I feel called out ๐
I have had whatever number of tabs open on Firefox mobile where it stops giving you a number and you get the โ symbol...
I feel like mobile is fair. Things open new tabs automatically a lot more. But I have seen some scary posts asking how to organize tens of thousands of tabs. There's a neat part to that.
Doesn't Firefox on mobile can be configured to automatically close tabs after some period? I recall enabling that. That solves this problem!
I have it set to close after a week, but still reaching a point when ff no longer bothers to count them.
I actually use the feature that groups them when inactive long enough. If I save a tab on my computer I'm never going back to it but, for some reason, I do eventually get to it on my phone before closing. Usually news articles in reader mode.
The old Opera when it used the Pesto engine was even better at it.
I believe literally everyone who used Opera had the habit of having a lot of tabs. They were extremely lightweight.
Sadly they abandoned the engine and now Opera is yet another chrome clone.
