    I never understood why people keep tabs open. If I’m not going to use this information in the next day or so, I just bookmark it and come back to it later.

      I have 100+ tabs open at a time, but with the exception of a few pinned tabs the 100 tabs I have open today are not the 100 tabs I have open in a few days.

      I do bookmarked lots of websites. Going back to maybe 10 years ago (when did firefox implement sync?). Some of them duplicated or cease to function. I also never open them again form bookmark.

      With open tabs, at least I re-read them again, even if only to check if I still want to read them or to close them.

      But how do you tell the difference between things you’ll need in the next day, and things you just think you’ll need?

      Real question, my phone has given up even counting the open tabs, please help.

        If it has been a few days and I haven’t used it, it gets bookmarked.

        Based on the way you asked for help, I feel like you might need Marie Kondo to ask if each tab sparks joy. 😅

          You know, this has actually genuinely inspired me to add a new task to my end of week review. Maybe I can just start closing the pointless ones once a week and the habit will grow from there? We can but dream, we can but dream…
