How do you find literally anything at that point?

I got so used to the Safari tab system that I decided to replicate it in Firefox (recently switched).

For me Three Styles Tabs and Simple Tabs Groups have helped me enormously to keep track of all of my tabs, additionally, I think you can search your tabs within the search section.

As almost all crap I have, I keep categories/groups of it:

Random searches

NAS related stuff

Mac related stuff etc.

The part I can't figure out is why?

Bookmarks/favorites are designed specifically for managing large collections of more or less frequently accessed sites. They have descriptions, tags, folder structures, etc all built in and requiring a few kb of disk space each instead of 100MB of RAM. I'm wracking my brain for a reason why deliberately keeping hundreds or thousands of tabs loaded could possibly be more effective at managing a collection of resources. I got nothing though...

Well, using the aforementioned add-ons is way faster IMHO.

Have you ever given a look at Vivaldi browser? That is power user tab management indeed.

I only use bookmarks to, well bookmark links that I really like a lot, not anything related to "ongoing projects".

On top of that, browsers can offload the tabs thus making the ram usage minimal, but yeah that would only be useful if you have a ton of stuff opened.
