A year or so ago, I started using an addon to put tabs in categories/windows because of this. Then I added more categories. And more.
I have easily a few hundred tabs now. My "general" category has maybe 60? My (unsaved) porn category, shit 300+? Then I've got server management, shopping, and a few others, with like 25ish each. And then I was like, ah ha, I'll be smart, I'll save things as bookmarks so stuff I'm shopping or researching or whatever is moved out of the way until I need it, then I'll export and use linkding to manage it all. Fuck it, I'll just use it for all categories as I clean up this mess slowly. Well long story short now I have a fuckload of tabs and 1k+ bookmark links. But the good news is I can simultaneously link you details about implementing Fail2Ban, info on a dozen docker containers, show you my progress so far on locally-hosted security systems, and a dozen tabs about whatever kink you want, without searching for anything.

Here I am getting claustrophobic with more than 6 tabs, I usually close my browser after a project so all the history and cookies clear

Is managing your tabs and searching for a particular one faster than using a search engine though?
Fair point. My browser (FF) supports 'search in tabs' as well and suggest it over a new search engine result when typed in the address bar. I don't know what about the style makes me think this, but it looks like FF on Windows in the Screenshot.

Most browsers are now “sleeping” tabs so it’s only saving the URL, and not any of the data/objects on it. It’s kind of necessary given that modern ~~websites~~ adware has the system requirements of Crysis.
Imagine giving websites unfiltered permission to run code and display ads.
I was amazed to find out you can open a new tab by using middle-click in firefox.
Close it as well, don't need to press the X.
Ctrl+w
Ctrl+shift+t to recover a tab you closed by accident
You mean Ctrl + Shift+ t t t t t t
Because the thing you needed was always like 6 tabs ago
I feel called out both in this comment and the post

In all browsers. For like 15 years already.
Tree Style Tabs are pretty great if you like having hundreds of tabs open: https://addons.mozilla.org/pt-BR/firefox/addon/tree-style-tab/
Hey, guys? Bookmarks. Every browser has nesting, organizable, searchable bookmark folders. Get your laundry off the chair, fold it, and put it in drawers.
My old sock drawer has been cleaned out more recently than my browser bookmarks. Just saying...

Browser: "Are you gonna order somethin' kid!?" (all subsequent data streams to Google for future sale)
User: "Uh yeah, give me, gimme a tab."
Browser: "A tab. I can't give you a tab unless you order something!"
User: "But I'm jonesin for some saccharin ... not that newtra-schweddy or whatever it is"
Biff Yaml enters; sits two spaces down, feeling sexagesimal: "What are you looking at, BUTTHEAD!?" (all of his comments are one line)
Python Strickland enters: "User what are you doing? Four spaces are used for indentation. You got a real attitude problem, user; you're a slacker! You remind me of your dunder father when he went here; he was a slacker, too! Quack quack. (his package is poorly managed)
Linus Torvalds enters: heavy breathing ... curses in Finnish (Älykääpiö!) ... gits out
IBM Selectric: "Hold my beer .. and my ball"
Obnoxious neighbor kid walks in (a real ascii): Invokes char(11)/VT; sits on the floor. His Mylar balloon flies away, hits a high voltage line, and the power goes out.
Browser: "Well, looks like the milkshake machine's broken."
Teletype Model 28 looks up from drinking coffee and reading the morning paper tape: "I would like to be ... modified"
Doc Mill (nee' Rampazetto) enters: (shudders) "Momma bollocks!"
During this time, Helium was on a noble mission and did not react.

Are you sure you want to close 208 tabs?
I have 21 tabs open right now, including this one. That's on my personal machine. Don't ask how many I have open on my work machine that I haven't rebooted in a few weeks.
Hello Sir, it's Stephen from IT,
Sir. Please reboot your PC before you ever even think about giving us a call.
Hope to never hear from you. hangs up
and then you get to close all tabs right of the first
And everything freezes for like 3 seconds while it churns through that process. Lol.
vertical tabs for the win! I switched recently and it ignited this habit for me 😅
When you have more tabs than a pharmacy, it's time to worry!
So genuine question, what are the benefits or reasons for having multiple tables open rather than saving as bookmarks or links? It just doesn't make any sense to me but seems to be pretty common for people to do any more and I want to understand
Sub-optimal ADHD coping strategy (kind of a joke). Some people just... don't have object permanence? Like if they don't have visual reminders it falls completely out of their brain. I don't get it because I have a terrible memory but I deal with that by organizing and developing habits like always putting things down in the same spot. I hate sifting through clutter.
I have three categories of tabs:
- web apps I want to keep open all the time for notifications that I don't want to install (Discord, calendar, email)
- tabs I'm currently switching back and forth between or plan to soon
- tabs from the second category that I forgot to close or left open because I never got around to the task I planned to use them for
The last one is the largest by several orders of magnitude.

If I bookmark a link then close out of it I'm far more likely to forget about it. Vs just opening a tab and getting to it when I get to it, or just mass closing tabs every once in a while.
Man, I'm so glad my ADHD kicks in the other way with this
The only time I let myself get over 3/4 tabs is when I'm searching for an answer in documentation or downloading game mods or similar, middle-click a whole shitton of pages then go through them, but always close them when I'm done with them because otherwise how will I find anything?
My bookmarks are organized, but also contain links to pages that died 10 years ago so maybe I should clean that
Having your tabs trees in runtimedir on a rolling distro, so you have to clean up and save as bookmarks every weekend.
Or – living on the edge.
Main browser: firefox focus?
I will just leave these here:
