Cause: Involuntary context switch from what I am doing. Reasons could be an email that came in, a colleague who asked me a question, I started writing a new blog article etc.
Eventually for every context switch I have now 5-7 tabs opened and before I close them I have switched context again.
How do you find the relevant tab? Either I find it in one quick skim ~ usually a separate window corresponds to a specific context switch ~ or I open another tab.
Bypass any organization. Just need to periodically do garbage collection i.e. close tabs / windows no longer relevant.
Browser restart probably happens once in ten days. I do not shut down my macbook.

Reasons could be an email that came in, a colleague who asked me a question, I started writing a new blog article etc." To me, your description sounds like you don't want to have zillions of tabs open, but it just happens to you. "An email that came in": configure your mail program to not interrupt you, or interrupt you less often, or close it altogether. Worse, if starting a new blog article is an involuntary context switch, shouldn't you seek counseling for that?
