In my case, I have a single window for Firefox (except for when I have another opened in privacy mode). I then have a - wide - variety of more or less topic-based tab groups. So when I'm doing something re AI, I switch to that group, or Emacs, or work, or Python, etc. Sometimes things get crossed, but eventually I send tabs I want to preserve/defer to their proper groups. If I open a new tab and start typing something that's very similar to an existing tab, I get the option to switch to it, even if it's in another group. And whenever I want to access and iterate on some particular topic, whether for 5 seconds or 5 hours, all the context is just a group switch away.

I do similarly with Sidebery (a TST-like extension) which has 'panels' (groups of tabs or tab trees that you can tab between). A nice bonus is that you can assign containers to panels too, so they automatically open in the right place, you don't mix cookies between 'work' and 'personal' or whatever, etc

And for me having that as sort of 'super tabs' in the sidebar is nicer than flicking between multiple windows, but I can imagine some would prefer the more tangible separation.
