In addition to some amazing tab management features, recently Vivaldi introduced Two-Level Tab Stacks – the ability to display tabs on two levels. I previously wrote about my experience of using Google Chrome and how I opened many tabs only to end up with so much clutter, it wasn’t possible to work efficiently.īut that changed when I got introduced to Vivaldi and its way of managing too many browser tabs. Wow, really? Doesn’t everybody keep a lot of tabs open? Are my 40 tabs a lot of tabs? □ĭigging in a bit more, I realized that most browsers just aren’t suited to managing too many browser tabs. The majority, on the other hand, keeps open only up to 20 tabs. According to the survey, I am in a minority that keeps open 20 tabs or more. Some time ago, I came across a survey that shattered my perception of what is “too many browser tabs”. I have never thought about tab management as much as I have recently. The suspended tabs all run in a single process.Has it ever occurred to you that 1.Vivaldi browser and its legendary tab management Here's my current memory usage for Chrome: As I said before, many of my tabs are suspended.

As well, it's much more rare (in my experience) for Firefox to hang than Chrome, and its new Quantum thing is supposed to make it even more stable. I always have to go into Task Manager or htop to kill it when it hangs up. I usually run Chrome for weeks before I restart it or my computer for updates or other reasons. I'd rather not kill my entire browser just because a single tab hangs. Sometimes it takes several seconds to close. _init_ wrote:with Chrome, I've had a lot of “page not responding” dialogs that pop up and don't kill the page or anything, leaving the browser to slow down to the point where nothing is usable, not even the close button.When that happens to me (not often), clicking the close button on the tab usually works. The suspended tabs all run in a single process. ![]() ![]() You have to rebuild every time you want the latest version, and that can take a really long time depending on your hardware (and uses a lot of RAM). The only differences in Chromium is the lack of proprietary codecs (required for streaming MP3, AAC, and H.264 formats), no built in Flash Player, no tracking (usage statistics and crash logs sent to Google), no automatic updates. I tell people to use Chrome though because they are more up to date in regards to security and that is becoming a bigger issue recently.ĭarkwren wrote:Try building Chromium from source: it probably uses much less than normal Chrome does.That won't make any noticeable different afaik. Right now all the browsers are pretty close to each other in performance that it's just up to your tastes. Now Firefox is switching to multiprocess ('e10s' or ‘electrolysis’ is the code name) and that is blurring the lines a little more. Originally it was Firefox that used less, more or less because it used a single process whereas Chrome used multiple processes for better stability. Am I doing something wrong? I thought Firefox was supposed to be super lightweight compared to Chrome? After browing for a bit Firefox on a blank tab uses 320MB of RAM.I wouldn't try too hard figuring out which one uses less RAM. (Scratch AND Youtube) With Scratch and Youtube open firefox uses 430MB of RAM. (That's with Scratch forums AND Youtube open!) While watching a video Firefox uses 340MB of RAM. On Youtube home page after signing in Firefox has two processes: one using 200MB of RAM and the other using 100MB of RAM. Firefox used the while 200MB in one process while chrome was 4 processes each using ~50MB. On a blank tab Chrome and Firefox both use around 150MB - 200MB of RAM.
