It’s sad that operating systems gave up, before even trying to, to properly organize content with windows managers. There’s really no good reason why browser needs to have tabs, and have that exclusive ecosystem, not available to rest of the apps on the system. I’d love to be able to group and manage my windows as easily as tabs.

I'm always constantly over 100. It mostly spirals out of control when deep in research and going down the rabbit hole.
I'm curious, wouldn't you read the info and process it in your mind, and then close the tab when done? If it's something you will need to reference again later, then bookmark it? Like you know... a book. Put it back on the shelf or have hundreds of books open on the floor. I do not understand tab people. I do have a meticulously organized bookmark system though. Do tab people use bookmarks much at all?
This is fixing the wrong problem. Tabs aren't broken, browser history is. When I tried to find a web page from a certain date a few months ago, it was almost impossible to find. I actually think Internet Explorer used to have quite a good history. That's what we need, not better tabs management.

With the first party isolate, mechanisms such as oAuth would not work. So the containers are less restrictive, but still allow you to have two sites with the same cookie context.
I've been using first party isolation for quite a while on desktop and Android and the only websites I experienced issues with are the Atlassian login and the Trello GitHub powerup. Everything else, including tons of single sign in/OAuth websites, work without any issue.
Unfortunately of course it'll always be a minority, and won't affect whether even those people (have to) use Jira or whatever, so not really any incentive for Atlassian to fix it.

Shameless plug, but Vivaldi does this and so much more natively...since beta however many years ago. Haven't touched firefox since.
I'm not aware of Vivaldi having functionality similar to Firefox containers. Please elaborate.
My current setup : I have 5 pinned tab on top of the tree.
Below I have a "github" group of tabs.
Below I have a set of tabs opened on different parts of an app I'm working on.
Below is a group of documentation tabs.
Below is another group of articles I plan to read at some point.
Below I have the HN tab, with a tree of articles and comments.
I can't imagine going back to horizontal tabs. This is just much too good.
I just want the title bar back, above the tabs, on the mac. It's so frustrating trying to move/select the window with a tiny sliver available to click on.
Top right seems to always have space. You can also drag any window from any side by dragging perpendicular to the resize direction. It’s still small but I never heard anyone complain about precision there. And then there’s window manager if you’re a power user. I also think you can move any window with three finger via system settings.

Interesting, I hadn't seen that before. It's still a small space and annoying to grab, but it's better than now knowing about it.

Not sure what you mean here.

I use a mouse and full keyboard. I've never been able to interact with the mac well without them.
When I am on a roll I just want to hotkey a new tab open an start typing a search query for something. ctrl-t and type is just too fast and keeps me in the zone.
What if they added a new hotkey for opening a new tab in a new group? ctrl-g is taken, so something like ctrl-shift-g? Whatever it is, you get the point. Open a new tab in a new group. All tabs opened from a group stay in that group.
So, say I open a new tab group to search for something in google. I then read through the results and middle-click several items to open in new tabs. All those tabs should stay in the group. That way I can easily jump around to other tab groups and see what group had all the references to my question. I can then do this for several topics and keep things straight.
Maybe I'm wrong (EDIT: seems I'm wrong!), but I feel like the people with dozens of tabs open (guilty) aren't the ones who use organizational features? Also, it's a hidden feature, but you can already Shift+Select a group of tabs, and close/move/etc the whole group.
