<div>If you have too many tabs open taking up a lot of memory, try
the OneTab extension. It takes all open tabs except pinned ones

<p>How does this OneTab works internally?</p>
<p>If it brings all processes into one process, is there the same
separation level between them, that acts as an additional hurdle
when one of pages is trying to escape or collect external info.<br>

<div>I am on a Thinkpad 450. No idea when it was made. BIOS

</div>
<div>that may be an update that the previous owner applied, or
I did apply it <br>

<div>after I bought it. <br>

<div>Model number is 20BUS6150U<br>

<div>CPU is Intel Core i5-5300U CPU @ 2.30GHz<br>

<div>I definitely had issues with Firefox's memory usage,
which was a problem even <br>
</div>
<div>with 12GB of RAM. Turns out the issue was too many
Firefox windows opened. <br>

<div>Yes, CPU usage goes up (idle time goes down from 81% to
61%). <br>
</div>
<div>But the fan never kicks in and the laptop remains
responsive. <br>

<div>Some Javascript on some other pages do cause the fan to
kick in though.<br>
