Re:I closed a lot of browser tabs

My too many tabs problem is more than a bookmarking issue.
- It’s partly ADHD: I lose track of tabs I no longer care about
- It’s partly about state: I have actively performed some unsaved work that wouldn’t be preserved by a bookmark
- It’s partly because I use the same computer for work and personal use: this amplifies both of the other problems, and I haven’t found a good profile management solution to mitigate them
I mean by all means an improved bookmark solution could help, and could potentially help to improve these other issues.
But my current solution is to just treat all tabs as ephemeral, and just close them all periodically. I very seldom bookmark anything, I generally use browsing history for that use case instead
