I have a massive tab problem, and had to build a personal SOP to manage it. I have 400+ tabs open on Chrome right now, on my mobile. Every now and then, I use chrome on my laptop to open all tabs from my mobile (tabs from other devices show in History), save them to one tab (browser extension), and save it as a HTML, and close all tabs on my mobile. It doesn't take more than a week to build up to more than 100 again.

I believe my record has been 1100+ tabs on Chrome, and 5000+ tabs on Opera Mobile.

The desktop version of these apps can't handle these amounts nearly as well..

What is the cost of this capability in terms of a browser's memory footprint, performance and security? In other words, if the browser could omit this capability would it be significantly smaller, faster and more secure?

If that were true, then perhaps there should be a "pro" or "enterprise" version of the browser at a different price point. Most users can easily limit themselves to about 10 tabs.
