Not programming per se but my sister thinks it's okay to have 300+ Chrome tabs open and just memorize the relative locations of them whenever she needs something. She's lucky she has a beefy computer.
I use the tree tab extension and just leave several hundred of tabs open and use the “open upon restart” option to open everything again. Luckily firefox has automatic tab unloading, which means it only uses about 6-8 GiB of RAM. Sadly the mobile app seems to cope less well with this method (I only have 3GB of RAM on it), it sometimes randomly crashes or refuses to open a new tab.
I also leave every firefox tab open until I run out of RAM, at which point I use the "close tabs to left" button, moving some tabs that I still want to check out to the right beforehand. On firefox, one can simply use the list all tabs button to easily navigate or search through all tabs, so no memorization is needed (or just type the title of the document in the address bar and it will just switch to the tab if you have it open).
check out tab stash extension
I might be your sister 😐
Stop that.
This is horrifying lol
High spec machines are a curse 🤔
