right now I have 326 open across 6 windows. I started using Readability to add things that I wanted to read later. Chrome is currently using 6.3GB of RAM EDIT: I use CMD + OPT + Left/Right Arrow to navigate through the tabs EDIT 2: Chrome handles this. I have never been able to accomplish this in Safari and/or Firefox. Even Chrome has issues with this type of abuse. Edit 3: Doing a quick look over misc tabs it is mostly articles I wanted to read, Cocos2d-X and other programming documentation, e-mail, calendar, Readability a few Tumblr's I follow, SO, etc.

You're the winner so far. Recently I had Chrome crash on me several times with 80 tabs. Rebuilding them is slow.... How is a crash with 300+?

  oh and sometimes I get spikes of memory usage over 10gb. Then it goes back down.
- jason_slack 13y ago
  When I crash and restore from previous session it take about 8 minutes...That is loading all the tabs, not waiting to load until it is clicked on...

    The best is when you have a few youtube pages or other auto sound generators in the stack. "Where is the sound coming from?!"

> EDIT 2: Chrome handles this. I have never been able to accomplish this in Safari and/or Firefox. I heard this a few times. I don't know what I'm doing "wrong" but for me FF easily handles a couple of hundred tabs, no questions asked. Is it because I often use flashblock and mostly consume boring (work-related) pages? As far as I remember that used to be the case on Mac as well.

  Yeah, I dont play any Flash and I have an extension for Chrome that doesn't auto-play YouTube. (new, I had to find something as after a crash all the movies start to play after a relaunch.)

  oh an idea. I am on OS X, I bet I could copy my Chrome data over to a Windows 7 partition and have it restore all of my tabs and see if Windows handles this easily as well!!

  You know why? I dont feel like bookmarks work well for me. Even with being able to type into the search bar. Also, It would take time to organize ALL of my bookmarks to where I could go just pick it from a list. I even started to write a browser that puts focus on your daily patterns, frequent sites, frequent search terms, in order to somehow try and make tabs manageable and allow us to get back to the data we care about without hundreds of open tabs.

    I agree....once I "bookmark" something, I may as well be putting it into the trash can. At least with many tabs, I'm sometimes forced to go back through and reconcile why they are open.
