I have 7-8000 on one machine, multiple thousands on at least two others. Session Buddy + either Auto Tab Discard or The Marvellous Suspender means I don't lose any even in crashes and it doesn't use too much RAM.

I thought Suspender had been taken down due to some change upstream that introduced trackers or something else shady. Great to see it got forked. I’ve been using Auto Tab Discard but it doesn’t feel as effective on diminishing RAM usage.

Has that been your experience as well?

That was The Great Suspender. Marvellous is a fork that seems to work just like the original. I actually have trouble with it with more than ~2000 (3000?) tabs. It gets unstable and slow. Auto Tab Discard doesn't have that problem, but does occasionally disappear and stop suspending tabs until you reload it.

Also my exact setup! Have hundreds of tabs and in between Session Buddy and The Marvellous Suspender, I haven’t lost one yet.
