...I closed 1500 tabs a couple weeks ago...

Each tab must have been one micron wide, how did you even expect to be able to click on a specific one in the future with that many open - wait, I think I've answered my own question.

They have a minimum width and then you can scroll

But the minimum width is useless to know what the tab is...

Firefox has a tab search 😁

That's why you use TreeStyleTabs

You underestimate the sheer volume in my hippocampus dedicated to tracking tabs.

... Kidding, mostly. Because generally tabs are grouped together in a way that makes sense so it's easy to remember. These 10 tabs are me researching a new tool... A couple tags for articles I will surely get to... Then these 15 tabs are documentation for XYZ... Those 5 tabs are YouTube videos I want to watch... These are three Wikipedia searches that popped in my head and oh look a couple songs I want to listen to before adding them to my playlist.

If I want to find a tab and they are fully minimized then I click on the group with the relevant icon then I Ctrl+Tab through them until I find what I want. Perfectly reasonable.

I swear it makes sense and bookmarks are not an adequate replacement.

Sideberry is a particularly useful extension for this, especially if you have an ultra wide monitor
