May have been a bit more interesting if you had tried the same with IE7 and Opera 9 to show us the limits as well as the memory consumption of these 2 browsers - would also make it on the front page of Digg and probably Slashdot as well.
I will try to do my best until tomorrw with the same sites Regards P.S. I think firefox it will be most memory eater ... but I think in IE7 I will not open 266 URL's Anyway I will try !
waoh! 266 sites opened in firefox at the same time and still the Memory usage is just 50% which is comparatively low I would never try such experiments even opening 10 Sites at a time is difficult here
Until 150 sites firefox worked very well, after ~150 I started have some "lag" and at 266 site I cannot switched to another tab ... but the site "currently" opened worked quite well. Anyway I saved all that sites as "My Home Page" and it takes aprox 10 minutes to load all pages on a 1Mbit shared connection Regards
Brennan Not necessarly. but is becoming very very slow Freelance_GD it's just a benchmark I will start on opera soon Regards
Ok .... I tried the same thing in opera ... and I was dissapointed. The tab management is worse in comparasion with Firefox. Anyway it seems "internaly" is working quite well Anyway more details here: 100 sites opened in opera
