Same here. Used FF+Sidebery (and Tab Center Reborn before that) for years. ~5k tabs and it worked perfectly. With Chromium/Brave I can open maybe a hundred before the browser croaks and takes up all available memory.
I don't open heavy websites in FF, though. For youtube links, I always use Brave.
I used to hoard tabs, but these days I just switch profiles. If I have over 2000 tabs, I copy maybe a hundred over to a new profile. It's just easier.
For example, my HN-dedicated firefox window has ~900 tabs right now, from June. All save the recent 5 are unloaded. I probably won't look at them again but just going through the list is a chronological reminder of what I was doing. Honestly, I could close them all but there's a "what if I need that sub-list of tabs dedicated to XYZ again?" in my head that wins out.
I have a separate note/data management system so this is mostly just... something.
Unfortunately, for most evil and/or small corporations, licenses are weak requests and not binding contracts. They will strip the code from the license and integrate it into their software.
It will be interesting to see what their implementation is like, and if it will decrease trust in LLMs. If the ads are obvious and part of the output, then people might just socially demote chatGPT to a dumb bot.
