@glyph @ancoghlan they aren't bookmarks, though. they're a todo list. and anything that goes into a bookmark folder vanishes forever because i don't see it

it's not really about the number of open tabs though, it's that firefox has https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tree-style-tab/ and chrome does not (and cannot, because chrome's ui has no sidebar to put it in, so the best you can do is a clunky overlay)

Tree Style Tab – Get this Extension for 🦊 Firefox (en-US)

Download Tree Style Tab for Firefox. Show tabs like a tree.

@glyph @dotstdy maybe it has something to do with that monkey paw i was holding when i said "i wish KHTML were more feasible to use"
Show threadeeveeDec 26
@ancoghlan @glyph this is not feasible in chrome.

@ancoghlan @glyph i currently have 1637 tabs open, though the vast majority are unloaded

@glyph @dotstdy firefox 4 had out-of-process plugins as well, three months later

@glyph @dotstdy does ubuntu just update snaps in the background without even asking, is that what's happening here

@glyph @dotstdy fwiw i don't expect anything complex to enjoy being updated while running, especially if it does some fancy-pants dynamic multiprocessing thing. i'd be surprised if chrome consistently fares well, but i've never tried that either. and i sure wouldn't want to update, like, KDE without a reboot

@rakslice @glyph fair enough but it sure doesn't make for good Opticsâ„¢

@glyph @dotstdy yeah that was annoying. i can't gauge how much it might've factored in globally since Most Peopleâ„¢ seem to have like, three tabs open at a time

mozilla was between a rock and a hard place there i think, since electrolysis could not avoid breaking virtually every extension, and that ecosystem was a big thing people liked firefox for. chrome and ie8 had nothing to break

@glyph @dotstdy i genuinely have no idea what happened. but given the enormous grassrootsy push it took to get firefox significant market share, and then chrome jumping from 0% to 25% in under three years despite having a pitch mainly consisting of "it's a bit faster i guess", i don't have any other real explanation beyond observing that google is/was a dominant search engine and virtually everyone looks at their website(s) every day
