The Browser Holy Wars

I have seven tabs open regularly. On each of my two windows.

Who closes tabs?

making gamez

One of my friends has dozens of tabs open all the time.

I use Firefox, though lately it’s been lagging a lot and it’s kinda pissing me off, but I’m too lazy to re-log into everything and refind all my favourite pages with Chrome. Also I like being able to open up a favourite webpage in 1 click.

I have 9 open right now.

Facepunch, IMDB, Black Mesa, Operation Black Mesa, Wikipedia, IMFDB, A Picture, Youtube, TV Guide.

Nah you gotta go two main one for browsing and randomly checking on less important/active things for you. Anyways, I play games pretty often and despise the Xfire in-game browser, but I have to use it.

Sometimes 7 is not enough for me. Right now I have 8 and I’ve just closed one :stuck_out_tongue:

i usually have 6 at the very least

Currently I have 17 tabs open. I usually don’t close any until there’s a break in the browsing action.

EDIT: Also, I’m on Chrome but I use Firefox for certain plug-ins and sites that aren’t compatible with Chrome.

I always try to keep the numbers of tabs open to a minimum. Usually, I always have at least 2 tabs opened for my regular forums and a third one for miscellaneous browsing. At max, I have about six tabs at any given time.

yall r crazy rn i have 3 black mesa tabs open a tumblr one and something for 3ds max and thats the least ive had all day

Someone correct me if I’m wrong. Is Chrome the only browser that isolates each tab to its own subprocess, so when you close a tab you get the memory back without having to shut down the entire browser? (I’m a newb at shit like that) I’ll occasionally mouse3 open a slew of tabs, but I’m not running anything else when I’m doing that usually, so the point is moot.

chrome uses a separate copy of the same process for every tab plus the plugins and UI, it frees all the ram when you close a tab but the reason it doesn’t eat memory like IE/FF is because it’s based on a browser made for the mobile platform

You don’t need separate process to get the memory associated with a tab back. If you close a tab, the browser will free the memory associated with it. The separated process thing just helps in performance and freezes.

Internet Explorer 9, if it aint broke don’t fix it

Guys

Opera

Opera is crashy for me.

u so hipster, vanilla.

Opera is the redheaded stepchild of browsers.

…only it is…

Firefox right now, rest of my family use IE. They refuse to install anything else. Their excuse for this…
