    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.

      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.

        I might have to give it a try. How is cross device sync and android support? I’ll often send a group to the mobile…

          Not available on my android device, and I don’t really use other computers, so I dunno. I think onetab is supported on both, but I haven’t used that one too much.

            That’s a bit of a deal breaker for me; I’m constantly swapping tabs from mobile to desktop… Oh well, I’ll stick with Edge for now. Might do some more research myself anyway

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

        And that’s how you use things, which is fair enough. I prefer to have an organised, ready-to-go access to commonly required resources that I can view at a glance. I have things like e-mail, calendar, various (multiple) messaging and social media resources open at all times. I also have documents and reference materials that are regularly accessed open. Books and long-form reading materials stay open at the position I’m at. Further to that, if I’m researching something it may take time for my thoughts and desires to coalesce; during that time, the primary research tabs stay open in their own group. I may have somewhere between 3 - 6 things I’m researching at a time, with varying numbers of tabs. Then there’s note-taking, coding, gaming and rewards sites. Sure, some I use as ‘bookmarks’, but not that many - most are things that are in long-term progress and use.
