An invaluable feature! I wish there was an extension to open YouTube links with it directly from Firefox so you could use the website just as a catalogue. I think there was one, but as it had the part that had to run as a service right on your machine and the extension could communicate with it, it wasn't really cross-platform.

Yeah, absolutely — that's the way I like reading my RSS feed: with JS and cookies enabled! 😩

I don't remember experiencing these insane leaks for quite some time already and AutoTabDiscard usually helps freeing lots of RAM, no need for a complete restart.

@OmegaPolice
…it uses just about half a gigabyte of real RAM (resident, virtual memory allocated is still above 4 Gb of course) — as you can see, it's very modest, Thunderbird consumes more even when idle, and software based on webkit-gtk can consume about 2 Gb easily just after opening a couple of pages. I'm using Firefox in Void Linux and I stopped updating it at FF124 — could also be the reason why it's different here.

@OmegaPolice
Yes, it uses tab unloading, it just gives you more customisation and fine-grained control over it. I have to admit, I don't open many "heavy" website — could be the real reason I never experience these leaks, but the machine I'm typing this on is decade-old laptop with only 16 gigs of RAM, it has an uptime of over a month, I'm not certain that Firefox kept running the entire time though, but it currently has about two dozens of open tabs, most of which are unloaded and…

Catering to the people never helps either, the problem described in the opening post isn't about Rust, it's about interfaces *already implemented in the kernel* — Linux maintainers are reluctant to change them, even if you offer them the option of changing the language to their needs, they will just keep making those up as an excuse to not use it, the problem isn't Rust 🤷

Oh you!
But otherwise — yeah, you have a point. Introducing such a tectonic shift to a mature project is a challenge and might not even be possible, appealing to the public won't help. The Rust crowd is better off abandoning that pile of garbage that is Linux kernel and making their own, maybe borrowing heavily from it.

Try this extension: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/auto-tab-discard/
Firefox does some of it itself so I've never seen it grow indefinitely, but this one limits it further. I've configured it to only allow five tabs to remain active — probably not for everyone, but it works for me!
