I just accidently pressed ctrl-T and got a tab in it. Am I the last

No SM couldn't thank goodness.
I don't even use tabs in browser for SeaMonkey or in FF. The only
thing its good for is wasting memory as each tabbed item takes up
memory.
Tabs use less memory than new windows.
MUCH Less memory than a new window though, fwiw.
But your only viewing each window one at a time. and it replaces in
memory the previous window's contents.
<lol> You have a cite for that? I think you are wrong, and that each
window uses its own separate memory that is not freed until the window
is closed.
Its like a slide show. you completely replace the content in one
window with the content in another window.
<chuckle!> If that were true, how come I can see the content in both
windows at the same time, one beside the other? If one of the windows
is playing a movie/video, how come the video continues to play when I
have another open window beside it?
In tabs your saving the content as a separate instance. when you have
more than two tabs in memory that's a big drain on the RAM.
Oh c'mon. I currently have one window with nine tabs open and there's
nothing wrong with my RAM.
Then the hard drive comes into play and drags everything down waiting
for the swaps. (unless you have one of those solid state devices).
Even that drags the SSD down eventually causing its demise at shorter
interval.
And these final sentences? You're making stuff up, Phillip.
well if the window for the new item opens doesn't close the old one it
sure replaces the contents of the old.
