Re: Pale Moon - What is the maximum open tabs possible to handle?
There is only one way to find out. Though, I am suspecting that given the amount of ram you have the number of potential tabs that will fit in ram is going to exceed any sort of good useablity due to your CPU being your bottleneck here. But again only one actual way to find out.
It will have other things.. What sites you open.. You will have better luck opening up thousands of about:blank tabs than opening up ones that have flickr or whatnot.
There really is no universal answer even if you come back to us with a number. I will tell you though, Pale Moon is not designed to handle thousands of tabs that is beyond spec of normal anticipated operation. Yes, it may be able to accommodate you using high numbers of tabs and there are a few who do that unwisely. But it is not with-in the design limit.

Re: Pale Moon - What is the maximum open tabs possible to handle?
You're probably going to go way outside of design scope if you intend to actually fill up that amount of memory
We know for a fact that it can handle a few thousand, but you'll run into a few limits there, mainly processor bound as Tobin indicated, also depending on what you open in the tabs. Also, administration in the browser of so many tabs is going to break eventually, since it's simply not designed to handle a huge amount of compartments.
Bottom line: we don't know. You'll have to try and see for yourself

I do 20 minimum, if ever, I can go over 3,000 without noticing. It's a pain to reduce them but if you keep at it, it can be done.Moonraker wrote:Who on earth uses or "needs" that amount of tabs open..?
If you are running a course, you can make each subject/topic in its own tab, some can be over 100 categories. One of many examples.

I'm not sure what your angle is or what you're trying to prove to yourself, but feel free to try and break your record with Pale Moon.PowerUser wrote:I don't know why people are afraid of large numbers.
If Pale Moon breaks down before then, it'll be a case of "oh well!" and if you do manage to break your record, it's a case of "cool, but otherwise not interesting"

Re: Pale Moon - What is the maximum open tabs possible to handle?
The only large number I'd be afraid of with that many tabs is the number of minutes I'd waste every day looking for the tabs I want in that 54700. I guess if you open every link in a new tab, it might serve as a nice "visual history" of how you got somewhere (especially combined with something like Tree Style Tabs) but it doesn't seem worth it to me.PowerUser wrote:I don't know why people are afraid of large numbers.
Re: Pale Moon - What is the maximum open tabs possible to handle?
I don't have anymore than 10 tabs open at a time.

There are probably hundreds of millions of reasons that people are afraid of large numbers.PowerUser wrote:I don't know why people are afraid of large numbers.

Just because you can do a thing does not mean you necessarily should do that thing. Please keep this in mind.
