I dont mean to offend, but it sounds as if the problem is your workflow rather than the device. There's no reason to keep 100+ tabs open unless you don't know how to use bookmarks/citation software/save pages offline effectively. I also find myself with many tabs open once in a while, but if I see FF above 8GB of RAM I'm not going to think the issue is the hardware. Opening PDF in FF also always is a pain but there are plenty of lightweight readers.

Yeah. The workflow I use for serious work actually ends up using less tabs because I tend to take care of stuff. I also bookmark/tag/close the important stuff. I talked a bit about my setup a few months ago in an HN post. [0] But just for casual browsing? I prefer to leave stuff open as a reminder to pick it back up again. My home office is also pretty messy in terms of books scattered about though, so this probably boils down to a personal preference. Come to think of it, maybe there's an analogy between people who keep their desk neat and tidy / those who program in languages requiring manual memory allocation versus those who like to leave books open and scattered / prefer the decreased mental overhead of working in garbage collected languages. :-P [0] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25612092 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25612092
