It can easily be just a habit. I had the same habit as OP before, at some point I used to collect tabs stopped at 500 or so. Then I began collecting links and info in markdown. Many people go even further, they set up automation on top of notion, twitter bots and what not.
Now I just browse, collect only as much tabs I can read in 1-2 days. Hoarding hasn't done me any good. So I just don't do it anymore.
But why do I browse so much of twitter, HN. I think it is FOMO, but also a bit of a lack of purpose which I think I have atleast partially solved for now.
Or maybe its just curious minds can't stop when there is more information out there as said by one of the comments.
