I tend to have ~10,000 tabs because I obsessively fail to clean up. But it never takes much memory or cpu, my PC isn't amazing yet Firefox is always lightning quick.

I've never used the discard or merge windows features though, I can see why those might cause issues. I assume these two functions just aren't optimised for so many tabs.

One addon I might recommend to help keep numbers down is Duplicate Tab Closer, which has options to specify how similar tabs can be to be considered duplicates, and also will detect across all open windows if desired.

I assume if this were even 1% winnable that Epic Games would've done this long ago

It's an endless arms race, not an infallible solution. There'll be another addon to block server side infected ads too.

Call a mechanic, or if you're sure it's dead, call a scrapyard with a truck.

My comrades on Lemmy, though sometimes insular, are some of the friendliest, most supportive people I've ever known online.

Those lanthanides... are we not terming a lethal radiation dose as rectal damage?? Or are you assuming an ideal isotope?

It's like nationalisation except for private companies

Honestly, IRC was a very functional, easy, free, low-resource and privacy friendly chat protocol and I don't really see why it got left behind. If you wanted image/ file support that could really be implemented client and/or server side.

You can't trust any of it to be totally secure, it's effectively impossible. But, this is true of all software, at least open source is being audited and scrutinised all the time (as demonstrated).

All you can do is follow best practices.

Good post, Google cache was the only useful thing about that site and I assumed they got rid of it

Even though we don't use it on this instance, I do find the up vote and down vote counts the most interesting and transparent
