[Bug 1376433] Re: limit the amount of open tabs restored when browser starts

 

Hi Bill,

Thank you for raising the good point.
We actually designed a feature to limit the amount of displayed tabs to 10, with an action to show 10 more, then 10 more up to 40 tabs.
https://docs.google.com/a/canonical.com/presentation/d/1Qrd4Flfs3EH-fI79IfrYgLdAx2nce-L7ve8NKLCX324/edit#slide=id.g2bb3fbfe6_03
We could implement this feature so every time you restart the browser, only the first 10 are displayed.
 
I'd rather have that, than removing the tabs altogether from the data model.

I hope it makes sense.

  limit the amount of open tabs restored when browser starts

Bug description:
  I just noticed when launching the browser I had a huge list of open
  tabs (like 30). We should limit this to the 10 most recently visited
  tabs. Otherwise the list is bound to continue to grow and it's not
  really apparent to the user unless they visit the open tabs page. Even
  though we are not loading them in memory I'm sure there is still
  overhead with creating them.
