> Some people on HN open very many tabs. Like, over one hundred open tabs.

I can't even imagine how that is useful. I guess it is to them or they wouldn't do it.

I have 25 tabs open at the moment (and I've only had this browser open for 3 hours).

I tend to "open in new tab" and queue things for reading.

Because I tend to open lots of new tabs within a short period, it makes identifying the one that is playing sounds very hard. The worst is the "delayed video player" scenario, especially if it is below the fold. It's incredibly annoying and embarrassing to be desperately trying to find where the noise is coming from if it happens in a boring meeting.

I can get to 50 tabs pretty quickly when researching a problem. Sometimes I'll then trim them and save them as sets to open later. Is really useful for cross referencing and noun hunting.

The browser.

On firefox is just Bookmarks > Bookmark All Tabs
