19 tabs opened in chrome with 6gb ram? Are you sure? Last time I used my friends pc with 4gb ram and it froze after I opened 12 tabs. Ram was fully used at 7 tabs.

The laptop I retired four months ago (Asus 1215b) has 4gb ram and an AMD E-350 CPU (slightly better than an Atom back in 2011). Still I can open 100+ tabs in Firefox (on Linux).

I would love a screenshot with 100+ opened tabs in firefox on a 4gb machine, sorry I am skeptical about that. Not just empty tabs but tabs with some website loaded. I have 3 tabs opened with some websites right now and it's already eating up 1gb of RAM. https://cl.ly/2y3k0I1T2i09
