Lol 30 tabs is a lot? I'm running 32 gb ram on windows i7-6700 3.4 ghz on mini ATX and currently have 883 tabs open, using marvelous suspender and few other tweaks, but still have 95 windows opens (1 tab typically alive in each window minimum excluding my suspension blacklist...). Also have photoshop, notion, and a few other apps going and am running smoothly at 40-70% cpu utilization and 85% memory...

I think the "if you're not using a tab background suspender" part was important there. Not sure if Chrome is still this way, but it would allow background tabs to still run things like JS even after hours of not being focused.

  GP does say that the amount of tabs actually running still exceeds the number quoted by GGP

    They’re not comparable numbers. 800 tabs with 799 suspended is a different beast than 30 active tabs.

Wow. That would literally send my OCD over the edge. I have a thing about closing all my tabs, reading all my mail, and having nothing on my desktop at the end of the day.

  High tabs count are from people who don’t care to close tabs after they’re done or use them as a TODO list they never get to. Browsers should default to closing unused tabs (after 30 days?) and I’m glad that’s possible now. If you haven’t seen a tab in a month chances are you never will.

    I'll have you know that I kept a tab open for 3 months, and only then I ordered the item displayed in that tab. Yes, tabs as a todo list work. With a tab suspender extension.

    > Browsers should default to closing unused tabs Hey, what if I finally get to whatever interesting thing that tab had after 30 years of ignoring it?! But yeah, I just "close other tabs" every few weeks because it's 99% guaranteed I won't need them.
