It seems like many people basically use open browser tabs as history/bookmarks. If they don't close it, they want to remember it forever.

I believe browsers have had to adapt to this by basically converting tabs into auto-bookmarks that have advanced caching or something. So they automatically unload and have logic to determine when they are actually supposed to be active.

I wonder if eventually tabs, history, bookmarks, and tab groups will be completely merged into one flexible and intelligent feature.

On wider screens, a left sidebar might open by default with tabs stacked vertically.

Not sure but it seems like people don't use tabs as originally intended.

Maybe if they just made history more obvious then that would change the equation.
