How many tabs do you have open in your browser.

Ive noticed closing a window and then reopening it saves some ram, assuming you don’t click on every new tab you just reopened. Restarting your computer works best.

Sometimes a memory upgrade helps, however that said I have a Raspberry Pi setup with 8gb of RAM that allows me to keep multiple tabs open without pushing memory requirements to an extreme. If I'm not mistaken Raspberry Pi OS is a variant of Debian optimized for that hardware.

Right now, I only have two.

I've got 4 open right now. One's just youtube and the other 3 are just guides for something I'm playing so I don't have to keep going back to the individual pages.

[Midnight Insight 162]

I have 18 open right now, I think I have trouble finishing what I start.

of these tabs, I declare this one my favourite. It is from a naughty comic so I'll spoiler.

the worst tabs are the outlook tabs. those tabs are not being opened. they contain boredom and/or pain

[Snow 7,797]

Right now just three
MLP F and two YouTube tabs

I could use my Pi computer for general use, if it's not for gaming it'll work. But I'll need to keep the tabs opened to a minimum, 4 or less. I could have more open but if I am going to be using it for music as well, that's not going to be a safe option. But it will be energy efficient.

It's fine for me actually. Mostly because I don't actually click on every single tab on every bootup and just continue from whatever tab I'm on. (I don't hibernate/sleep my PC).

It's a huge mix of everything under the sun, most of it involving research that I completely forgot about. If I actually clicked on every single one then that would definitely push memory usage up the roof.

IIRC Windows takes up a lot of memory in general the more that's readily available, correct me if I'm wrong on that though.

I do need to figure out what's actually important and what's not. Bookmarks, or maybe dedicated spreadsheets for really important stuff whenever I research down a rabbit hole (in LibreOffice).

But really I should be setting up dual booting. Windows for audio work (because all the software I use is very much not guaranteed to work properly at all on Linux, and I paid good money for some of it) and ofc Linux for everything else.

Some other time though.

 

Anyways...

I "accidentally" got 100 more tabs since then.

4. This one, a YT tab with music, and two ebay tabs.

One lone browser to wrap up the weekend  

[Xada 462]

Only one right now, since i am on mobile.

[Catpone Cerberus 23,697]

I take with open we mean active, and for that, currently it would be 25 (though 5 will close soon). 
However, I do have lot of closed tab-groups, and if I were to open all of those at the same time, I'd easily go over 100  

[Mlaatr fan2 226]

I don't and physically cannot use a computer well. But I have 46 open on my phone.

2, the 2nd to view the local weather

[Tao 8,250]

4  tabs normally for me given I like to read between shows or docs.  

[Night Sky 352]

I average 3, seldom 2, never 1, often too many.

[Astralshy 27,934]

At the moment I've 8 tabs open but I can achieve very high numbers with this :>

[ZiggWheelsManning 11,630]

Just one in activity and good needs for a good night.

A healthy and balanced 5 c:

1 tab after dealing with some quick cleaning
