A lot of things stay open and I might lose touch for sure.
But I have a lot of “per window” tab groups about specific work subjects, specific technologies, specific subjects of interest. A lot of it stays open until I look into it, which sometimes can take a while
Nobody actually looks at bookmarks, or at least I don’t. Bookmarks are where I dump tabs that I should look at, but probably won’t, but want to clean up tabs.
I have a few hundred bookmarks, but I don’t think I’ve actually looked at any. I usually get around to looking at my open tabs though.
That said, I generally cap out around 200 open tabs, and then I’ll cut it down to 10 or so essential tabs. This happens almost weekly. “Close to the right” and “shift click” to select multiple tabs are amazing.
I use bookmarks, but I don’t group them into folders. Instead, I add multiple keywords/tags. I don’t really use them by going to the bookmark menu. I rely on them showing up in the search recommendations when I am searching for something.
Granted I’m guilty of saving some open pages as bookmarks and only getting back to them 5 years or so later. But generally if you’re organized enough bookmarks should fill that space pretty well.
I use a tab manager, and a tab killer that kills the process while not actively in use to save resources. I believe the tab killer is auto tab discard, and the tab manager I can’t remember which it is right now
Hazel sounds like my soulmate. I have a good 1500+ tabs open on any given moment
May I ask you what you actually need that many tabs for? I do research for my work but I usually start closing stuff at 50ish tabs lates

Aren’t these bookmarks ?

That’s how I use tabs, and I don’t need keywords or tags. Just search in the bar, and switch to the tab. It works pretty well.

But if you have 1500 tabs, nobody looks at the tabs either. Or it takes like the first half an hour of each work day.
Ahh ok thx for the clarification I still can’t imagine me handling that many tabs but you do you :D
Your addon list please

How do you even know what’s open after 50??
Well I have about 40 tabs of Lemmy threads, another 30 of news sites, 12 of them are recipes where I was trying to decide on dinner…
