Usually, no more than half a dozen tabs are the maximum. This is no real problem here, because I do not open dozens of tabs at the same time. Without any precise technical data, every reply remains speculative.īy the way, on the machine where I am typing now, which is old and slow and has got little memory, the content processes have been limited to 2. The system information might clear up whether this is the reason for the reported problem. I suspect the affected machine is old and slow and has got little memory.
