on the same boat.. but have given up on using Chrome for bookmarks. It's too slow on Linux when you've more than 50 tabs.

Firefox loads under a minute with 510 tabs from various tab-groups. (I use a tab-group for each group and field of study and yes I use most tabs actually)

The search in the sidebar is so enormously useful, it helps me to find ANY bookmark made by hitting CTRL+b or middle-click (two-finger tap here). I heavily use tags, which is really making the search better, but I wish these tags could be automatically generated by an algorithm.

1. https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/flat-bookmarks-h... (this is what opens up a better sidebar)

2. https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/bookmark-rater/ (rating is really useful sometimes)

3. https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/enhanced-middle-... (I use that to open the sidebar)

4. https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/auto-sort-bookma... (autosort "heap, stack and memory" of bookmarks. I don't sort the the toolbar)

Optional:

i) https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/faviconreloader (In case you want icons for old bookmarks)

ii) https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/tabgroups-menu/ (helpful to quickly switch, rename and reorder tab-groups, because zooming-in-out sucks)

iii) https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/unloadtab/ (worried about loading >500 tabs at once? set it to load only tabs you clicked and unload tabs oder n)
