Yeah mine starts to slow down when the tabs become so small I can't even make out a webpage logo.

[-] KickMeElmo@sopuli.xyz 52 points 9 months ago

488 open tabs in Firefox, no slowdown. Get on my level.

[-] henfredemars@infosec.pub 17 points 9 months ago

I think at this point your browser simply gives up at trying to keep them all loaded at the same time.

They all do that after some number short of a dozen tabs. Oh well.

[-] tyler@programming.dev 11 points 9 months ago

For a long time I would have over a thousand open in FF. Open tabs aren’t the problem, it’s the sites you’re on. But chrome definitely can’t handle as many open tabs as ff though.

These are my emotional support 200 chrome tabs

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 20 points 9 months ago

23? Those are rookie numbers. I once had the same question from my wife and when I looked at her computer she had 4 different browsers open, with at least 100 tabs in each one.

[-] Poem_for_your_sprog@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

I try to close my tabs when I start getting a scroll bar.

[-] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 18 points 9 months ago

23 is a lot?

I have like 30 foefox windows with each running 30 tabs... Granted, i use a process manager that automatically kills tabs that are not used to conserve resources, but still. 23 is nothing

23? Amateur..

This is a thing with android phones, for a while my parents didn't know every time they open a link it makes a new tab in Chrome and going back wouldn't close it, so their browsers would become full of tabs they haven't checked in years lol.

[-] jawa21@lemmy.sdf.org 8 points 9 months ago

I don't know about Chrome, but Firefox mobile has a feature that will auto close tabs after a specified time. Much easier than closing them manually.

[-] ichmagrum@feddit.de 11 points 9 months ago

lol, 23

I did install an extension that unloads unused tabs faster, though.

[-] Dagnet@lemmy.world 10 points 9 months ago

Rookie numbers. I had to swap to Vivaldi so I could tabstack and use workspaces, I don't even know how many tabs I have in total

Or there's an add on called one tab that collapses all the open tabs into one page with links to what was open

[-] MachineFab812@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 9 months ago

Only reason I stay under 99 on Firefox on my phone is that after that it switches to an infinity symbol and Firefox does start getting derpy after say ... 120ish?

Every now and again, I go through them and references get bookmarked, items I want wishlisted, and videos I meant to watch either watched then or downloaded to watch when I'm offline.

Speaking of all that, does anyone know of a good vendor-agnostic wishlist? There's quite a few pages I keep open because those sites don't have wishlist functionality, and amazon, newegg and others treat manual additions like insane gibberish.

[-] Gondolaaaa@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

I might or might not have 120 tabs open in Vivaldi

[-] bali10050@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

Is this a cultural thing for vivaldi users? I only know one guy irl who uses vivaldi, he usually has around 500 tabs open.

[-] ClopClopMcFuckwad@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

My mother who was unable to figure out how to use bookmarks.

[-] The_wild_card@lemmy.today 3 points 9 months ago

~~Chrome~~ firefox

[-] MataVatnik@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

My computer couldn't handle more than 3 chrome tabs

[-] aRegularNero@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

I have this interaction on a weekly basis as an IT support tech.

[-] son_named_bort@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

I'm surprised she's still not on IE with all the toolbars installed.

Depends on whether you have RAM Saver on in Chromium whether it'll be slow or not
