...I closed 1500 tabs a couple weeks ago...

Each tab must have been one micron wide, how did you even expect to be able to click on a specific one in the future with that many open - wait, I think I've answered my own question.

They have a minimum width and then you can scroll

But the minimum width is useless to know what the tab is...

Firefox has a tab search 😁

That's why you use TreeStyleTabs

Sideberry is a particularly useful extension for this, especially if you have an ultra wide monitor

You underestimate the sheer volume in my hippocampus dedicated to tracking tabs.

... Kidding, mostly. Because generally tabs are grouped together in a way that makes sense so it's easy to remember. These 10 tabs are me researching a new tool... A couple tags for articles I will surely get to... Then these 15 tabs are documentation for XYZ... Those 5 tabs are YouTube videos I want to watch... These are three Wikipedia searches that popped in my head and oh look a couple songs I want to listen to before adding them to my playlist.

If I want to find a tab and they are fully minimized then I click on the group with the relevant icon then I Ctrl+Tab through them until I find what I want. Perfectly reasonable.

I swear it makes sense and bookmarks are not an adequate replacement.
