I almost never close tabs. Maybe once or twice a year I close them all at once, but until then, the number just keeps growing and growing. Currently there are 2700 tabs open in my Firefox on Android. It still works relatively well. The only problem I notice is when I type in an address, it doesn't show the list of matching open tabs and history items. Inconvenient, but not critical. I should change my habits, yes.

I still marvel at people who accumulate lots of tabs. As someone who rarely has more than two tabs going at a time(1), I am fascinated by that workflow and what the benefit is.

(1)Although I often have multiple instances of the browser going if I'm doing research. I find it convenient to organize pages with multiple instances, so I can select which group I want to see by using the task bar.

It's cause I want to keep tabs (like a bookmark) but am too lazy to find the bookmark folder

I do this then forget, my “solution” is to use the “turn active tabs into bookmarks” feature on Brave Mobile so I can save everything with the promise to sort it later. That was easily 10,000 bookmarks ago.
