About a decade ago, I heard from a Chrome developer that their statistics showed that over 90% of users never used the multiple tabs feature. I was shocked at the time, but I’d be even more shocked now.
That said, users do seem to fall into two categories: single tab or a gazillion tabs, with no in between.
Well, they actually can, but it is not magic, it might not work everywhere, but it indeed involves going against website demands. There is reader view in firefox (that parses a page and gives text and images), there’s ublock-origin that alone blocks so much adds and tracking that webpages load faster, there is ‘‘i dont care about cookies’’ (that automatically selects the cookie options on your chosen option), etc, stuff that could be implemented in the browser as options for the user just like privacy settings.
It’s the websites that requires all the memory, the browser can’t magically take less memory than what a website demands.
magically? no. but, i’m pretty sure there are ways, especially if you have a thousand tabs open. which of course you do.
