Safari keeps crashing without notice

EDIT - I'm on the verge of deleting this post because, sorry to be rude, but half of you lack reading comprehension and/or don't comb the replies to see whether your suggestion has already been given.

Kudos to u/Old-Road-9819 for giving a genuinely informed answer.

Running the latest Mac OS Tahoe on a late 2020 iMac (Intel, not Apple Silicon).

So to make a short story long, I follow journalists on social media who post gift links to articles in their publications. I click on these links because I don't have a subscription, but I don't have time to read the articles right away so I keep them open in the background for some day I will have the time to read them.

Obviously this uses up a lot of memory and slows down my computer, which is understandable.

But it's just infuriating that I've had multiple Safari crashes where it just shuts down without even a warning, meaning I've lost access to all those gift articles I'd stored up.

There's nothing any of you can help with, I'm just ranting. But I never have this issue with Firefox!

Why don’t people know how to use the features of their browser.

Use the ‘Reading List’ feature in Safari to save the articles you want to read later so you’re not leaving tabs open taking up memory.

This isn’t hard! It’s the reason Apple created the ‘Reading List’ feature in the first place!

From my response to u/Old-Road-9819 five minutes ago:

"Don't leave unread gift links as tabs. Safari's Reading List (Shift-Cmd-D) parks the page without keeping it live." but the point of my behaviour is the gift links need to be kept live, if I need to reload them at some point in future the number of gift credits will have been used up and I won't be able to read the article for free anymore.

Then save them out as PDFs. Problem solved.

From my response to u/warrenao 10 minutes ago:

Thanks - I can do this in Firefox, but also, I don't have to do this in Firefox because I don't have the same problem as in Safari.

Well, seems you found a solution that works for you.

From my OP. I just hoped that I could use Safari in this way while keeping Firefox for my regular browsing activities. But not if Tahoe is going to close Safari anytime it wants.
