I feel like I start to lose focus when I have more than a few tabs open. When I see people with dozens of tabs open I get a little panicky. I want to focus on the task at hand and if I want to recall an old site I'll use bookmarks and history for that, not bloat my active session state.

Uh. Afraid to say this, but I've had more than 1000 tabs open.

It's useful too. One time I remembered doing something, found the tab. Sure, it was a 6 year old tab, but it was helpful.

This doesn't sound too much different than my garage, really. Just junk and half finished projects piled up.

That might be useful some day. toss

I get why it'd be useful, and stretching the capabilities like that means that browsers get more and more useful and efficient. It just doesn't work for me, and that's alright. If you can open 1000 tabs, my 10 are no problem!

I periodically take firefox's recovery.jsonlz4 and pipe it through a bunch of jq to export it as a datestamped bookmarks-$(date ...).org file. Right now I have 15 windows and 5351 tabs. Then I close all but the windows I have actually looked at in the last month.

Neat idea. With how lame Google search is, this is handy when looking for something already found.

I once had ~40k tabs.
