Because it works for me. Every now and then I tend to it and cut a couple hundred or thousand tabs I no longer need.

You seem here and in another comment to be kind evasive around the spirit of the question…which I think is more “how does this work for you?”

You choose to do it so I assume it works for you. What benefit does this give you over the more traditional bookmarking, etc?

I don't meant to sound evasive, and your clarified question here is easier to understand and answer appropriately.

The benefit is that I went from thousands of bookmarks, which were difficult and time-consuming to organize and navigate, to contextual pages each filling specific roles and containing ephemeral links to what I need. It works very well for my ADHD and allows me to basically have a messy desk across several domains and contexts, while still having file cabinets for things I do want organized and stashed away.

This has let me vastly simplify my bookmarks, which I typically arrange as unlabeled favicons ordered by color on my bookmarks toolbar, with some others stashed away in a folder.

I keep what I really need, and I'm always ready to drop things I don't need, and it helps me keep a better long-term working memory of ongoing tasks, interests and hobbies.

Thanks for the info—it’s interesting. I am glad you have a working system for you. At face value it would be difficult for me. I am probably the exact opposite—-I rarely go beyond two browser instances and if I get beyond 4-5 tabs in them, I’m closing something. However, it’s not just browser tabs, I am kind of a orderly minimalist freak about all things.
