I have almost 2000 tabs open. I use sideberry for tab management.
> Are people using tabs as a soft bookmark of basically anything interesting?
Yep, that's as good a description as any. I have a lot of tabs that I'm not "finished with" in any finite amount of time.
Case in point: currently shopping for a steam generator for a steam shower. I have about 30-40 tabs open to different models, stores, reviews, data pages etc. Once I'm done with the purchase, I'll close them all.
I sometimes use sideberry's ability to have tab groups, but not much.
To be honest, it's a not a great system in that stuff falls off my radar. Most of the tabs at the bottom of my sideberry tab list are ones I have not visited in many months. There's very little point having them there. However the cognitive cost and computational costs are close to zero.
