I've honestly started doing that at least once a week and it really feels good for my mind to let that go. I can find whatever site it was later on when I actually need it again

    Have you heard of bookmarks? There's even a bookmark bar that is right up there near the tabs. You can even edit the bookmark and delete the name so it's just a tiny icon on the bookmarks bar.

    But I don’t like bookmarks, they’re way more work. Sure, if I’m trying to get the best performance possible, I’ll close my browser (all tabs will reopen when I start the browser again), but I mostly need a fuckload of tabs and a word processor, so it doesn’t normally impact my usage to have a bunch of tabs open.

    People who have a hard time wrangling tabs will just have the same problem with bookmarks.

    It's not the same problem though because they're not actively draining your memory.

    Maybe browsers have made that less of a problem, but only because so many people were misusing tabs in the first place. So they had to make them more like bookmarks so it wasn't strangling people's PC

    Yes, but the OP in this thread is talking more about the mental and organizational aspect of tab/bookmarking, not RAM. Someone who isn’t great at managing tabs will also have a hard time managing bookmarks.

    I just find it really laborious to organize bookmarks properly when you get into the hundreds, and it’s more work to delete and easier to forget which in practice just means I still have decades old bookmarks I’m not interested in anymore. Tabs at least are in the way so I can remember to close them. I do use a few extensions to make it all a little easier to manage when I do deep dives into something and “need” ~50 new tabs for a little while.
