TIL my browser had 47 tabs open and I didn't even notice

I was at the coffee shop on Saturday trying to load a recipe and my laptop froze for a solid 30 seconds. Counted the tabs when it came back and realized I was hoarding stuff from three weeks ago. Has anyone else found a way to stay on top of tab clutter without just closing everything and losing something important?

Yeah the "leaving tabs open as a reminder" thing is such a trap. It's like we're scared of forgetting something so we keep the digital clutter around instead of just writing it down somewhere simple. I've started using a single notes app on my phone for all those "save for later" things and it's helped a ton with the tab chaos.

Is it just me or does clearing tabs feel like admitting defeat sometimes? Like you're giving up on that thing you were totally gonna get back to.

The notes app trick works until that app has 47 notes in it too.
