For a similar reason I kill all my unpinned tabs automatically every 24 hours. If I didn't do/read it, it means there are more important issues.

I never understood the large browser tab list. Though I am the kind of person that typically keeps only one to two buffers open in my editor. I must have a mild allergy to visual noise or something.
Very much the same. I almost never have more than half a dozen browser tabs open. They are always ephemeral. I don't save browser history or cookies either. Dispite all technology advances, a person's short-term memory can still only actively handle to four to seven things at a time. I'm probably on the low side of that. Having 30 browser tabs open is utterly pointless as I won't have any idea what 25 of them are for.
I delete my tabs at shutdown. If its an important resource ut should be in the documentation for the project.
I'm running a company so it's more than a project.
