Not to proliferate your issue but have you checked out extensions for tab trees in your browser? It let’s you organize all the tabs you want yo keep. I’ve had the extension for years after someone told me about it. Maybe I’ll think about using it today when I get to work and see the 5 or 6 browser instances with 20-40 tabs each I have open on my work pc…
People think I’m crazy too, similar number of tabs.
But History no longer works in so many browsers… it only lasts 30 days… and bookmarks are not suggested properly in the search / address bar the same way open tabs are, so it’s wrong, very very wrong, and quite naughty… but this is the way to achieve this specific kind of long-term referencing… with zero effort
Depends on the browser, but sometimes dedicated search field, sometimes in the omnibar, plus LLM can search contents (depending on extensions)
I definitely feel there should be a much better way, but I’ve tried read it later services, built in “reading list”, link aggregators, all of which have just enough friction that I peter off using them, idk
I guess that makes 100+ tabs a bit more reasonable to filter through. I still dont quite see the advantage of having so many, maybe just a fear the information will be gone next time I would go to search it up?
Yes, thats my though too when I open stuff in a new tab “for later”. What didn’t get through to my brain yet is that it is then out of sight (lost among hundreds of other tabs “for later”)
Right… 55… Thats how many tabs I totally have… 😅😭
(Right now I’m at 470, which is pretty low for me. I have a problem. I honestly dont know what’s wrong with me.)

You can usually configure the kept history interval, if it helps.
You can search open tabs?

it’s called “if i put it out of sight i’ll forget about it”
