edit: I think I’ve just gotten a habit of saving to bookmarks so the browser doesn’t take forever to open, before unloading inactive tabs became a thing.

I mean 8 windows alone are anoying enough. How are you supposed to find your main one, without circulating through all of them?

Each window serves a different purpose, and tabs in each window are usually grouped together so that they're somewhat related.

As someone who does something similar, you should try Sidebery. It lets you have tab panels - basically groups - and each one has a tree of tabs. Much better than having a large amount of windows.

I mean if you have over 5000 tabs open, your system is probably smoking weed and drinking molten salt, just to keep cool.

Bob knows that my system can't really function with more than about 250 tabs open.

Firefox gives up keeping open tabs up to date. I've had 5000 tabs open without any slowdown. But I do realise this is about Chrome....

You can use Stash Tab extension and move the shame to a place you don't see near your face constnatly while ignoring it lol. And because it saves as different tabs (under date and time, although you might be able to edit the title name), it becomes a bit less overwhelming to come back to.

But yes, only at mobile I got around 200 tabs :(
