60+ tabs users (browser stuff)

I normally use Firefox... but it crashed quite often with 60+ tabs opened and eats ALOT of memory.

So i tried Opera... but no thanks

Then i tried chrome. It used less RAM than firefox and also never crashed so far (2 windows with 60tabs + 10 tabs).. its interface and settings / addons are nice too. However, after like 60 tabs, when i opened another few tabs fast, the browser freezer for some seconds. And altough the tab is fully loaded , i still dont see any content. just a white tab.. and after a few seconds the content is there.

Now trying: Comodo Dragon Browser. Basically chromanium but it should be more secure.

What browser do you recommend?

Guess i will try chromanium if the comodo browser sucks aswell (altough chrome-chromanium & comodo should be all the same :S ).

thx bb
@edit: 60 tabsb ecause i have all kind of stuff opened / saved for later / checking every now and then / etc
crossfire,facebook, bitfactoy, torreltleech, bitsoup, 3x threads from a car-forum, 4x chrome plugins i want to try out, 3-4 forums where i asked about some stuff (firefox,chrome based questions), some vps-providers to compare their offers (~5-8 tabs) , ~10 tabs for jobs, lifehacker,gizmodo,computerbase,android market,.....

@edit2: and one more annoying thing at all chrome-based browsers: after like 40 tabs, the tab size is so small that u can just see the icon but no text.. in firefox the tab size has a minimum limit and it wont get smaller no matter how many tabs u open :S

why do u need 60+ tabs
60 tabs?

Why?
why u have 60tabs open .....
why 60+ tabs? just open 20-30, close them, open new ones etc

e: try chrome + some addon e.g. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/amigcgbheognjmfkaieeeadojiibgbdp?hl=pl&hc=ext-pr&hcp=pr1-1
hmm thanks, will try it out

Why would you have 30 tabs open?

Aside from when you have all your porn videos cued up.
Parent
i don't know, 10 is max for me (youtube, facebook, crossfire + some other shit). but 30 is still better than 60+ !
Parent
its just lots of stuff that i check every now and then (torrent sites, news sites, tech sites) , some communitys (gaming,car & clothes related), facebook stuff and some tabs with things that i save for later (could add those to the bookmarks aswell.. but i prefer them opened as tab so i can see them all the time & get reminded.. but those are only ~2-5 tabs)
Parent
60 + tabs?!

image: dude-wtf
60 tabs? =O
okay okay i just closed all stuff that i wont rly need.. still 53 tabs... and during the last 2 hours browsing i closed 156 tabs :D
Parent
WHY THE FUCK DO YOU NEED 60 TABS ROFL

HOW ABOUT USING LESS TABS INSTEAD OF SWITCHING BROWSERS LIKE CHELSEA SWITCHES COACHES
that is the most irrelevant thing I've ever heard!
Parent
Grapefruit contains pectin, a form of soluble fiber that has been shown in animal studies to slow down the progression of atherosclerosis
Parent
I break the 10 tabs-par only when browsing for porn =))
I only break when searchin music in youtube (:
Parent
Well yeah that is another one. Opening youtube-links which to watch next.
Parent
I only do it cuz that way I can skip the commercial thingys :p I have 5tabs open now, which is still alot for me I guess. I really have no idea why someone would need that many tabs....
Parent
why the fuck do you nee so many tabs? moron
SRWare Iron is better than chrome :)
thanks but it basically has the same changes as comodo dragon.. just that comodo adds some more security features? but i might try it out anyway :)
Parent
lol just use the fucking bookmark xD

when i have around 8 tabs + 1 streaming, my computer crash ;x

Chrome all the way. Keep the addons to a minimum and you'll be fine. It's usually the addons that fuck it up.
ye i try to keep them at minimum :P
i have 18 installed

