Firefox doesn't actually load all tabs on startup (only the selected one) and it allows you to unload tabs, so you can be fairly efficient about it.
That said, it can easily use a couple dozen GiB after an intense research session or a few weeks of regular usage but that's manageable with even just 32G and, as I said, you can always unload tabs (or restart; effectively unloading all tabs) to reduce usage at any point.
What kind of stuff are you researching now? You seem like a kindred spirit. I just bookmark things after there get to be too many tabs as I like context switching between twenty tabs for hours and get an odd satisfaction out of not using the tab switcher.
I was researching a wrist watch for myself the past few days but I want/need an (apparently) very niche and rare complication: A timer. You'd think this should be a fairly basic feature to put into a technologically advanced watch but apparently not.
I've found that bookmarks don't really work for me because they're A. clunky to manage and B. don't retain context. I often branch off from one tab to multiple others or open a new tab next to one on the sub-topic I'm researching. It's hard to describe but it's a workflow I've gotten rather used to.
I'm aware of tree-style-tabs but haven't found the motivation to set it up yet and am a little unsure whether I want to let an add-on handle functionality so core to the browser.
its part of a website called swissmilk where you can find recipes and general information about nutrition. It's in german so maybe it helps since your account is on a .de domain :)
Yeah? Visualize the tab and what's on it, then visualize yourself clicking the X, and see it disappear. Then visualize yourself back in the tab you want to be on.
I'll be reading bedtime stories to my kid and realize my mind has wandered to a work matter, for example, and then I do those exercise.
If have too many tabs open at once, I get paralyzed.

Umm, all of them? :$
Can I make Firefox count them somehow?
Edit: Shift click to select them and then right click. 857...
Holy fucking shit. You must have so much RAM!

I try to think of tasks and issues I am thinking about as tabs, and try to remember to close them when it's not a good time to think on something.
I love this
