I know I'm going to get shit for this but the Edge browser isn't actually half bad, especially now with extensions. Also does 1080p in Netflix.
Follow along with the video below to see how to install our site as a web app on your home screen.
Note: This feature may not be available in some browsers.

I guess if you work remote it can be slightly different but I still don't see why you'd need all them open at once. Again, I don't see any benefit to preloading sites because I know I'll use them at some later point. This is why I have the bookmarks bar with all the important work stuff visible to me up front.
Hardly say sandboxing means jackshit when base Chrome was left unexploited this year in the very contest you mentioned.
Honestly I haven't even looked back. Firefox could very well be superior to opera, but since I switched 4 years ago, and it's be working flawlessly for me since then, I haven't had a reason to look again. If an Opera update breaks something for me, I'll give Firefox another try, but for now I just have no reason to risk losing time at work having to re-login, and reload everything.
I don't get the whole "I have to have 80+ Tabs open!" Like it's some super user status thing.
Just shows to me a messy unorganised mind that loves to wait while 80+ tabs populate when they open a browser and then moan when their machine runs out of ram.
On a bad day I may go to 9-10 tabs. Average is three to four. That's it.
There's always one...
Well here's an example. Lets say we have a problem customer at the box office that purchased tickets to our show through Groupon. Now the customer actually makes the purchase through groupon, but the Box office is using Ticketmaster, Comcast Tix, or some variant of veritix or outbox. Groupon sends a customer list to the ticketing system, who then pulls the tickets directly. All of this happens without any interaction from the box office at the venue, or our box office operations team, and really from the customer's standpoint none of it matters, they just want their "good seats".
This means trying to find the order in the Groupon merchant center which is fucking terrible. If we have multiple offers in the market, it's easier to just leave all 4 of them open all the time, otherwise I lose time opening up each one at a time. Then trying to find it in the ticketing system, which again depending on what I'm working on at the time, I may have 3 or 4 instances open as well. That's 6-8 tabs right there that i just leave open for ease of access to information, and this is something that I'm only doing 10% of the time.
The HR stuff all runs through our Intranet portal. it's just easier to have it up in case i need it. The electronic filing system runs over the browser and I use that to access our previous settlements, Box office info, contracts etc. Also, my access to Lawson also runs over a browser for when I need to access either our GL or a prior show's GL. Lawson is linked to our AP imaging system, there's another tab right there.
All of the financial stuff (Concur, BofA, Amex Vpayment, Oanda) absolutely necessary for creating payments to vendors which of course have to be reported.
This stuff doesn't start every time I start opera, but on the busy days when I know i need quick access, I just call them all up in the morning to start off with, and then I have access to them as I need them. As the run of shows wind down, or we get closer to end of day it tapers off pretty quick, but again at the start oh yeah you bet i'm hitting 15-20 tabs without even blinking.
In the touring entertainment world, decisions have to be made quickly and correctly. in order to do that, I (as part of the management) team and sometimes the techs need to be able to access a lot of information quickly. it would be great if all of it's in-house, but a lot of time it's not. That means we have to connect all the dots in our head from all these data sources which are not connected at all.
In my day job I use chrome and need to have multiple tabs open at a time, 5-15 depending on work flow. Yes it consumes a fair bit of ram, but if the 8gb in the laptop can handle it I imagine most people will be ok.While I hate seeing all of the duplicate Chrome entries in Task Manager, I have not experienced what this guy is complaining about: Google’s browser, he claims, uses so much RAM that it is practically unusable. The author urges everyone to switch to Opera, which supposedly performs flawlessly in comparison, particularly in regard to handling large numbers of tabs. Is this just a clever ad for the new update, “Reborn,” or is Opera really the right alternative? The browser was bought by a Chinese consortium last year for $600 million.
…if you like opening more than a couple tabs at once, Google Chrome is not the browser for you. Over the last few years, I have grown endlessly frustrated with Chrome's resource management, especially on MacOS. Admittedly, I open too many tabs, but I'd wager that a lot of you do, too. With Chrome, my computer crawls to complete unusability multiple times a day. After one too many times of having to go into Activity Monitor to find that one single Chrome tab is using several gigs of RAM, I decided enough was enough. I switched to Opera, a browser I had previously thought was only for contrarians.
This author writes articles on a Mac and I can't imagine why the hell he would need anywhere near 65 tabs to be productive at what he does, lol.
This is an ad for Opera.
I've been using Opera for most of the last 12-15 years. It uses the same codebase as Chrome now so I am sure that it performs very similarly.

Unused RAM is wasted RAM. Unless you're constantly being sent to the page file due to RAM usage, which shouldn't happen as most applications willingly return unnecessary cache when asked by the system, I don't see what the big deal is...
For me it it's normally a mix of work and personal, I will have 5-10 windows open each with 1-20 tabs as I look up parts and manuals I need for the day. Normally if I'm doing something like speccing out a new joystick for a control system I will have 1 window open for that with 10 different tabs to various models that I want to view. Then repeat for each type of device and it adds up lol.I don't get the whole "I have to have 80+ Tabs open!" Like it's some super user status thing.

How dare you say anything good about Edge on this forum!I know I'm going to get shit for this but the Edge browser isn't actually half bad, especially now with extensions. Also does 1080p in Netflix.
For all of you who use Vivaldi, does it have bookmark sync yet?
I mean if it doesn't (and it didn't last time I tried it), I have to question the credibility of anyone recommending it.
