    I’ve been using the Firefox extension “Auto Tab Discard”, which helps a lot with RAM usage. I like multi-tab-browsing and IME browsers just don’t free up RAM when other applications need them.

        It might be a bit of a misnomer. The tabs aren’t deleted, just forcibly unloaded, and you can even prevent it from doing that on a per-tab-basis.
