more like a list.
- BoorishBears 6y agoThis is how it should work, but eventually Chrome will grind to a halt A big part of it seems to be sites with memory leaks which for one reason or another aren't suspended
