Of course the tabs would just come back up next time they open the browser window again. Can’t risk losing those precious tabs, there might be an important one among them.
As a previous tab hoarder, excessive use of bookmarks is the answer. Organized is more useful, but even a single bookmark folder for all of your “I’ll need this later” tabs will do wonders for you, and being a bookmark hoarder is so much more functional than being a tab hoarder. You can actual reset your browser every once in a while.
But then I’ll have to take an explicit action to keep my tab! I’d much rather have no action required to save that tab that I’m likely to never visit again.
Yeah, I have a mental cutoff somewhere around 200 tabs. I don’t count them, but I routinely so a “close to the right” and get 100+ in the “are you sure” pop-up. I do this about every week or two… And yes, I close a lot of tabs as I go.
That ain’t no power user, that’s a lazy tech who needs to clean up after himself and close a browser window every once in awhile.

Signed, a tab hoarder.

Why not both? I currently have around 400 tabs open, and I cant even count how many bookmarks I have.

History search sucks.
Herself. Did you read the article?
Everyone uses tech in their own way.
You and I might only have a few tabs open, this person has a lot.
It’s easy to be critical of them, but whatever.
Maybe it’s like saving shortcuts or files to the desktop. Seems ridiculous but if that’s how nan wants to do it who cares.
ill only judge them for not simply using bookmarks
I don’t use bookmarks
but why
why would I?
organization
organise what?
the tabs

I just close them every day when I shut down my PC.
If I need one back I just re-open them.
If one of them really is that important that I need it multiple time, I create a bookmark for it.
Sometimes I even close my browser multiple times a day in order to clear all cookies since that is the easiest way. (Firefox setting)
Wouldn’t it be annoying to have to relogin everywhere?
