>>16gb ram, and with all the tabs loaded, Chrome reliably uses half to two thirds of that space.<<

Last time I left Firefox open long enough to reach two-thirds RAM usage, I almost had to force-reboot: the computer was barely functional enough to accept and (eventually) execute a command to shut Firefox down.

Mind you, I only have 8 GB RAM, so one-third of my RAM is less absolute room to work with than one-third of yours.

(I do have three empty RAM slots, though, each of which is capable of accepting 8 GB. I might ask for a RAM upgrade for my birthday: I've only run into one edge case so far of being unable to do something I wanted to do because of insufficient RAM, but progress marches on and it might become more of a problem by November, at least to the point of being worth nipping in the bud.)

Some of my bookmarks *are* actually reference material and the like, which I think was supposed to be the intended use case. But my reference materials are generally in their own sub-folders, while the main bookmark folder is mostly interesting-looking video and audio (with occasional text, but I'm a lot more likely to [get around to] and/or [download] text, so it mostly isn't kept in the bookmarks).

(Note that I *do* sometimes archive things that I have not actually read, if I think future selves might want to access them multiple times. As such, a lot of my digital TBR is a collection of ODTs/PDFs/EPUBs/HTMLs on my computer.)
