@Ollie Nope, that was accurate. I went from about 3,800 tabs to a bit more than 1,500 in my primary profile. That doesn't count the four other profiles I currently had/have open or the other browser. :;
I end up cleaning up tabs from time to time, as I don't do that great of a job of making sure that I close all of the ones I used when investigating or working on something. There often seems to be just a little more that should be done, so I leave the tabs open, only to transition onto something that's become more important, and then the next thing, and the next, etc.
When closing a large number of tabs like that, it usually takes Firefox a bit of time to do housekeeping. I also often end up restarting the browser in order to start from a computationally clean state, but keeping the remaining tabs.
@Makyen That's a colossal number, for me. I rarely reach into a triple-digit number of tabs these days. I can't fathom finding my way around four figures. How on earth do you manage?
@Ollie In Firefox, it does get a bit unwieldy at times, but there's a decent search function for open tabs and organizing into multiple windows helps considerably (and various features to organize tabs within a window, which used to be substantially better prior to cutting over to WebExtensions).
I wouldn't want to even attempt having a similar number of tabs in Chrome, as Chrome doesn't handle a large number of tabs in a window well (tabs become inaccessible form the tab bar after a certain point) and Chrome tends to have even background tabs be serious memory hogs. I do have some Chrome profiles which use a substantial number of tabs, but it's quite a pain to run into the UI issues with too many tabs per window.
And yeah, I try to keep the truly massive numbers in Firefox due to what Makyen said with Chrome handling it badly.
unfortunately, Firefox's JS execution speed is just a bit slower and so I have to use Chrome for moderating
It's not enough slower to make a real difference in normal browsing, but when you're running 20+ userscripts on a single page...it tends to either break the rendering process or become really, really slow.
@Mast The trick is to restart the browser whenever you need background tabs killed. I believe there are extensions that do this, but it also works well to run Firefox Nightly and just hit the update button whenever you need your RAM back... :-)
@Mast Yeah, I've had the number of open tabs up in that range. For me, Firefox can start to get a bit bogged down after 3.5k, or so. That is, however, likely to be that it starts running into system limitations (memory/CPU) as non-active tabs continue to consume resources. This can particularly be a problem if you use browser extensions which don't behave well (e.g. that use considerable resources per tab and/or have performance hogs/memory leaks; an example of such a misbehaved extension would be one extension I looked at for answering an SO question where the extension loaded 67 different content scripts into every tab.).
I haven't intentionally tried to stress test Firefox with a huge number of tabs, but the usability limit is very dependent on the availability of CPU and RAM, which is, of course, not surprising.
