If you have more with BB10, good for you.

Let me add one point: this is clearly possible to have much more than 3-tab in sailfish os browser, but usually only 3 are kept in memory, so that if you have more, you may have to reload the tab if you want it back.

That limit is probably more related to Jolla phone than to the SFOS browser per se: they had to do that because Jolla phone is having less memory than most competitors.
We can hope for more optimisation for sure and it will come at some point
BB10 and its browser (because this is what you use mostly) is maybe more optimised in that regards, at least for the moment.

I know that the point is made so often but for sure, Jolla is a small company (compared to any other competitor) and by far. They cannot work on all aspects at the same time, they do prioritize and much more than other companies.

We know the weaknesses
and we know the strengths.

to have a Jolla is more to be in a (small) boat for a journey than to be in the beach taking the sun
You are right, but i was not talking about it, my point was that it's not cool to tell "we do not need it" or "we have this instead" if something is not done properly, but people keep doing it.

And about small company. True and unfair for them to compete with huge companies with huge resources and option to make phones with top HW. But still it's mostly excuse. As they decided to make something and they want to compete in market, all this are excuses. They knew it ahead and they went for it. It's like to have professional runners and not trained person in competition, you can't expect from judges to give sympathy for him just because he is not trained and tries his best, if he is not ready, he should not compete or to be ready to be last one and acknowledge it. There is no place for sympathy, it's about competition. And if most Jolla community telling how Android(btw i myself do not like it, but that's not the point) is closed and how Jolla is superior and when they proved wrong, even in matter of openess, they suddenly turn it to "but they are small" or "it';s not their fault, but 3rd parties". It's wrong as at the end of the day the reason doesn't matter, the fact is the fact. And i paied 400euro i did not do it for charity or sympathy, i expected certain thigns that were promised(openess and opensourcing things) or to be unlike and modern smartphone and not "but they are still small". But at the end of the day, while Jolla has really a lot of advantages over other phones(real Linux, terminal, Qt, latest opensource technologies), with all that they still to be smartphone with at least mid range features of the todays smartphones, otherwise i do not see the point from not using even N900(just coz of UI? or TOH that was used to promote Jolla at first day but except few awesome community memebrs work all we got expensive covers with colours and ringtones, btw nothing about it lately while it was huge promotion on the start, coincidence?).
We all forget, while i do respect a lot of sailors and there are a lot of talents, but a lot of companies do, the question is about directions. We all agree that google is evil now, but they use a lot of opensource and still help opensource projects, but it's all about their own needs mostly. Same with Jolla, we need to see their direction and remember it's not a charity. If jolla want to compete with other smartphones it would be unacceptable to tell about each failure that it's coz they are small, after all for me as end user it's irrelevant as i pay even more expensive price for same specs for OS that after 2 years(or even more?) still can't deliver a lot of things. And please do not tell me that iOS and Android lack a lot at start, as they lack competitiors too, they introduced something new and made a standard after all. If Jolla want to do that they at least have to have something innovative and new UI and proove of concept of TOH, which is dropped for tablet and when i asked if there would be support and compatability for second phone, i got no answers. So basically everytime we compare or say what's wrong with Jolla we get same excuses and no real answer.
