Firefox: address bar is 2px too high? Garbage. Chrome: eavesdrops on everything? This is fine.
User priorities are what’s really broken.

I currently have 8260 tabs open across 9 windows, and that's just on my main laptop, across all devices I probably have over 20k tabs, and I don't really have any issues regarding tab management. I used to have issues with Firefox randomly nuking my state on load and having to restore backups, but now I use Tab Session Manager for that and never think twice about it.
Is there some specific reason why you are doing this? What possible benefit could this have beyond some weird bragging rights?

Because it works for me. Every now and then I tend to it and cut a couple hundred or thousand tabs I no longer need.
You choose to do it so I assume it works for you. What benefit does this give you over the more traditional bookmarking, etc?

You seem here and in another comment to be kind evasive around the spirit of the question…which I think is more “how does this work for you?” You choose to do it so I assume it works for you. What benefit does this give you over the more traditional bookmarking, etc?
The benefit is that I went from thousands of bookmarks, which were difficult and time-consuming to organize and navigate, to contextual pages each filling specific roles and containing ephemeral links to what I need. It works very well for my ADHD and allows me to basically have a messy desk across several domains and contexts, while still having file cabinets for things I do want organized and stashed away.
This has let me vastly simplify my bookmarks, which I typically arrange as unlabeled favicons ordered by color on my bookmarks toolbar, with some others stashed away in a folder.
I keep what I really need, and I'm always ready to drop things I don't need, and it helps me keep a better long-term working memory of ongoing tasks, interests and hobbies.

#126This is clearly a PR stunt. Perplexity knows Google would not sell Chrome, it is the holy grail of their ads strategy and would cripple their moat.

I don't meant to sound evasive, and your clarified question here is easier to understand and answer appropriately.

What's so bad about firefox? I think it should be fine for 99% of the population.
