Oh, I'm absolutely not kidding. I've tried to do the OneNote thing, or get into org-mode, or manage collections of bookmarks. Too much overhead, not enough value to justify the work. So I have a browser window per "thing" that I'm dealing with, with a whole bunch of tabs, and when I'm done with the thing, the browser gets closed and the tabs go away.

You should try Amna (https://getamna.com https://getamna.com)! It wraps around this exact workflow, saves your tabs, and can manage your browser windows. You may have to login to Chrome to get your bookmarks, tabs and stuff.

This approach kind of exploded on me, and I couldn’t find any window anymore. Recently discovers tab groups, and that you can name browser windows. With those two in place I actually see some hope of recovering control.

  I would say the too many windows issue is a feature, not a bug. If you have too many windows thats too many things to do, either you need to do one or prune your list

    Indeed, to many windows. Partly due to not finding things though, ctrl+n being simpler than look for the old context. Named windows made them simpler to find, thus simpler to avoid ctrl+n. The other issue, of course, is my TODO-stack growing faster than I have time to organise and plan it. I’m hoping a working Zettlekasten can address that part by moving the entire class of research and design type of tasks out of the “should be doing right now” category.

This is also my exact workflow. Currently at 260 tabs after an OS reset but I've gone up to 1-2k before (though that was a particularly bad time for me). Every tab or bookmark manager I've tried just didn't feel right, too much friction, too little return, eventually forgotten. I feel like the tool I'm looking for doesn't exist, but I don't really know what I'm looking for either.

  I didn't see share here it so I'm recommending it. https://able.ac https://able.ac The point there is to change the workflow in such a way that you won't need tabs
