I had hoped that the Chromium model of one process per page would make this sort of thing more visible. But lets see, my FF has about 100 tabs (down from about 400 last month)

I had many colleagues at RH who did this. It terrifies me. I currently have 8 and consider that a lot.
Then again, my personal inbox has 2 unread. I'd like to get back to zero soon. But my SO's has something like 14000 unread. I think I made a small terrified noise aloud when I installed an email client on her phone and saw the size of the number....
As I said to my colleagues:
Bookmark! Use bookmarks! Tabs are not bookmarks! Do not leave something open just because you intend to go back to it someday...
Bookmarks are insufficient. I also have hundreds of tabs. Now, what I would like is a page (could be another program) that displays (possibly frozen, or refreshed not fast, say once per hour) each tab in a small picture with readable text, so that I can remember what page has what I need so that I can open it. It would need to have some searchable text. Now, "pocket" does something like that. Yes, my FF has hundreds of tabs, but it only renders automatically when FF starts *one* tab per window. I have to click in other tabs to load them - which I don't.
If I tried converting from FF to Chromium my machine would grind to a halt, load factor go up to three digits.
Yup!
Does Chromium try opening EVERYTHING while FF doesn't? It seems so.
I think so.
But Chromium handles some pages quite differently. If I visit Walmart.ca with FF I can't see prices, but I can if I use chromium.
I see prices in my FF: https://www.walmart.ca/en/electronics/ipad-tablets/N-2428?icid=home%20page_C... https://www.walmart.ca/en/ip/rca-android-tablet-rct6973w43/6000197169006 49.98 CAN (I don't see/remember how to type or compose a dollar or can dollar symbol)
Yes. This is why the recently-announced shift by Microsoft is bad news.
what did they say? I didn't notice. Just a link suffices ;-)
Basically Mozilla is now the only thing keeping us from an all-Webkit WWW. :-(
