I can confirm that this also works perfectly well for browser bookmarks!

That's why I keep hundreds of tabs open. If it is open, I'll read it one day. Otherwise there is no chance.

That's what you think until eventually you have 5k+ browser tabs open at once and your browser has slowed to a crawl so you need to dump them all into bookmarks or a session backup and start the cycle again

Or when you lose them for some reason (browser crash, accidentally closing all,...) and you realize you actually don't care that much and just move on with your life.

Firefox let's me keep the tabs on standby. They don't take memory and only load when I click on them. Also I use vertical tabs using Sideberry extension. So it is easy to manage a huge amount of tabs.

I can confirm first-hand that once you hit about 2.8k tabs across two windows, typing in the address bar when opening a new tab gets unusably sluggish even on an AMD 3900X as it tries to search all the tabs for matches to switch to, even if the tabs themselves are unloaded.

Tridactyl also gets unusable.

I finally cleared all the tabs out last week and started over, because it was clear my "reading list" was simply never getting read, ever. There were tabs from February still in there, never read.