adblock plus
autopager
open link in ie tab + the button (2 extensions)
facebook sidebar chat reversion
ffixer
flashblock
history site blocker
kb ssl enforcer
kb ssl enforcer button
lastpass
secbrowsing - plugin version checker
sexy undo close tab
skipp redirect
ultimate chrome flag (could remove that)
unfriend finder
verticaltabs
yousabetubefix for chrome
Parent
holy fuck 18 is NOT a minimum

and i know you're saying you need those 60 tabs open but really use a session manager of some type to group up related ones and come back to them later

there's a reason that browsers don't handle that many tabs very well, and it's that they were never intended to

e: unfriend finder :DDDD
Parent
hmm there are 2-5 addons i could remove.. but most of them are rly stuff i need

adblock
autopager (very handy)
4 userscripts (facebook, youtube)
ssl enforcer (i love than one too)
lastpass (to sync everything with my android)
vertical tabs since the tab size gets ridicilous small afters 30+ tabs
flashblock is nice aswell
history site blocker for the porn !

hmm how exactly would that work ? i can choose which session i want to load when i run the browser? Kinda sucky if i want just 1 tab to be re-stored and have to re-start the whole browser :S

@edit: just found that and it seems nice :)

Parent

adblock plus
notscripts

oh and one script i wrote to get rid of that fucking photo theatre on facebook
Parent
what userscripts, could you post them and elaborate what they're doing for you?
Parent
ffixer - makes facebook alot better with some changes
new quakeliver ads remover
yousabletubefix (adds alot of nice options to youtube)
facebook side bad revision (get old chatbar back)
skipp redirect
Parent
use favorites or a tab/site manager with firefox I guess :S
Can someone please help me too?

I tried windows xp... after that vista.. and even windows 7 and it keeps lagging or crashing.. I have all programs openened.. for later, maybe i need them in a week or two... such as Microsoft word, excel, powerpoint, sony vegas, after effects, firefox, chrome, messenger, skype, mirc,after effects, and 500 others...

what shall i do? buy a 32gb ram pc? :|
that kind of ironic post seems to be some new trend on crossfire :> i see it in every 2nd journal.

anyway, its just all stuff that i need.. besides some of them (as i wrote.. some tabs could get bookmarked). I could also close some tabs and then use some rss-reader.. but that would be 10 tabs for a rss-reader.exe (which i think will use more ressources)

and actually half of the programs you mention are running atm :D
mirc,skype,wlm,browser,mail,torrent,myphone explorer,notepad++
Parent
what about using favorites??????
Parent
favourites = bookmarks?

i normally only put stuff into bookmarks which i might need sonehow later or are usefull.. tutorials, download sites, music stuff,... but what i have opened is smth that i use all day :S
Parent
yeah I guess..
Parent
Sorry for the irony, but seriously.. You know the answer yourself, what kind of magical solution do you expect to get here?

Firefox or any other browser eats memory alot, specially if you have some websites with flash content opened.

The solution is pretty simple. Either bookmark them and organize them if needed using the Firefox embedded tool. Or you can sort your daily websites just like i do http://i.imgur.com/NueMq.png . If you press your scroll key "down" if opens all the folder websites. You can also use the Firefox rss thing, no need to have your websites open all the time.


Start sorting your stuff. You are NOT in the android market all the time, while searching for a job, while checking crossfire and facebook at same time, while blablabla.

Plus more plugins = more slow = more memory needed. Get 8gb pc if you really need that, or divide your work using 2 browsers.
Parent
yeye i will try using bookmarks a bit more.
for the flash content i use the extension "flash blocker" which blocks all flash-content until i allow it.

android market = 2 tabs.. but ye i could bookmark them
however, the job tabs (~10 tabs) are session based tabs.. if i close them, i cant get back to them anymore (i need to do a lot of questions again to get to an overview of jobs, there i have to search them from a list and open them again). and thats with some other tabs aswell.

but also when working on some coding project or something else i will end up with 40+ tabs which i need all the time to re-read smth, copy & paste something, check for help, etc :S but i will use some session manager for that i think
Parent
Obviously you need to start using bookmarks AND sorting the most common website per folders (check my pic), you can either sort the bookmarks at firefox. 60 or whatever yo u need is just to much / non sense. Buy with more ram it may help, although it might crash from time to time....
Parent
ye that folder-bookmark thingy sounds like a good idea. never rly used bookmarks before so i will try it :)

got 4 gb ram.. firefox mostly only crashes when runnign virtualbox/games/heavy programs.

however, i think for now i will stay with the comodo dragon browser (based on chrome).
Parent
Bad idea imo. Firefox ...or chrome... are just the best, everything else is just crap based at these main browsers with less support.

