Rookie numbers tbh.

That's barely two projects that I won't event finish worth of research.

If I want to keep a site longer than a day I bookmark it. I have no clue how anyone can cope with this many tabs, it's like an email backlog but for your browser.

So from a security mindset, this is a nightmare. This person must be a paid plant for Big Cross-Site-Tracking

im a scrub with just around 1k and opening and closing my browser a few times a week.

This makes me feel good about my 300+ open tabs😅

I use Tab Stash if I'm about to close/restart the browser or I changed the focus of my research, but if I don't wanna lose some keywords or something, I prefer to use KNotes (or any sticky notes) and write why some keywords are important and their context, so I don't have to maintain too many open tabs. Just yesterday I had like 15 tabs and was overwhelmed lol

And here am I, getting twitchy the moment the tab size shrinks. I can't imagine having so many tabs open.

It's bad enough my brain already does that by itself

how quickly did his or her ram melt?

The point is, it didn't. Tabs do not take memory space unless you actively interact with them in Firefox.
