RandomVideos@programming.dev 4 weeks agoThe bing homepage is so terrible
I had a friend that used microsoft edge and bing because they were the default and said that firefox is the worst and edge is much better
I did switch his default browser to firefox and search engine(on edge) to google(i wanted to switch to duckduckgo, but he hated it for no reason) while he was talking

Can confirm. Even though everyone shits on Chrome for its liberal use of your RAM, Firefox will never suspend any pages, making it unusable when you’re multitasking.
That’s an ongoing issue, too! Hasn’t been fixed for maybe a year at this point.

What are you doing that renders Firefox unusable? I’ve never had this issue in over a decade and I usually have 10+ tabs open.

10? Try (currently) 98 across 9 windows, 2 desktops. Firefox just dies. Chrome works, but Edge (thanks to its more agressive backgrounder) handles it fine. Reopens windows after reboot/shutdown better too. And that number goes up if I’m researching something - I’ve been upwards of 200 across 3 or 4 desktops in the past, easily.

Just ew… I will never understand this shit. Tabs aren’t fucking bookmarks.

I have like 300 tabs open at any given time, I have never had this problem. I also recently downloaded an extension for tab groups and making it so tabs get suspended after 15 minutes of inactivity, but I’m not really sure that was necessary at all.

At least in this context, handling a lot of tabs didnt matter because he had the startup option set to open the home page, not the previous pages and he doesnt use his pc enough to use this many tabs at once
