the primary difference between bookmarks and tabs is that bookmarks are static and tabs are dynamic. the best example is tracking a webcomic. the tab will stay open on the page where i stopped reading. it then allows me to go back and resume reading. when i follow links to the next pages, then the tab will be updated.

if i were to use a bookmark, then every time i'd advance a few pages in the comic, i'd have to delete the old bookmark and create a new one.

it is quite ironic that a browser feature called bookmark does not actually function like a physical bookmark for printed books.
