This is a UI problem, not a you or I problem. Browser makers never figured out how to do bookmarks properly, so tabs became a bad reinvention of bookmarks.

Look at how some students work with their textbooks: they fill the book with tons of little sticky bookmarks, colour coded and everything. You can write on them too!

So why are these better than tabs or bookmarks on web browsers? Because they’re organized per-book! Put one book aside and grab another and it becomes a whole new space to put your stickies! Browser tabs do let you do that with multiple windows or tab groups, but it’s too clunky and not spatial/tactile the way books are, so people don’t remember what’s in those other tabs.

That's why I use Vivaldi. Between its workspaces (different books) I can have the relevant tabs and tab stacks for when I eventually need them because I'll never find them again or remember them in some bookmark tool. They also have tab memory management so anything I haven't opened in x amount of time, the process is killed so my browser doesn't implode.

Zen browser does exactly this with workspaces which each have their tabs, with the option to pin some of those and/or put them in folders. So if you wanna get away from chromium it should not be too much of a change (not to mention the many things Zen does great over base firefox)

How does it do with memory management? Before Vivaldi implemented it, it would obviously get laggy after a while.
