May I introduce you to the concept of bookmarking things, so you can find them later?
I don't understand why anyone should have those many tabs open. That is not practical at all, I don't believe anybody who says something different, sorry.
- nicklaf 5y agoI'm not necessarily saying it's a good idea! Just that I would caution anyone considering running Firefox on vanilla Linux with less than 8GB of RAM. As for the 'hundreds of browser tabs' I mentioned, most of those aren't loaded anyway, and yet Firefox still eats up RAM, especially on sites like Facebook and Discord. I also whitelist Javascript using uBlock Origin, which helps some but really it's a losing battle--leaving hundreds of tabs open or not, there's no reason today to have less than 16GB of RAM on a modern PC. It's been a while since I've looked, but last I checked, pretty much every model that was price competitive with regular notebook PCs had no more than 4GB soldered RAM, which really is unacceptable. Looking on Acer's website, the only 8GB model is $929, which is about twice as expensive as what I can get by buying one of their non-Chromebook notebooks.
