I'm of the bookmark generation, my tapbount explodes during active trouble-shooting or research then dwindles to 0 immediately after. About 2k bookmarks. My bookmarks is a plain html file in my home directory, it is my "starting page" too, so I use it by opening a new window. I like it because it is easy to edit, human readable, and portable.

I'm sorry that there are so many people with hundreds of tabs open, because theyir use-pattern is why my browser constantly seems to want to purge tabs from active memory, even though I have plenty of free memory and do not want them purged. For instance, a few web-apps that have no active code or sockets, running, but does have a state.. when those tabs are purged, so is the state..
