Doesn't a lazy-loaded tab solve this problem?

To me, the problem is that bookmarks are "while browsing, go to a different component that loads the browser tab with what I want".

Tabs, OTOH, are a placeholder for things that I want to keep just 1 step closer.

Saying it that way, I don't think it makes rational sense. But 1 cognitive step to a page instead of two is huge for me.

Well, which is it for? To make your page come in quicker when you click it, or to be a more accessible UI for choosing among options of sites you've visited and want to return to? To me they are different things, and shouldn't be lumped together the way they are.
