    My daughter has the same mental problem. You should hear her when I recommend closing a few tabs when she calls me for “my computer is so slow!”.

      In firefox there’s an extension that suspends tabs that haven’t been active for a while. I guess that chrome has something similar.

      In firefox as well, the vertical tab organizer is very helpful for people that use tabs as informal bookmarks.

        Firefox does that natively now, AFAIK. Also, a popular Chrome extension that did the same changed hands and turned to malware a while back, just FYI.

          I think the native version only unloads when the device is low on memory whereas the extension just does it all the time.
