Best alternative to Chrome for power-user?

Question

I'm sick and tired of Chrome eating my RAM while I struggle to manage my 100+ tabs. As we speak Chrome eats gigabytes of my 8GB RAM and my laptop gets slower significantly....My only option is to either get more RAM or to find better browser but my options are bleak. Every other browser is muti-process browser written primarily in C++ and C++ sucks too[0]. I have 100+ tabs in my mobile Chrome and my mobile Firefox so there's something fundamentally wrong with multi-process C++ desktop browsers. Yea I can use memory saver on Chrome and various extensions to manage my tabs but I want a browser that is written with performance in mind. Any suggestions for a PC internet power-user?[0] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14734171

What types of pages do you keep permanently open in tabs?I have 3 tabs always open, for 3 email accounts. If I used Slack or Discord, I would probably have a couple more, but luckily I don't have to use them. All other tabs are ephemeral &ndash; when I'm not "in the middle of something" and notice there are many tabs open, I close them all except the three.

Hilarious. Have you tried downloading more RAM on your C++ multi-process desktop? Jokes aside you can do a lot of memory management in Chrome or Firefox for chrome the memory saver they added in December might be a good start or countless extensions on Firefox...(They don't work on iOS sadly).
