This is so me: Open this, look at it later.

Eventually I have way too many open. The browser crashes or something. Restore, missing most of them. Life goes on, I haven't missed anything. Why do I do this to myself?

You can never beat me. I currently have 3200 tabs open in one browser, and 1100 in another. And by the time I've processed all of them, I'll have opened thousands more. It's like a cancer: it just grows and grows.

Information addiction?

Not an addiction. I have a lot of interests, but I go through it at a healthy pace.

Yes!

I believe I've actually had even more tabs open in the past at some point, but now I have a few less. Still many thousands of them, though. Tree Style Tabs is now a necessity for me to view, organise, and close them. This is one major reason I use Waterfox and Palemoon over Firefox (since the addon is a lot less powerful on Firefox since they removed XUL).

I wish Brave would get a better Tree Style Tabs than the old Sidewise. I've been tempted to migrate, again. Vivaldi was good until it got bogged down with tabs.

I wish there was a version of the Tor browser that's based on the old Firefox. If I proxy another browser through Tor, I'll be vulnerable to fingerprinting, so that won't do. I don't like the new Firefox either.

I believe the new Tree Style Tabs is actually more efficient than the old one. But both are unpleasant to use. For the new Firefox, there's Sidebery, which is more efficient, but also buggy: you can lose your tab structure on startup. There's also Tree Tabs, but that one is slow as well, and buggy. For Waterfox, there's a wonderful addon called Tabs Tree. That's actually the best addon of its kind that I could find. You have to install Classic Addon Archive in order to access it.

I have thousands of tabs in my Sidewise, but most are hibernated. I try to keep the active tabs under a hundred. Worse is that I'm a disco ball but wish I were focused like a laser. Projects pile up.

I too have thousands of tabs open. The vast majority aren't critical at all, but some are still important, and it's a pain to sort through all of them to find the ones that are important and the ones that aren't.

why not just bookmark em

Because then you'll forget it's there! That's why I always copy each page I read out of a book so that I can make a giant collage of it. The most efficient reading experience by far.
