  And not very efficiently either, can’t seem to handle 99+ tabs and starts getting unstable as you get closer to that number.

  Chrome at least can handle 300-600 tabs across 30 windows (The most I’ve ever pushed it) without breaking a sweat

    I think you have a tab problem.

    I suggest you try out a 12 step program. Tabaholics Anonymous works.

    Are you the guy that posted on the Microsoft forums about Edge crashing after 1600 open tabs?

    • cm0002@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

      Hell the fuck no, I only ever run a single tab in edge, the tab to download another browser

      FUCK edge

        That’s one more tab than you need, tho.

        (Hint: use an OS that comes with Firefox – and a package manager, for that matter – by default.)

        For win10/11, you should just be able to bypass using a browser and install directly from an elevated cmd using winget.

        They used Chrome in the instructions, but it works with Firefox too. (It’s my preferred method.) how2shout.com/…/a-single-command-to-install-googl…

        The winget package manager should already be installed on updated systems, but if not, you can install it from the Microsoft Store app. It is listed as ‘App Installer’ and is authored by Microsoft.

    And I thought I was a monster with 50 tabs.

      Man the highest tabs amount of tabs i get up to is in the 30s, and only in private browsing mode.

    Oh whoops, I should close some windows, because I currently have 623 open tabs in Firefox across 107 windows. It’s working fine, even with all my plugins running. Firefox is good at unloading dormant tabs.

      They’re probably talking about their experience on their hardware, we don’t know what machine or what version of Firefox they’re talking about. (It’s possible it’s a really old version and not really relevant now or it’s possible their experience is valid for their hardware)

    What could you possibly be doing with 600 tabs??

    Well, I HATE having many tabs open. Just bookmark them for later. So far, FF is friendlier with how I go whereas the last times I tried Chrome, it often allocates RAM at launch for a thousand tabs that will never exist (hyperbole but you get it)

    I am not sure what you can possibly expect of any program. That is absurd.

    • cm0002@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

      Well if Chrome “The RAM Eater” can handle it, then it’s not that absurd ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

  Yep, I use Firefox for the idea, but let’s stop kidding ourselves that it is in any way memory efficient or fast
