At work I start off with 14 tabs, they're tools and references that I use every day.

At home I have several projects, I use TST (tree-style tabs), each project has a subtree. Sometimes I'll close off a tree, sometimes I'll save a tree to bookmark. An example tree was where I was investigating a problem with pdf files across some public resources (related to work), I had the principle sources for the PDFs, the PDFs themselves open, 6 tabs, then some searches looking for bug reports and each of those having child tabs of actual reports, then reference material raised through the bug report pages (gs and convert documentation). We're at about 20 tabs now -- meanwhile my console has at least 4 tabs open with gs and convert commands and man pages, I upload finding to gitlab (for reference when I'm at work) -- gitlab pages added to tab count. I test some pdf conversion commands, open a file manager (with its own tabs!) and open the results in the browser too. Midway one of the kids asks me about buying something, I switch to my Amazon tree of tabs, open a couple of searches and my basket, stack up some comparison prices in other tabs; one shop has several options where Amazon only has the one so I open them all and control-tab to do visual comparison; roughly +30 tabs, but I close off the tab trees that are poor prices or out-of-stock, down to about 10 tabs left until I make the actual purchase in ~10 days time.

I have a couple of hundred tabs open sometimes.

I don't find anything wrong with such a workflow.
