I learned of tab sleeping in another reply. Having all of that juggling in RAM would be the downside, but apparently that feature takes care of that. I haven't looked into it yet or learned about it, still just going off someone mentioning it.

Although for me if it's important enough to need to keep around, I would bookmark it anyway because I never trust reopening to bring everything back.

yeah the sleeping is a bit annoying at times when you want the page loaded in the background, but that's a tradeoff I'm willing to take for having everything just there and organized and mostly ready to view. and with bookmarks I'd have to reload the page anyways, so it's not like that gets around it
