I do that (100+ tabs open at any given time) due to my work (research tends to take up a ton of windows) and because I’m too scatterbrained to focus on a single thing at once, but even then I find that Firefox is really good and arguably better than Chrome. Maybe Chrome has improved since I switched over, but Firefox uses significantly less resources than the Chrome that I remember
I have ~800 tabs open in Firefox, no real issues unless I flip through all of them or Tab Groups shuffles them all around. My desktop until recently was over a decade old and the new one is barely any faster.
I’ve had 5k+ tabs open at some points, because I just don’t close any of them, and I often middle click as I want to navigate back to the page I was at. Additionally, a lot of sites break the back button, like collapsing comments re-expanding, or it loads slowly and I wanted to look at it quick. Organization is pretty nice with Tree-Style Tab for Firefox.
Every few months I purge all of my tabs, but for the most part, I just don’t care when I have 32 GB of RAM.
You sound like someone that doesn’t open 200+ tabs of furry adult imagery on e621 while playing processor intensive games.
I mean… I’m obviously not that person either, but it would be cool to have the RAM to support it or the correct web browser if I was that type of person. But I’m not. But having that capability would be nice (not because I need it).
Cool, now how much is it outside “the US and maybe select parts of Europe where it’s close enough”? Because not all the world uses dollars, and certainly not US dollars.
I’m relatively familiar with the global population distribution, but not at all familiar with the pricing differences. It’s the price of RAM drastically different outside the US?

Tab Groups+ Tree Style Tabs
I try to open new windows for every individual thing I do, but sometimes I forgot and the big tab Groups grow.

I can confirm, the problem is, when you have 500+ tabs, you dont know what you actually have opened.
Ever since firefox switched to quantum it’s been great. I would say it outperforms chromium under typical circumstances.

I have actually always found Firefox to perform better. Especially compared to the RAM whore, Chrome.

…I don’t look at furry porn.
No cap ong
32GB of RAM is less than $50, I just built a new PC, and it was the easiest upgrade I made to my build, regardless of what you put in your tabs

Probably depends on where you are, how much is it for you?
It ultimately doesn’t matter where I am from. I’m just trying to highlight the fact that not all the world is the US.
