  Why not just close them and open them back up later? Like you can bookmark the pages so you don’t lose your spot but I find it annoying to find the tab I am looking for at around 10 I would imagine it’s much worse at 200

    Why not just close them and open them back up later?

    Because that’s extra steps for no actual improvement.

    I close the tabs that I’m done with and add new ones when I want to not forget to look at something a bit later.

    That doesn’t need the “permanence” of a bookmark. (And, obviously I know editing bookmarks is a thing, but that is also extra steps for something I’ll only want once in about 15 min from now)

      Isn’t there a vast improvement by having a clean set of tabs that you can read the names of compared to 100 little tabs that you have to click through?

        I didn’t claim I had a hundred of them going at any give time.

        And, regardless, I also don’t keep them open forever. I just close the one I’m finished with, check out the next one, then repeat until I’m through with them.

    You can search specifically for open tabs in Firefox and probably most other browsers (enter % [tabname] in Firefox’ address bar) you tend to have related tabs near it, it’s less work than opening all those tabs back up through bookmarks or history.

    I don’t generally find any tab. I work with the set related to my task then close them. The tabs for the previous task are right there, so I can just continue that task until completed, then close those tabs.

    It partly works, but I don’t always close tabs for interruptions and aren’t always able to work my way back to uncompleted tasks, so it builds up
