I know an anecdote isn't data, but here we go:
I often have >100 tabs open. I also sometimes have to restart my mac, and reopen those tabs. While Chrome then struggles for a few minutes, it doesn't take half an hour, like this article suggests, to open 100+ tabs.
And I did switch to Chrome from Firefox, as it seems to handle a lot of open tabs a lot better.
- zobzu 15y agoI'm pretty sure the total time depends on which webpages you open. Also please note that this is for Firefox nightly (8) only. This might also be true for FF 6 and 7 but nothing before that. Memshrink enhancements have only started at FF 6 (which is not yet released as stable, but soon)

- unicornporn 15y agofor me, the big difference between firefox and chrome is that it isn't a total usability disaster to handle that many tabs in firefox if you use the tree style tab ( https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tree-style-tab/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tree-style-ta... ) extension.
- rmccue 15y agoPersonally, I find the Panorama feature helps with that, as does having a tab list. Does Chrome offer either of those?
