Maybe it's just my ADHD, but I can't even imagine managing that many tabs.
In my workflow, I start a project, then keep opening new tabs as I need to look things up, frequently moving tabs between multiple browsers spanning my 32" monitor. So long as I'm working on that problem, I just keep opening new tabs.
Then, when I've finally squared away the section of the project I was working on, I usually just close the browser entirely and start fresh.
Needing to manually sift through the 80+ tabs I chaotically opened in the last hour or so to figure out what's worth keeping? Hell no. That's what browser history is for. It's Etch-a-Sketch time! Shake it clean and start fresh.
Seems like your ADHD manifests in a different way than some others. I have no less than 90 tabs open across three monitors and damnit I nEeD all of them!
I typically have 50-200 browser tabs open, but I also usually have 5+ browser windows running. So, like, when I'm building something, I'll have the thing I'm building and all its parts spread across two windows, and a third window with all my reference materials. Then I can cleanly kill them all when I'm done.
I don't really know what I'd keep from those when that workflow is done. The thing is built, so I don't need any of it anymore.
I feel the exact same
Seeing colleagues crawl through 10 different tabs every time they want to check a documentation is quite a bit frustrating
You want the session addon. Also profile switcher. My project topic usually span 500-1000 tabs each and I often have 15-30 projects going in a single session. Can't wait until I can use open source LLM to ask questions about all the content of all my tavs.
