Actually I try to keep a tab-zero & inbox-zero approach. I keep the working items in a bookmark folder.
Yeah I usually have no open tabs at the end of a session. The point is that with the right tools, you can bulk capture the essence of what you were browsing without letting clutter accumulate.
Tabbed browsing: a lousy band-aid over poor browser document and state management (2014): ...What I want is to maintain a list of current references, preferably with some spatial context (tree-mode browsing is great for this) to what the relationship is between pages in my browser session. I do not need is for every last single page to be open at the same time, sucking down memory, CPU cycles, and worse: playing vide…
Linear tab history almost gives you a temporal history of things which are interesting enough to keep.
Tree-style tabs provide emergent context and semantic organisation without conscious effort which flat linear presentation does not.

Close you tabs and use your browser's history function to find them back if you really need them.
Sometimes the line items in the history list aren't really informative, and if you can't recall what particular day you might have visited the page you might have some homework in front of you. I wish the entire page was catched in some way so I can search for a keyword or use some regex to make sense of my foggy memory. This is a computer for crying out loud, I should be using regex, not feeling like I'm digging thr…
1. Seek: If you give it a search term it'll display the results as list of links
2. Sort: Any links or images you click on while in Web goes into a list called the Stack. I think it acts like your working memory in the same way that a traditional window of tabs might, and the act of sending links to the stack may be related to the "seeking circuit".
Links in the stack can be clicked on to navigate to, or swiped right to be sent to the Store section.
3. Store: Links here are saved from the stack as you use the app, and you can create folders.
* https://imgur.com/gallery/AwBTxlZ Here's an imgur post I just made with screenshots of the walk-through and a gif of usage. I don't use it anymore because it's been unsupported for years so I'm assuming that it's not exactly secure, but I loved the idea.
I... have a problem. I recently had ~1600 tabs open in Firefox. With a lot of painstaking effort I cut it down to ~750. Quite some distance to go still. The default interface sucks once you have more than 50 tabs. I wish there were easy REPL-ish programmatic access to the list/dict of tabs (so I could filter out all GitHub tabs, or close all stackoverflow tabs, etc) and that was a first class citizen in the browser i…
I'd say that if you need 1000+ tabs, there is a problem. Not with you but with the browser. I mean, how can you not get lost? Do you realize the thing you are looking for is on tab 248 before lookin it up again? At that point these are not tabs anymore they are a directory or a history. I think using tabs for that is totally inadequate. Unfortunately, browsers tend to be lacking in that department. They have a list o…
For me it works like “memory palace” technique. Driven by addiction a graph structure with multiple root node starts to build up so I can follow traces of thoughts and contexts among tabs and windows.

This is quite a staggering amount imo... Why not just avoid painstaking and just start fresh? Is this a form of FOMO? Edit, you are at the point where you need a search engine for your tabs, you might as well close them and use the internet directly instead of cached in your own tabs. If I may ask, on what basis did you close all those tabs, did you read them all? What will you do with the rest?
I can type github in the filter and then jump to the one tab I search or close all the tabs I don't need.

I'm sorry to hear that Nobody should have to wade through 1500+ tabs. It's frustrating to hear anyone struggle with that in this day and age. I've been there myself. But there are technical solutions. I haven't had to deal with tab anxiety in years. My browser stack is Tree Style Tabs, Session Manager, Multiple Tab Handler, and Tab Group Plus. I regularly wrangle clusters of tabs. If I have a tree of tabs that is spa…

Maybe we need some kind of page mark and index system?

I use a chrome plugin (List All Tabs) which is able to show tabs as well as filter them and close them. I can type github in the filter and then jump to the one tab I search or close all the tabs I don't need.
