One tab for pale moon11/23/2023 I haven't even bothered to figure out which is the best adblocker. I have put ZERO effort into make Firefox run faster, unless you count running AdBlock. Regarding OP's complaints, opening a new tab take imperceptible time, a new window is about half a second (only marginally slower than notepad), and switching tabs can be done several times per second. ![]() Running multiple YouTube windows at once seems to be bad for uptime. Restarts used to be a lot less frequent, and a lot faster, before work required me to keep two slack clients open. I do find that I need to restart my browser every few hundred tab open/close cycles, which takes under 30 seconds (just did the restart, that dropped RAM use to 1.3GB, but it'll get back up to 1.9 pretty soon). If I freak it out by doing a bunch of flipping through dormant tabs, I can spike CPU pretty good as it does layout on fifty tabs at once, but who cares, I don't do that. Stock Firefox 50 (32bit), untweaked with no relevant add-ons (well, except AdBlock Plus), Windows 10, just over 400 tabs open, under 10% CPU, under 2GB of RAM (on a 16GB machine). Including several active fancy SPAs, like gMail and two copies of Slack, a gDocs or two, sometimes the godawful work LMS. Rather than assume everyone is suffering just like you, assume that other people either a) don't behave the way you do, or b) have found a way to fix the problem.Ĥ00 tabs. I promise you - if everyone around the world right now had the problem the author was having, it would have been solved. I find it frustrating when people post these articles as if everyone has this problem, and don't provide enough details as to their setup so that people can help them fix it. And it has tab groups so that my current group has only about 8 tabs in it, and the other groups are sorted by topic. ![]() And it doesn't reload every page when I quit and restart my browser - it only loads a tab when I click into that tab. It's sitting at ~5% of CPU and 450MB of RAM. This is exactly how I'm using Firefox, right now - 273 tabs open. In Opera, I would let tabs stay open for months without having any impact on my machine’s performance. But when your browser is fast, you just don’t tend to close tabs which you haven’t dealt with. What would you do today if you opened a link and saw a long article which you don’t have time to read right now, but want to read later? You would save a link and close the tab. Working with a hundred tabs in Opera was much easier back then than working with ten in today’s Safari or Chrome. ![]() You may ask: why would a sane person want a hundred open tabs, how would you even manage that? Well, Opera has had a great UI for that, which nobody has ever matched. In Opera, I could have a hundred open tabs, and it didn’t care, it worked incredibly fast on the hardware of its era, useless today. But I remember the times when we had the amazing Opera browser.