And virtual machines eat alot of memory mainly so yeah , pretty normal that it crashs in such moments.
Parent
hmm chrome is based on chromanium ? And that comodo browser is aswell based on chromanium.. since chromanium is open source, they removed all the "home-calling-google" stuff (and some other annoying things) and added some security features.

but ye i will just try it out for now and see if the support/update/changes are fine :)
Parent
lul bookmarks-folder are awesome.. i can even make some "startup" folder with all the pages i always load when i run my browser (crossfire,facebook, some news & tech sites, blablabla) and then just right click that folder -> run all bookmarks in new tabs <3
Parent
Exactly :> Now firefox should add a option to close all tabs from a Folder thing.. or even close tabs by website domain.. example close all www.youtube.com/ *.*
Parent
ye that would be nice aswell...

+ i found another extension that helps me to close A LOT of tabs.. page monitor. instead of having the tab opened all the time and refresh it from time to time, i just add it to page monitor and close the tab. as soon as someone reply's to me or any other changes occur, page monitor will notify me :o
Parent
DID OVER 9000 TIMES :<
Parent
try vid_restart
Parent
gonna try! brb :DDDDD
Parent
ever heard of bookmarks rofl?
try out chrome it's clean and fast for me, I am using it for daily web browsing, but somehow I cant login to my bank account on it so I am using Firefox for payments and stuff -
got like 28 tabs open every day but 60+ is really alot man :S
60 Tabs? Dude you need to learn how to let go.
pic or it didnt happen !
just ran chrome.exe so 90% of the tabs arent loaded (only the first few tabs.. then its just that grey icon :P ) .. 47 opened, 200 recently closed

image: chrome

Parent
i often end up with 60 tabs aswell

stuff thats interesting and i just leave it open to read afterwards:D-
60tabs? you obviously never heard of rss feeds, eh.
Here's an idea. Close down 59 of your 60 tabs, ctrl+h .. problem solved.
its alive ...
Parent
and more awesome than ever before.
Parent
Get more RAM? It's really cheap these days.
This might be the dumbest post Iv seen all week.
Maybe he doesnt know you can navigate around a website without opening a new tab?
Parent
didnt know that asking for people's recommend choice of browser is so dumb :>
Parent
pro tip, Google Reader google.com/reader

then you don't need to have engadget/gizmodo/whatever other site you keep a tab open for and can read them all via just 1 tab with the actual content you're looking for very easy to see and immediately in view.

I follow around 50 different sites via RSS and read around 30,000 items (site postings) each month with relative ease.

wouldn't be able to do that by keeping the sites open in tabs and constantly flicking to the tab and refreshing the page :X

RSS was essentially created for exactly what you are doing.

Most forums even have RSS feeds for new threads. Crossfire has RSS feeds for journals/forums/news etc and even PMs
great stuff didn't know about it :) thanks!
Parent
Good idea.. i normally used some rss-reader program but google reader seems to be even better :)
Parent
dont have 5 times same site open, and i guess all sites change every minute so u have to keep them all open.

cool guy btw " i need more then 60 tabs" while i only use 2-3 at the same moment =D
u haven't been reading anything in that journal ? :/
Parent
i did but its bullshit
Parent
if u use 60+ tabs 24/7 its ur own fault that it crashes.. mine crashes like once a year.
i once opened 100 tabs in 5 seconds


then closed them all
bad joke
you surely need every single one of that 60 tabs ;D
