I think you describe the real problem here. For me I just skip the bookmarking part. If I want to come back to something later, I just leave the tab open. This was a good solution because 2-3 years ago there came an inevitable browser crash and all the open tabs were lost. If you could not remember them, they most likely are not that important.

Unfortunately these hard resets do not occur any more. So I have to close the tabs that I find not that interesting after some days. But closing tabs is much easier than deleting old bookmarks. I assume this is, because you have not commited yourself that much.



Hello, fellow 100+ tab club member. How do you keep your tabs organized? I used Tree Style Tab plus an extension to aggressively unload background tabs. I wish there were a browser where a vertical tree of tabs was the default tan interface instead of a hack around an inferior horizontal bar of tabs.


I used the same extension but now moved to https://github.com/mbnuqw/sidebery. You can group tabs, set rules (like automatically move to group X if URL matches Y) and much more. Best of all, you can save a snapshot of your tabs to open in the future instead of relying on restoring previous session.


Actually I do not use vertical trees because it forces me to select and close tabs once the get to small to have and text displayed on them.
