The feature is called Tab Unloading, and weirdly enough they made it not easy to access despite its usefulness.
You basically have to type about:unloads in the address bar and hit enter. If you then click on “Unload”, it will put the least used tabs to sleep. If you keep clicking that button until it’s greyed out, you’ll have unloaded all your tabs from memory.
This feature is handy if you want to temporarily switch to something that is memory hungry without having to close your 100 tabs.
Just close unused tabs smh
Can’t understand people who’re juggling 100s of tabs
That’s fine, do what works for you. I usually have 50+ tabs open, sometimes >100. I’m a software dev, so I’ll typically have the following:
When I finish a project, I’ll close everything and start it all over again. I basically use tabs as a mixture of to-dos and bookmarks, but only for things I need in the short term.
My personal computer usually only has 20 tabs or so, mostly with gaming wikis or shopping pages.
It works well for me.
Especially for school, I would have 10 to 15 tabs open per research rabbit hole. With lots of different assignments due, I’d have maybe 3 or 4 of these going at a time. It’s much easier to keep them open than to bookmark them and try to find them later.
I just say eh this one is important but I can’t rn so I’ll deal with it later. Anyway, 60 tabs waiting for me on FF Android. Idk how much I tabs are stashed on PC lol. ADHD struggles are real
Personally I use simple tab group that allow you to separate tabs into groups that you can open in different windows. It’s extremely useful but it means sometimes if you switch between multiple tab groups you might have a lot of tabs open, but using this would allow you to majorly mitigate that problem.
(i had over 2000 earlier)
Or use oneTab.
They cannot juggle 100 tabs.
Simple as that
Its not possible to manage for anyone.
Theyre just too dumb to close them
Never have I been so offended by something I 100% agree with
This, if you want to act on something later, just create a bookmark and set a reminder, act on what you need, then close and move on, don’t clutter your browser and your head.
Usually, i open one window for each task, so i don’t get a lot of unrelated content mixed up and loose focus. I rarely need more than 1~5 tabs.
