I have lots of different things I'm doing, not simultaneously but all of them regularly.
I have a hobby for which im using ~5-10 different sites regularly. And another hobby with ~3-5 sites.
Then I have a business where I keep all relevant tabs open, which are quite a few as well. Then all the general stuff (emails etc). And I probably still forgot something.
I'm still far away from the 100s, but I do keep around 20-30 tabs open all the time, and that doesn't include any temporary tabs that I do close right after using it. I have them all sorted and separated using Firefox' containers feature though.
Yes I could work with bookmarks too, but that has a few downsides. For example, for my business I am working with different Google drive folders for each project. It would be annoying to keep the bookmarks up to date or to navigate to the relevant folder each time when I can just leave the tab open and continue where I left off. Another example is one of my hobbies where I use the same 10 sites every time, so I'd have to open 10 sites when I do the hobby and then close them when I'm done, which seems redundant to me for just the benefit of not having tabs open I'm not using at the moment.
So ultimately, to me it's way easier to have an overview of 30 open tabs than managing endless bookmarks that I need to keep up to date.
What I would prefer is a feature where I can have different environments and all tabs of that environment open and close automatically. So I say I want the environment "work" and my 10 work tabs open, then I work, then I switch the environment profile and all current work tabs' updated URLs get saved and the other environment's tabs open. If there's anything like that I'd be thankful for a recommendation.
That's the only way I see me not having dozens of tabs open all the time honestly.
Thank you! I don't have apple devices but Sideberry comes very close to what I'm looking for, I think it will help me organize my tabs.
