Firefox, the main reason I use it instead of chrome is its tab management.

I work with +100 tabs all the time, and Firefox just manages it way better (both management and RAM consumption).

if Chrome were to ever update their tab management to be Firefox-alike, I'd probably switch.

I can't stand having more than 1tab open if it's not super important/I need it right away. Lol 100tabs.. That must be exaggerated!! (At least I hope so!)

I use Google Chrome for speed. My 16GB RAM can take easily 30+ tabs. But I usually only need 10

 

EDIT: I tried it with 50 open tabs with all a different youtube video open. This was the result: yWJdiyK.png

 

I'm suprised it didn't take as much as expected.

TBH used to use Chrome but the information collection, constant background running despite me disabling it, and RAM intensive usage made me switch to a modded Firefox which honestly runs a lot smoother and better than most would think.

I am working on A LOT of different things at the same time, closing tabs is no option, because I can't remember every solution/task for everything I am doing. Favoriting them is also not an option as I'll just leave them sitting there forgotten :p

That is because you loaded 1 same domain which uses the same skin/scripts on every other page it generates. If you have that amount of tabs all different websites, it would preload everything into the ram, causing it to use WAY more, and also not every website it optimised as youtube, which also plays a big role in that subject :p

LOL ya. I end up just either using bookmark bar... or since google remembers everything if i type like 2 letters into the search bar it pops up what i need.. and I'll have what I need up in 1second :p

 

I would go crazy if I had a browser like @mapper posted

I'm the oddball here and I use Opera, I ran through pretty much all browsers and Opera along the years has been the most reliable for me.

 

On a sidenote to all others that really like Firefox but complain that it is extremely slow nowadays, you can try Waterfox, which is a fork of Firefox, but optimized for speed.
