The web is incredibly bloated unfortunately. I had to upgrade my RAM recently because I couldn't open too many browser tabs without making the system hang, even with javascript disabled. Apart from that, you can do almost everything from the command line so even an old Raspberry Pi could be usable as a desktop computer.

You could still have a lot of RAM with RISC-V. The web does require lots of RAM nowadays, yes. But it is not a problem in this regard.

Take a look at Tab Wrangler extension. It closes tabs you haven’t used in a while.

I am curious if you how how this compares to The Great Suspender? I also don't understand why Chrome and Firefox don't buil tab managers directly into the browser.
