No not at all. On both Windows and Macs, tabs actually use far less
memory then the corresponding number of multiple browser windows.

I have SM set to open new page in same window. opening in multiple
windows is no better than in tabs. Tabs is basically new windows with
tab stuck on it.
No, you are simply wrong. Sorry to be so blunt, but its true.
Have you checked this with the Activity Monitor running?
Lee
Yes I have. definite uptick in memory each time I tried tabs and even
more when I used multiple windows. I always have set up to open new page
in current window.
Well, I was asking Phillip, but more eyes are better, so thanks!
That is consistent with my usage. Opening multiple pages will always
use more memory, but opening them in tabs is more efficient then opening
them in new windows.
If one is using a limited system, it would be best to avoid both tabs
and multiple windows. However, on a modern machine, tabs are going to
perform better then multiple windows.
We have discussed our Mac museums already! ;)
