It is absurd to suggest that anyone needs more than a few dozen tabs. Once you get to the point where you're leaving tabs open for more than a couple of days, you should recognise that you're misusing tabs as a brittle form of bookmarking.

(In my opinion, Firefox and others could solve this by blurring the lines between bookmarks and tabs with some clever UI.)

I half agree. But tab, window, and tree state (I use tree-style tabs) provide critical context.

I really do use numerous tabs productively, though with better management tools that would likely be more lke a hundred or so tops, not 1300.

The count surprised me, thogh not excessively.

It's presumptive to tell anyone "you're holding it wrong".

Empirical data shows that you are incorrect. People use tabs as a "brittle form of bookmarking", whether you like it or not.
