So I installed GNOME Web on my Haiku system and now I can enjoy the system running out of memory and completely freezing because I have open 9 webpages, just like on Linux 😍
(ok I was also compiling WebKit in the background, but I have done that a lot in the past and it never ended that way)

Never really used GNOME Web, but I have used a variety of browsers in Ubuntu for years with dozens of tabs opened, with no trouble at all. Only 8GB of RAM.
Most likely, the cause is a severelly underpowered machine.
Ok, you are right 😅 . I have never gone so far, but had trouble enough compiling NPM dependencies in an old hard disk on Windows. I'm suprised you got to 9.
@jgg my machine is less than one year old and has 16GB of RAM. I think that's not the problem. Have you tried compiling WebKit (or Yocto, or other big software projects) on all your CPU cores while you browse the web?
