Record on open tabs: over 7k on Firefox!

@Zalex108 Of course, the actual physical Hoarding Disorder is a devastating disease of the mind. But Digital Hoarding comes close, it's got all the hallmarks of OCD, even if maybe not as bad for one's physical well-being.

Since Groups and Workspaces, Tabs are better to manage.
Get them, there, awaiting, hibernated....
It's comfortable.Once arrive their time, some are
404
but there are lots more to review--
Just once reviewed, the decision to Bookmark it or not, is taken.
So till that moment, they stay nicely -
@Zalex108, so easy to bookmark a site if it have a content which is usefull for you, no hibernating needed, because it has only few bytes, even if you have half the internet in your bookmarks. But also bookmark hording isn't so usefull to find what you are seeking for, or the problem to open a bookmark from a site and see an 404 or "Reclaim this Domain". I've a lot of bookmarks and every ew month it is needed to gut out broken or discontinued sites.

@Catweazle I have around 700 sites which are sufficiently useful to me to bother bookmarking them. Even then, most are state or local government sites, and these jurisdictions are always hiring IT "experts" to "upgrade" their systems which invariably results in breaking what they had working and replacing it with something else which is seldom better, but always changes the URLs for the pages I need. So bookmarks are a moving target.
MUCH worse would be leaving any and every tab I might need open for weeks, months or years at a time. That is simply insane.
If I need a website, I use my bookmark (which I Keep close by and easy to find). If the government entity has changed the location of the page, I update the bookmark. If I don't have a bookmark, I use search because I know how to use search and I can always ensure the result I want is always on the first page. If I find myself searching the same page a lot, I bookmark it. I add a bookmark once every year or two.
My bookmark bar, with only 43 items, is a window to the world.
In my uninformed opinion, compulsive hoarding of tabs and bookmarks is evidence of a kind of disorder. Vivaldi should still make all things possible, but things being possible does not mean they should be done.

Mental disorder????

@barbudo2005, or misunderstanding tecnology
-
I think it is naive to think about misunderstanding technology because even 7000+ bookmarks is also unmanageable.
-
@barbudo2005, I don't know what to think about this, of course thousands of open tabs are unmanageable by definition and can have multiple causes, whether due to a Diogenes disorder, ignorance or simple carelessness in starting the browser with the tabs from the last session, without closing the ones already not needed, instead of starting clean, which can also lead to accumulating lots of tabs.
These things no longer surprise me, I know what human beings are capable of, nothing to do with being naive, rather resignation. -
@Dancer18 LOL - not sure I want to!

) I am surprised that 7,000 tabs open for over two years didn't take down the computer with it. At least we know what firefox is capable of now, and I think the logs from such a use would be valuable in making firefox more reliable. Perhaps this can be used as a browser stress test where a test rig with a Zeon CPU and 2TB of Ram is automatically configured to open up thousands of tabs with javascript games, news sites, youtube videos, podcasts, blogs etc with a debug build of the browser to see how much it can handle before it goes down.
