The author recommends this add-on- “Auto Tab Discard”- apparently optimising tab memory management. Why wouldn’t the standard distribution adopt it?

I’m reminded of when I used to maintain an epic-sized vimrc, compiled my kernel for a different IO scheduler, etc. The plight of the “power-user” is walking a fine line between tool refinement and over-complication (which in my case can stem from procrastination).

There are many reasons to strive for a minimalist setup, main one being that setting everything up from scratch shouldn’t feel exhausting.

That said… Firefox, with just uBO and a few basic privacy settings tightened, is pretty great.

I think it does. I had over a thousand tabs open on Firefox mobile when I upgraded my phone recently.

Browsers discard tabs by default, but only when your system is running out of memory. You can use Auto Tab Discard to discard all or most tabs automatically after a certain time.

honestly I've just left the extension on. Firefox does natively have this feature now.
