Browsers in Lite

19 YouTube pages, holy cow! That's a very demanding load on a browser.

Yea, 19 is a lot but it is simpler than subscribing to the ones that don't have an RSS feed. That is the most interesting way I have found to educate myself on Linux. Maybe I am asking a lot of Firefox but it just slows down SeaMonkey and does cause any problems with Chrome. Chrome just asks me if I am sure I want to open that many.  ;D

Even on newer hardware I do not open 19 YouTube pages at a time, expecially since YouTube now does a bunch of background stuff.
Maybe some browser stock scripts when windows are minimized, this would explain different behaviors.
Heck, depending on content, even 25-30 "normal" pages can make my "High-end" PC work in Lag-O-Rama.

Anyways... I would suggest opening ONE YouTube windows and bookmark other using the a bookmark-folder named "! - Things to view" (with an exclamation mark in front so it's at the top in alphabetical order). Thats zero resources on any PC.

Cheers!

It is possible to make a playlist on YouTube and click any videos to add them to the playlist, you can also edit their position in the list to produce a desired learning order.
You can make your playlist public, or you can choose to keep it private, either when creating or at any time later.
You do not need to subscribe to the channels of any videos added to your playlists.
When searching and undecided yet if you wish to add them to the playlist, you can choose "watch later" it adds them to the watch later playlist, until decided/sorted.
You can make many playlists for different areas of learning in Linux, and name them how you see fit, with a description that is useful.

Thanks for the suggestions but I have a bookmarks folder of active You Tube channels that do not have RSS feeds (in addition to the 40 I subscribe to by RSS with Thunderbird) that I check daily for new videos that I might want to watch. Since Chrome just asks if I am sure then opens them in tabs without any problems, I'll just use Chrome for You Tube. Maybe a newer version of Firefox will be able to handle it.

A new Firefox updates pack came down in LL Install Updates for me about 1 hours ago, maybe these have something for your needs ?

[member=411]bitsnpcs[/member], no change after update. Maybe Firefox Quantum http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/quantum/ which comes out Nov 14 will. Claims to be 2 X faster than from last year's Firefox and use 30% less memory than Chrome.

[member=14]Coastie[/member] Thank You for the info about Firefox Quantum  it sounds good, hopefully it will work how you need it to.
I look forward to reading your feedback on how it goes, it will be a good test for it.

I miss Netscape.

Recall a great joke from SNL announcing a merger between Netscape and Yahoo. They are gonna call it Netanyahu!

Have used FF for years but with the upcoming 57 update, never mind. Got the beta and it's ugly -- all W10 Flatland style. Pale Moon is my new best friend. It was a reaction to Australis.
