How do you manage 147 open tabs and why have them all open at once?

I have several hundred open on my M2 MBA and have no problem. Maybe it's because I use Brave? I don't know but have never had to think too much about it. I also don't have much RAM (either the base amount or up a little).

I do restart my browser once a month or so, if things ever feel less snappy than normal.

I think the question is why rather than physically how. Surely that amount of tabs is useless because you'll have duplicates, irrelevant things, etc.

In Safari, tabs get small up to a point, then they are scrollable. Sure, there are duplicates but it's usually the homepage of HN or Twitter. I close those when encountered.

Really bad habit, when I’m into something I open some tabs and if I switch to something else I keep opening new bunch of tabs.

Once I no longer remember the older tabs I create a tab group from the current tabs in case there’s a tab I care about and start fresh.
