If you work with many dedicated workspaces for specific tasks (for me, 16), then a lot of tabs on a machine can mean a perfectly reasonable amount per workspace

If you work with many dedicated workspaces for specific tasks (for me, 16), then a lot of tabs on a machine can mean a perfectly reasonable amount per workspace. At any time I have between ~500 and 1k open across all devices.
I've built up a custom semi-madcap system, but like others, it works with my workflow. A script takes a snapshot of all tabs across all devices, saved to raw html so that it's fairly well future-proofed, and then I'm free to close any tabs that I can't get to right away. And then I've created a custom browser purely for being able to go thru the saved tabs, auto-organizing pages by subject or domain, with custom pruning tools.
I feel like page/tab/bookmark management is a core problem from the birth of web browsing that has never really been solved for most people. I have 3 main places for my core bookmarks, in Safari, Firefox and then also folders on my drive (still one of the few guaranteed cross-browser ways to store them without using online tools). This is all related to the tab problem above.
