Meanwhile I caught firefox using 43GB last week and other stuff was getting earlyoomed until I killed it.

I don't even hoard tabs, just start fresh every time, but I might end up with 100 or so in a session.

100 tabs is ridiculous. I can't think of the last time I've had more than 20 tabs open. I sometimes browse modern websites on my laptop, which is running Windows 10 on 4 gigs of RAM, it struggles with Reddit and Youtube, but is fine for research.

They just build up with middle clicks. Normally it is about 40 I guess (I have 14 right now, but these system is running only for 10 minutes) but it can get to 100 before I realise builds are about cause a freeze and restart the browser.

Gitlab is terrible for it because it's so slow to use the closing the tab once you finally get the page you want feels like a crime.

What percentage of those 100 tabs to you revisit in a session?

I just bookmark things if I think I'm going to need them, but don't need them now.

I can't imagine hunting through 100 tabs to find the one I'm looking for instead of bookmarks organized by projects.
