Let's say you're on 4chan and there's a creative thread with a bunch of images. Threads can reach 150 images before they max out. You could use the Linky extension to "Open All Image Links in Tabs" and you would instantly be up over 100 tabs.
That's just one use case, but there are certainly many others.
- beaumartinez 15y ago150 tabs of images isn't the same as 150 tabs of web pages, though.
- Perceval 15y agoThat's certainly true, but Chrome ostensibly doesn't know that, and spins a new process per tab (or close to it). Creating 150 new processes, even if just to load an image in each, increases memory consumption and processor overhead.
- d0m 15y agoInstead of 200 pages of images, get on a real site and open only one tab with a video ;-)
- doctoboggan 15y agoThere is a google chrome extension for 4chan that will let you preload all images or open all images inline. It also auto fetches new replys and loads them inline aswell. I am on my phone right now so I can't find what it is called, but IIRC it was the most popular and highest rated 4chan extension.
- Perceval 15y agoI have that Chrome extension and a similar one for Safari. I just dislike opening images inline or all loaded into one separate tab, because then it turns saving individual images into a mouse-driven task rather than a keyboard-driven task. As an aside: what do you use to browse Hacker News on your phone?
- doctoboggan 15y agoI just use safari, is there a better option?
- Perceval 15y agoThere are some apps for browsing HN in the app store, but I haven't bought any of them to try. Right now I browse HN through http://ihackernews.com/ http://ihackernews.com/ which is a nicer stylesheet for mobile browsing.
- doctoboggan 15y agoAwesome, thanks. I was getting annoyed trying to click on the comment link on my phone.
