Personally I open vast sums of tabs because, unlike browser history, tabs are organized in windows that help you maintain context for whatever you were thinking of when the tabs were opened. In an ideal world, I'd eventually go back and bookmark, tag, and close them. Unfortunately there are very few options for cross-browser tagged bookmark sync.

I suspect the major browser vendors are not incentivized to create a solution for this problem. In the case of Microsoft and Google, they'd prefer you avoided bookmarks and asked their search engine so that they can serve you ads. Apple has never prioritized cross platform conveniences, so that leaves out Safari. Firefox is better about this, but only with other instances of Firefox.
