Firefox Power User Keeps 7,400+ Browser Tabs Open for 2 Years

    Maybe with tab unloading Firefox doesn’t use a ton of resources for a billion tabs. But my 6 core Mac mini chugs with the way I browse the net. A freshly loaded session vs a “well used” one is like 20% CPU and 16+ gigs of ram. Maybe a fully specced out Mac Pro wouldn’t notice but this 8th Gen. i5 cries in pain.

      There was a time when my computers would beg me for a mercy kill, but these days, not so much.
