I'm skeptical! I'd be interested to see a screen recording of that happening successfully!

I'm skeptical too LOL It's probably why I lost 'em several times in the past, but not in a good while.

I have yet to build the new PC in my specs and am on a new cheap laptop ATM, but I stand by what I said.

I'm probably already at several hundreds now on this laptop. I don't know if there's an easy way to count tabs and forgot how I know I had 1000+ in the past. If not, I for sure had between 500 and 1000.

So again, I'm happy you don't need a plugin anymore to recall all tabs and that it has become more solid.

In theory it should not be that hard either, especially as the tabs are just showing up but are not actually loading until you click on one.

Please explain how you go about that. Do you load 500 - 1000 tabs then slowly browse through them all!?!?!? You must have a lot of interests!!!
I'm only interested in elevenforums and my mail! I wouldn't know where the hell to start with 1000 tabs open!!!

Download Netscape Navigator - free - latest version

Was superseded by Firefox. Its very outdated and full of unpatched security vulnerabilities.

Qtwebkit: The only Webkit based browsers still available for Windows are Falkon and Otter.

Apple halted its Windows Safari around 2011. The installer is still on the Internet but the browser will never be updated.

I was hoping to hear from some who have tried Arc Browser..., I tried it a few times..., I just can't get into it, maybe it's just what you're used to!
It's similar to Sleipnir 6

I've been doing some reading on Arc, and it has a couple of cool features, like auto file download renaming, and auto tab renaming, that seems like they might be a win. Also, that easy profiles and the Split View - being able to view multiple tabs side by side, I think is a really good feature that all browsers should have (without having to decouple individual tabs from the main browser interface). And Native Profiles *and* a separate Spaces feature, too.

The biggest issue I can see is that there are a lot of reports of it going stupid (particularly on Windows installs). After installation and a use or a couple of uses, you go to run it and it acts like it is not even there. I suspect that it might be a failure in an automatic update procedure, but I'm only just now trying it.

As for Tab Grouping - Chrome does it very well, with the ability to not only group, but save (and hide completely from the tab bar). But, you may have to enable a Chrome flag or two to get the new functionality (I did it manually, so I've had it for a while, IO don't know if it is now on by default or not).

On Firefox, my browser of choice, I use Container Tab Groups - it brings the mobility of tab grouping and takes it to a whole new level, with each group being isolated from the others, allowing for multiple unique logins to the same site, and has one major advantage over Edge's tab grouping, in that it only loads the pages as you actually view them, instead of refreshing every page in every group every time you open the browser.

Which is how I have 172 tabs 'open' (but grouped, and thus not actually refreshed) in Firefox:

I use Firefox in Windows 11 as Default. Opera in MX Linux 23.2 AHS and SlimJet in Arch Linux.

Firefox for my daily websites.
Brave for Funsites and other Stuff like that.

A Firefox user has kept 7,400+ browser tabs alive for two years

In a surprising turn of events, a Firefox power user managed to keep over 7,400 browser tabs alive for more than two years. The user has plans to keep them open in the foreseeable future.

Guud Lurd!!!
I haven't got time for 7 tabs, let alone 7400!!!

I think power user is a misprint.
It does begin with p though.
