I've never really understood this. I might go 10 or 20 tabs deep in a browsing session if I'm researching something, but if I want to save something for later I will either bookmark it or paste links into a text file. Having hundreds of tabs open all the time just seems inefficient to me.

Well, you've just said it yourself. You used the word "session". There really is no such thing for some of us, the browser is permanently open and also opens the same tabs again if the browser has to be closed for some reason.

Edit: I mean, it's still a session - just a permanent session.

I mean I know you can sort them into folders and such with extensions but if the tabs get corrupted, or you lose your session seems like you're hosed unless you bookmarked them or saved the tab session as a backup
