huh... WTF do you have 500 tabs open for?

I usually carry 3 sets of tabs, typically around ~10 each:

Personal info sites, like reddit and its links...

Tech Sites, like HN and its links....

Video Sites, like Nexflix / Prime...

EDIT:

Also - what tab-mgmt extensions do you use? Like Tab Grouping etc...

Also - one of the things I attempted to do, but failed to do so consistently, was to swipe to a different desktop between, work, person, and learning/browsing... instead of tab groups I had "workspaces" but that is a hard habit to build, for me, it seems.

> what tab-mgmt extensions do you use

I didn't answer before because the answer is none. Not sure if anyone will see this but today Firefox recommended some extensions and one was OneTab. That let me turn all my tabs into a list. Then I could search those and (manually, one by one) open all of the tabs from a given site as long as it's in the title. I'm already down to 264 tabs (from 900+) today in just a little bit of time, and still going.

i ususally keep tabs open to retain the context because i am too lazy for bookmarks.

yea, tab-grouping is essential. (tabkit in the good old days, sideberry currently)
