    It’s stupid if what the person use tabs for is what bookmarks exist for without running the risk of losing all of them.

      Either browser saves your tabs on exit or it doesn’t. There should not be such a risk, plain and simple. If you insist there is then please provide an exact number of tabs where it starts to happen, and/or when it becomes acceptable for it to happen.

        Anytime you use a program in a way that you can’t reasonably expect to have been tested you should accept that you run the risk of hitting bugs. Ex.: no one should reasonably expect devs to test having 7k tabs from different websites open when there’s an existing feature for this type of usage that is 100% safe (bookmarks).

        When your usage is out of the norm it’s not unusual for programs to start acting weird and more often than not it’s not intended and can even come from an issue with how the hardware and software work together and it might not even be possible to fix the issue.

          70 mb is not excessive for a session file and therefore 7k tabs is not excessive. 7 million tabs would be insane I imagine. But not 7k. User proved herself by using it for years that it performs adequately.

          My point stands. If browser can lose 7k tabs it can lose as few as 7 and such bugs should be fixed.

          If you can’t name exact point between 7 and 7k where “reason” ends you have to learn more about proper programming. So you could realize that the actual limit is far from that, and there are still a lot of things to improve so all users could get benefits, not just a few.
