I immediately change the settings to get rid of that message but to your claim, you are saying she was actively doing that to knew how many tabs she had open before it crashed? Really?

That sounds just as ridiculous as the news itself. To me, even if this is true, it is a shining and shameful example of 1st World Problems.

No, I was just answering the the question in this post here:

How could the system handle that much memory load?
How could browser handle the load?

The real question no one is asking: How the hell did the user even know or count how many tabs they had open?
Tabs couldn't look much different than a series of "IIIIIIIIIIIIIIII" at that point!

Sounds like BS news to me...

If that's what the person did to lose all the tabs IDNK.

Didn't really address my question though because I asked:

How would someone know how many tabs they had open (after it had already crashed)?

Some random home user was actually actively checking the number of tabs they had open on a daily or weekly basis just so they could whine about it if they lost it somehow?

Not even my very drunk self would find this scenario plausible.

I don’t remember if they were using Windows or Mac, but on my Mac, Safari has a button to show all tabs. When I click it, it tells me how many tabs are open. I didn’t even think to check other browsers yet. I may do that now.
