Some people effectively use tabs as bookmarks.

Or, if you want to look at it the other way, bookmarks are just tabs that don't load until you click on them.

Bookmarks are tabs that you're sure you want to keep permanently.

Bookmarks are where links go to die, never to be opened again.

I wouldn't say "die." A link that is never opened again can serve a few useful purposes if it is indexed among a user's bookmarks. (discovering these purposes is left as an exercise to the reader)

Bookmarks are stateless hence useless for many use cases.
