I assume that it uses all the resources it can. And you use all the tabs you can. I know that I can have way way more tabs on a 24G machine than a 4G machine. I know that a beefier CPU is better able to handl lots of tabs. Some of which have horribly expensive javascript. Some of which is from the ads that they have no control over. --- Post to this mailing list talk@gtalug.org Unsubscribe from this mailing list https://gtalug.org/mailman/listinfo/talk
