Ditto. I have no idea why bookmarks are so hard for some people to use. RAM is far more limited than regular storage, and bookmarks are minuscule in size compared to browser tabs. This "problem" was solved decades ago and yet I still see tab-hoarders everywhere.

Bookmarks don't store history or context (for Tree-style tab users, what tab was <this> opened from?). Tabs do. Bookmarks solve only half the problem, tabs solve more.
I use a mix of leaving multiple windows with 1-20 tabs in each and Toby to organise them after a while.
My "workflow" usually consists of: open new window for the topic/theme (whatever it may be, research, study, reading news) and go opening tabs, searches, articles. When I get to a point where a window hasn't been active for a few days I close the useless/uninteresting tabs and save the rest as a collection in Toby.
It's been extremely helpful to manage my fear of missing knowledge or closing something I could get interested, the curation after a few days really helps.

Well-written modern browsers suspend tabs. Barely uses any RAM.

Bookmarks are buried in a toolbar and may as well be deleted. Tabs visually remind you of their presence.
