Well, 30 now that I opened this thread in a new tab.
But yeah. That's on the low side compared to usual for me.
(Firefox on a Raspberry Pi 4.)
how does it do with videos using your browser?
My experience is that the performance of videos depends a lot on how much of the screen the video takes up. More so than on the quality setting (480p, 720p, 1080p). Usually when I want to watch a video, I limit it to about 1/4 of the area of my 1920x1080 screen. But YouTube is pretty watchable. I don't think even when you select something like 720p@60fps or whatever that it ever actually gets up to 60fps, and sometimes the parts that don't compress as well drop a few frames (strobing in particular does that), but it's really not bad if you're ok with not doing full-screen.
Also, it depends where the video is hosted. If the JS is really light on the page, it's way more performant. If the JS is really heavy, I sometimes have to wait tens of seconds for it to render the first frame.
But also, this Raspberry Pi is mostly my Lemmy box. Not my main box.
Damn, I'm impressed that your rpi can handle that many tabs. Mine can only handle a few loaded pages at a time
My experience is that it has more to do with what's loaded in the tab than how many tabs are open. One tab can cause everything to run at like 1fps if it's bloated. ("Graphic design is my passion" kind of pages with tons of animations, usually.) But 100 Lemmy-UI tabs is no problem at all.
