Hazel doesn't close tabs because it's 'like a trip down memory lane.' Mozilla says it has some profile and tab group features coming later this year that might help her organize those memories.
Maybe it’s just my ADHD, but I can’t even imagine managing that many tabs.
In my workflow, I start a project, then keep opening new tabs as I need to look things up, frequently moving tabs between multiple browsers spanning my 32" monitor. So long as I’m working on that problem, I just keep opening new tabs.
Then, when I’ve finally squared away the section of the project I was working on, I usually just close the browser entirely and start fresh.
Needing to manually sift through the 80+ tabs I chaotically opened in the last hour or so to figure out what’s worth keeping? Hell no. That’s what browser history is for. It’s Etch-a-Sketch time! Shake it clean and start fresh.
Seems like your ADHD manifests in a different way than some others. I have no less than 90 tabs open across three monitors and damnit I nEeD all of them!
I typically have 50-200 browser tabs open, but I also usually have 5+ browser windows running. So, like, when I’m building something, I’ll have the thing I’m building and all its parts spread across two windows, and a third window with all my reference materials. Then I can cleanly kill them all when I’m done.
I don’t really know what I’d keep from those when that workflow is done. The thing is built, so I don’t need any of it anymore.
You want the session addon. Also profile switcher. My project topic usually span 500-1000 tabs each and I often have 15-30 projects going in a single session.
Can’t wait until I can use open source LLM to ask questions about all the content of all my tavs.

I feel the exact same
Seeing colleagues crawl through 10 different tabs every time they want to check a documentation is quite a bit frustrating
