Is this a Gen Z / Gen Alpha thing? My kids never close their tabs. It drives me crazy.

Gen Z here. I had a pretty shit laptop until I got a Acer Nitro 5 four years ago. I used to have 2 GBs of memory and a Intel Centrino Duo CPU. It was my dad's old laptop and I have installed Lubuntu 14.04 on it when I was 11 and it was how I got interest in computers

I currently have 24 GBs of memory in my pc but i still can't open more than 5-6 tabs without freaking out. Number goes down if I have a office program running. There's just a buzzer in my brain that goes off when my computer reaches 4-5 gb of mem usage. But Firefox on my phone has 153 open tabs rn for some reason

I had like 8 tabs open in Firefox on my phone and it suggested turning on an automatic close tabs feature.
