I generally have between 5 and 30 tabs open, usually around 15. I am what I am.
Because I use my browser this way, I finally had to move from Firefox to Chromium. Chromium manages memory and CPU WRT tabs much better than Firefox.
I don't really like Chromium, but I got tired of listening to my laptop scream.
- AndrewDucker 15y agoActually, recent tests show that Firefox handles lots of tabs better: http://www.ghacks.net/2011/08/03/firefox-appears-to-handle-lots-of-tabs-better-than-chrome/ http://www.ghacks.net/2011/08/03/firefox-appears-to-handle-l... (This may be a recent thing. I'm running FF7 and it's definitely better on memory handling.)
- tjoff 15y agoTests... As the comments in the original article (and the HN-thread about it) shows that many finds that chrome is _vastly_ superior to firefox in this regard for real world scenarios (where you actually leave your browser on for long periods etc.).
- AndrewDucker 15y agoWell, if someone would like to run some simple tests (Open the same test of, say, 50 tabs in Chrome and FF and leave them overnight) and then measure memory usage, then I'd be fascinated to see some concrete figures.
