When I asked someone about it, they basically used them like bookmarks.

My wife calls them her emotional support tabs.

I will come back to it eventually, when the time is right.
It's not important enough to bookmark, it's not urgent enough to get to right now, but it's too interesting to ignore entirely. When the time is right for a tab, I will return to it. Sometimes I scroll through them to jog my memory. Sometimes I'll decide it wasn't as interesting as I thought and delete it.

Have you seen the price of RAM lately? You gotta do something to make sure you're getting your moneys worth.

but once I’m done, I close them all
Same. But I also have a continuous stream of new projects that never get finished.

You know when you make a sandwich or some buttered toast and you set the knife carefully on the edge of the sink. Well because you might decided to make another sandwich latter or your SO goes that looks good can I get one too. And bam your the hero because you now have one less knife to clean in the dishwasher.
That is why I have so many tabs open. I know I probably won't need most of them and it's safe to close them. But oh dang do I feel like a hero when I get that itch for a video I want to watch and I don't have to look through my history for next 20 minutes because, bam, its right their in that tab.

I suspect they lack whatever visceral reaction makes me start to panic if I have more tabs open than fit neatly across the top of the browser.
replies:
Those are fucking rookie numbers.
replies:

At work? Every shit is a browser app now. Hard to organize.
replies:
For me it's because I have ADHD and thrive among organized clutter.
I may have 100 tabs open, but they're all categorized: One tab group for YouTube, one for porn, one for my website, and one for everything else. I keep stuff in there that's good enough to hang onto for a while, but not good enough to bookmark.
replies:
Bookmarks are where projects go to die.
replies:
I typically have 100-200. It’s usually a “let me come back to this in a day or three”, which may or may not happen. Or a thread of “doing research on a topic” and then getting pulled to something else, but not having time to summarize/organize for later. Plus, as others have mentioned, sometimes you need the tab session history.
I really appreciate y’all saying what a monster or computer illiterate I am, though. Don’t tell my boss, she’ll wonder what I do all day.
replies:
Most people I know who do that use them as kinda bookmarks. Tbh, I do also sort of do this on my phone. I keep some tabs open with stuff I still wanted to check out. And every now and then I go through them and close the ones I don't need. But on PC I just close the whole session with all tabs when I'm done
