Firefox’s speed with large numbers of tabs leaves Chrome in the dust

If people use tabs as bookmarks, perhaps it is because something is wrong with bookmarks.

I completely agree. It should be way easier to "braindump" a window full of tabs into a folder of bookmarks. There are browser extensions for this.

Alternatively, browsers could start treating window + tab lists as less ephemeral, and make it easy to restore window + tab combinations at any time, regardless of whether the browser thinks it crashed recently.

Chrome has that first feature. Right click on a tab, and click "Bookmark All Tabs..."

The bookmarking interface in chrome could use a facelift. The fact that I have to come up with a name for the folder and think about where to put it makes this less than ideal.

Extensions like OneTab make this sort of dump a one button affair, which makes the process easier when you also have ten windows open. It also keeps them separate from your longer term bookmarks, which is nice.
