Honestly ... I think that's a myth. I have 200+ FF Nightly tabs open, and I did have up to five tab groups with 100+ tabs each, as well as dozens of Addons, including the notoriously laggy Dark Reader, and I don't notice any slowdown I wouldn't call acceptable - just the usual suspects (Teams and google apps) are crap, but that's just incompatibility with standards on their part. And I don't have any crazy PC or something, just a pretty old 5 2600 and for the most part 16 GB Ram (which did get pretty tight with Minecraft, Idea and FF running), now 32 GB Detotaded Wam.

Both Firefox (see about:unloads) & Chromium have a feature to unload old tabs when running low on memory. On session restore all tabs start unloaded

Yep. I even have an extension to manually unload tabs/tab groups. That's why I wonder why even IT people say more tabs = worse performance.

I didn't realize Dark Reader was laggy or known to be laggy but it makes sense. It doesn't matter in any case, you'd have to pry it from my cold dead eyes

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

Well it does alter the whole website, in consideration of other parts of the website, which means it fully parses it. Therefore a website is basically handled two or three times before it's finally displayed.

only effect I have is on startup and it using a lot of memory

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Can't you just.... Close them? Why you you need 200 tabs? You do know about bookmarks right?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Bookmarks, do you have any idea how much more time it takes to delete a bookmark

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

It's a right click and delete. I keep a folder called tmp for exactly this reason. I really don't understand why people do it but man it is infuriating watching someone do it. Maybe it's a bit of ocd tendencies but I absolutely hate it.

I just shove the tabs in a seperate window and let them eat a couple gigs of RAM, webpages need a little snack sometimes.

Because they're all active projects, and most of them are open "just in case I need that exact piece of information again".
