    Is this a Gen Z / Gen Alpha thing? My kids never close their tabs. It drives me crazy.

      They’ve never had a computer crash from having more than 5 programs open.

      Gen Z here. I had a pretty shit laptop until I got a Acer Nitro 5 four years ago. I used to have 2 GBs of memory and a Intel Centrino Duo CPU. It was my dad’s old laptop and I have installed Lubuntu 14.04 on it when I was 11 and it was how I got interest in computers

      I currently have 24 GBs of memory in my pc but i still can’t open more than 5-6 tabs without freaking out. Number goes down if I have a office program running. There’s just a buzzer in my brain that goes off when my computer reaches 4-5 gb of mem usage. But Firefox on my phone has 153 open tabs rn for some reason

        I had like 8 tabs open in Firefox on my phone and it suggested turning on an automatic close tabs feature.

      I’m 38, I don’t think I’ve ever closed a tab.

      Definitely not. People from older gens have been screaming a about it since forever.

      The other day I managed to close one of the windows that was full of tabs. Now I need to review and close the hundreds and hundreds on the other still open 2 windows. Soon™. They have been living like that for more than a year.

      No clue I am early genZ so maybe not what you had in mind but I always close my tabs. At least on PC we all know how bad mobile Browsers are about this.
