Make a list of websites open in tabs when it happens to see if
there are common ones that are always there when you have the
issue.
Good idea. For posterity so's I don;t forget:
- gentoo home page
- one or more readthedocs sites (especially docs.ansible.com)
- 1 or more jira pages (work stuff)
- 1 or more confluence pages (work stuff)
- a local gitlab site
- 1 or more python html apps for, errr, usenets stuffs
- 1 or more python apps running in flask (work stuff)
I'm using Chrome with often more than 50 tabs open - without
performance problems. But I had to switch Chrome to simple HTTP cache
(chrome://flags/#enable-simple-cache-backend) to get that. Some tabs
take more than 1 GB of memory after a while. But only those tab become
sluggish, all others are unaffected. And I do not block any scripts
(just the usual performance killers like ads and tracking scripts, done
with Ghostery). I cannot believe that Firefox is so much worse at this?
Oh, I can believe it all right. Firefox is a bloated monster. The devs
keep refactoring it to get rid of bloat, but it's a lot like emptying a
lake with a teacup.
same with bind, open|libreoffice, bash, gcc ...
If Chrome isn't a option for you, maybe try Vivaldi (it's based on
Chromium and said to be very fast, tho for me it starts much slower
than Chrome).
Using Chrome isn't really a problem. I can use anything I feel like (no
overlord here!. More correctly: the overlords that do exist are
ineffectual when confronted with a determine sysadmin)
The problem is that this 52 year old is tired of learning knew workflow
and retraining muscle memory for reasons of just because.
He's happy to learn python (useful), learn ansible (very useful) but not
chrome as the everyday browser (meh)
