This was the last thing I actively used chrome for, time to fully switch over I guess now that I can translate my Russian tracker.

    I just use brave browser when I must do casting. It works fine, you do have to enable it though. they call it “media router” or something like that in the settings. VLC also lets you cast to chromecast so there is a protocol for non-google apps, not sure why firefox never implemented it.

    I wish I could leave chrome, but FF can't keep up with me. I've been trialing FF across multiple systems and OS's and it's the same across them all, around 100-150 tabs it gets unstable, uses way more RAM than Chrome and then eventually crashes

    I can have literally hundreds upon hundreds of tabs in Chrome.

    150 tabs??? What the hell are you doing on your browser?

    Interesting, I found chrome to be worse with a lot of tabs open. Not much worse though, I think they are both bad. I started using OneTab with FF and it made things a lot smoother. Easy way to save specific windows with a lot of tabs until I need it again later.

    Now I only use about ten active windows with 4-50 tabs each lol

    Idk man lol I was testing FF to try to get off Chrome and I tested it on multiple Win10 and MacOS computers (Physical and VMs) and it was pretty much the same across

    Although Chrome seems to get weird once you cross the 600 tab barrier, but having a 600 tab "limit" vs <200 is still a lot better

    Maybe that's why I sought out a program like one tab afterall

    200 tabs was probably on the low end for me before I started using that extension

    It's been years now, so I may be guilty of some false memories

    I use the side berry extension for FF which adds a sidebar to organize tabs into groups and adds a tree structure to the tab view as well. It also automatically unloads inactive tabs until you return to them. I have 1400 tabs open

    The auto tab discard extension might be useful for you

    Not really, I don't just leave old tabs open and never return to it, I actually go back to my older tabs (eventually). I jump between different projects a lot

    If chrome is stable enough to handle hundreds of tabs open for weeks at a time out of the box then it is a clear winner for me, I shouldn't have to rely on an extension just for that base functionality

    Try Tab Suspender. With it you can open as many tabs as you care to, it will auto-suspend tabs unless you choose tabs not to suspend. This way you can open as many tabs in as many windows as you want, even suspend all the tabs in one window or many windows.
    One Tab is even better, it puts all open tabs into 1 tab as a long list, then you can open those as needed in new tabs or windows.
