Maybe it's just laziness on my part, but I do tend to find that that Firefox running with 20-30 tabs, plus Docker plus a bunch of other apps (inc. Electron based ones...) eats up my 16GB of RAM quite easily.

I really could do with a laptop with 32GB of RAM.

It's easy for me to get Firefox to 200-300 tabs territory, and not that hard to get it to 2000-3000. I really wish my 8GB RAM wasn't soldered in :(

Thankfully, Firefox somewhat manages to work despite that. Chromium dies very quickly.

How on earth would you do that, and... why? How do you even remember what all those tabs are for?

With tabs of the left side, awesomebar and no ridiculous Chrome-style tab shrinking, it's not that hard. Why? It just happens, especially when researching and opening lots of tabs in the background. It's a workflow that works well for me.

Meanwhile, PC laptops are now available with 128GB of RAM.

Talk to me about the battery life. Life is about tradeoffs.

But then you have to use a PC.
