That was without switching any tab into focus, so it seems that scrolling far is ok without crashing, as long as I don't switch a far away tab in focus.ĭ) When it crashes during tab switching, it "forgets" that I had closed some tabs and on the next restart, those tabs are back again. But Chrome will often crash if I scroll further away than that.Īt some point, I made the effort to count all the tabs and ended up around 400. Meaning it usually works to switch to the nearest +/- 1 or 2 tabs away from the current one. It always crashes if I close 3 tabs, which makes me wonder if there is a bug in the code for restructuring the tab list/stack/whatever holds them.Ĭ) When switching tabs, I need to be careful not to scroll too far. To prevent this from happening, I have to close 2 tabs, then switch one remaining tab into focus and let it load for a few seconds, then go back to the tab overview, close 2 more, switch one into focus, and so on. In particular:Ī) There seems to be no limit on how many new tabs I can open, but it gets slow when the number of tabs is highī) When closing tabs, I can always close 2 tabs but if I close 3, chrome will crash. I have had between 300-500 tabs open in the Chrome browser for quite a while, and I noticed some behaviors that I'm curious about.Ĭhrome crashes a lot when switching tabs or closing tabs.

I use a Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge but there was no tag for the "edge" version and I don't have the rep to create it.
