I used to have many dozens of tabs open statically, kind of like a TODO list I never get round to. Some tabs are open all the time for email, chat as well.

I've eliminated those tabs and now have tabs related to what I'm currently doing only. There could still be dozens, but importantly they do get closed.

To prevent the static tabs, I do 2 things:

1) Map tabs I monitor (email, chat etc) to a streamdeck, pressing a physical button every time I want to check

2) Save those static "TODO" tabs to a task manager[1] and treat them as tasks.

[1]: My own task manager: https://github.com/naggie/dstask/ -- saving the URL in note means I can open the tab in a browser again in a command (open)
