I prefer using tabs because the space constraint forces you to actually choose what's important to read. When there is no space constraint everything just gets dumped into a pile and there's no real way to prioritize what you truly do and don't want to read. You just end up with a long list of stuff you don't care enough to actually read.

At least that was my experience with Pocket. Maybe it works for some. I do the same thing with physical books. I don't keep a list of books to read. I keep a bookshelf full of stuff I'm making my way through over the years. Spending the money forces me to choose what I actually feel is important I read vs what I think I want to read.

Nothing ensures I'll never see it again more than bookmarking it and closing the tab in hopes that I'll one day read it. Out of sight, out of mind.

Accumulating tabs works for me. I always end up working back through them because they are so visible.

Pocket gets worse the more you use it: https://old.reddit.com/r/dredmorbius/comments/5x2sfx/pocket_...

Tabs save the history of the tab as well. This is a great resource. And it's saved in session files when you save.
